Most likely fuel injector noise. Nothing to be concerned about.

I had Valkyries that did the same thing after I shut them off ! No problems at all ! Don't worry about it . The oil starts draining into the oil pan is all and the engine starts to cool down .

Why can’t they show front and rear tire pressure at the same time?

Do yourself a favor being that that bike is brand new if your dealership can’t help you find another dealer. That’s just wrong.

The factory seat definitely sucks. I have a Corbin Seat and backrest and have no complaints. Very comfortable! Also, I enjoy the highway pegs that I have. Nice to stretch the legs on a long ride.

Really great customer service...it's why I went with Ultimate. Great video...thank you for posting it.

I've had 3 Ultimate seats on my last and present Goldwings. I love the seat. I was fortunate to get them all at reduced prices through eBay sales. Even used they were in excellent condition. If I get another bike, my first upgrade will be an Ultimate seat!

Im in the business and i would fix it for free as its a minor deal not worth all the controversy. The dealer should've judt done it right away as its thier reputation

I can’t believe it was even a question!

I just changed the oil in my new to me 2018 DCT….I don’t know what oil was in it previously, but I put in Amsoil full synthetic 10W30….when I started the bike I heard the ticking which wasn’t there previously….it seems to go away shortly after starting it….reading online, it seems pretty common but I think i’ll go see the dealer next week and see what they have to say about it….ride safe

I think you are just fu😅ll of sh!t. You've got to build a bridge and get over it. No man grew some balls!!! Sell it and buy a Burgman...

My 2020 DCT Tour is my first ever wing, I got new. I never wanted to ride a bike so much as the wing. The best touring bike on the PLANET. No bike company has the ONE like the wing. Not even BMW, yes. Some may argue. I am will not. I have owned them too. I can't wait to see what the 25 model will be. I hope, some good changes. Honda must change some things on this machine. Its just small stuff from listening to us, riders who ride for many years now. For me, the seat, infotainment (garbage for a 27K bike) and size of all cases around. The seat issue, why Honda could not make the seat adjustable via an internal air bag/pump to create your comfort, just like the Airhawk. One rocker switch (Soft to hard). Everyone will love that.

My 2021 dct ticks a bit leaving the house but never returning to the house. Purrs when fully warm. Highly suggest changing the oil every 4000 miles not 8000. Keep the oil in that fine engine and clutch fresh.

I have a 2021 and changed the oil today. It started ticking. Super annoying.

Honda and their dealers.........ain't what they used to be !!

Did they fix the problem? Did they found out where was that ticking noise came from?

You will hear lifter tapping occasionally just from switching from convetional oil to synthetic because of the velocity difference. It will come and go and sure you can pay to have a lifter check/adjustment or return to conventional to hide it.

I have a 2024 Gold Wing Tour DCT and purchased it new. I live 1.5 hours from the dealer and it was delivered to my house without a test ride. It had three miles on the odometer. The next day on my first ride I noticed an abnormal ticking noise from the right side cylinder bank. I read forum posts and watched UA-cam videos. I contacted the dealer and they said it was normal for this generation of motor. After living with it a few days, I made a video and sent it to the dealer. They said I could bring it in for an inspection and would check the valves, but they didn’t believe anything was wrong. I decided to check the valve clearances myself and they all were right in the center of the specified tolerance range. I also purchased an automotive stethoscope and isolated the noise to the number 5 cylinder (the one on the right side furthest to the rear). A few more days went by and I rode it to the dealer and let them listen to it for themselves in person. They agreed the ticking sound was abnormally loud. I went home and they picked up the motorcycle a few days later and had it for 16 days before I got it back. They contacted the corporate Honda tech center in South Carolina and were told to check several things: valve clearances, cam chain, cam chain tensioner, and to look into the cylinders with a borescope. They did not believe it was an injector issue, due to the location of the injectors relative to where the noise was coming from. The valves were right in the middle of the specified range for all intake and exhaust valves (just as I had measured them). The cam chain and tensioner were fine. The dealer thought they saw something inside the #5 cylinder with the borescope and then removed the head. However, they said it had been an illusion so-to-speak created by oil in the cylinder and everything was fine. They put everything back together and because nothing had been altered, the noise still existed. Then corporate Honda told them to tighten all of the exhaust valves on the right side to the tightest spec value of 0.03 inches. The normal specified range for the exhaust valves is 0.03 to 0.05 inches. Believe it or not, this solved the problem. They probably only needed to tighten the #5 cylinder’s exhaust valves, but they tightened all of them on the right side per corporate Honda’s instructions. I’m pleased the motorcycle is fixed but frustrated with Honda and the dealer, as this noise was present from new. I hope this information helps.

I think the traffic on this road will pick up for the next few years.

Thanks guys for bringing this topic, recently I purchased a 2024 Honda Goldwing tour after 6000K. I hear this ticking noise. My question is to the gentleman who post this video, does the ticking sound gone completely after the service.?

I bought a ‘23 at end of October ‘23. Got it home and noticed the same tick. Contacted dealer. Sent them video. The dealer sent video to Honda. They said it was normal that it is documented…to just ride it. I wasn’t satisfied. I had the dealer come pick it up (100 miles away in winter). I paid for transportation but the dealer agreed to check valve clearances and chain tensioners at their cost. Two were slightly out of specs but they corrected it. But…nothing changed. Tick is still there. Now I know it’s documented since I got a work sheet from dealer. Was told that if it fails…there’s proof and it will be repaired. Rode 1500+ miles since and no issues yet. I will continue to keep an eye/ear out for anything though.

I think you were well within your rights to have it fixed, regardless of any wrangling between the Dealer and Honda

No further thoughts necessary, no reason for "what if", Honda paid for the valve adjustment, end of story.

You’re in the RIGHT!!!!!!

It's always better to have slightly looser (adjusted to the loose side of the spec) than tighter valve clearance due to the thermal expansion factor. Now I'm not saying the valves clearance should be looser than spec, but mine 2024 has a slight ticking sound also, I'm not worried about it at all. Valve gear makes noise, they are under an exposed cylinder head cover of thin aluminum, you're going to hear noise. Ever see a modern car engine? Huge thick plastic cover on top of the valve cover with sound deadening insulation under it; that's to dampen the valve noise folks. If Honda put that on the Goldwing, you wouldn't hear a thing.

F AND A U ON UR SPORTSTER IN SPUDVILLE

I definitely agree with you, Don't knock other ppl's bikes , Ride whatever makes you happy..😎🇺🇸👍👍

Absolutely, If the dealer does not push hard enough on your behalf to get it covered than the Service Dept should back charge the Sales Dept invoice on your sale. Then they could send that bill to Honda to prove the work was performed. Not your problem it is their problem. It's not a used bike.

Had the same problem on my 2018 Wing. After a lot of back and forth with the dealer as you have done, I found my solution. Add an extra 1/2 quart of oil. It quiets the ticking noise a lot.

I had a 2019 Wing, purchased brand new, never heard any ticking. I traded it for a brand new 2022 Wing. I only have 1400 miles on it. A few months ago ago while I was warming it up in my garage, I heard ticking on the right side. I thought I was crazy. I just had my oil changed though I’m not at the suggested 4,000 miles for 1st OC, I figured after 2 years it was time to change the oil regardless of miles. I haven’t run the bike other than to ride home from the dealer OC, so I don’t know if the ticking remains. But I also know that there should be no ticking from pretty much still new $30,000 Wing with 1400 miles on it. I should add, the bike runs fine, but that ticking isn’t right..

All three of my Goldwing's had a ticking noise. None caused any issues even after many thousands of miles. My experiences were this noise is minor and if you put on your helmet or tunes, you likely will never know. Also never adjusted anything unless a service worker did so during a routine interval that I was not aware. Honda valve adjustment is 32,000 miles. Good Rides

In my opinion if Honda says there is a problem then yes Honda should fix it. If Honda won’t fix the problem then yes the dealership should stand behind the bike cause they sold it to you…

I have had several different kind of motorcycles. All of the m ticked.

Completely normal

If you could sit on top of your car/truck engine the whole time you’re driving, you’d hear all sorts of strange ticks, clicks, etc. but it never hurts to get it checked out. How did this situation end? Noise fixed?

Totally agree with you, sir. And that's a bunch of horse crap to even ask you or even involve you in their decision-making while dealing with Honda. The salesman should of said yeah Honda will take care of it or we will no worries. Be safe.

the only thing you should have been told is we will call you when its ready !!!!!! shame on honda!

lol...this must be the woke feeling channel. omg...gravity drains the lifters when parked on the kick stand. use the center stand. no more god damn feelings, okay. balls on...crying, off

I have a 2004, so basically the same bike as your '02. I've never ridden the latest generation, I can tell you as far as the handling, I think that is 3 mistakes Honda made. The bike is too long, and the steering rake is too steep and the weight is too high. Compared to my GL1200, I think they just went overboard on trying to make it too quick in the corners. The long wheelbase hurts at moderate and slow speeds. The rake is too steep, so it doesn't stay put in the lane - you have to drive the bike. The weight is too high, so if lose control, the bike will slam to the ground. Yes the 1200 needed improvements, but the changes made for the 1800 were too much. Yes, I do like it better than the 1200, but they did take the changes too far. One other thing, 5 speed would have been OK if they just changed the final drive ratio. I can't count the number of times I've rolled the throttle in first gear and spun the rear tire. Makes it very difficult to take off just a little bit fast in 1st gear.

Do a 100k review get riding 😳I b waiting ✌️

go in ware?

turn the radio up

Honda should build a full on TOURING bike, modern engine and tech in a pre 2018 body..

This bike 2018+ IS NOT a goldwing- It is a SKINNY TRANS ST1800 sport bike trying to identify as a goldwing.. This bike represents NOTHING of what a goldwing stands for- All you sport bike riders WILL love this bike!

18+ Riders put your bikes on center stand when not riding if your bike ticks on the right side.

I have to say starting in '18 a redesign of the engine with 4 valves per cylinder while tweaking the internals and redoing the gearbox maybe doing all this wasnt perfected yet and still in its experimental stage and things are going wrong whereas the prior Gen 5 '17 and under 1800 was already a bulletproof perfected engine. My motto is if it ain't broke don't fix it😮

Thanks for the video. I have a 22 non tour coming from a 2010 goldwing. Not sure why Ive been hearing that the new generation doesn't have the wind protection, as far as Im concerned its better. I have zero buffeting regardless of what I have the windsheild height set at, my 2010 had horrible buffeting. Ive driven in cold temps and can honestly say the 22 was much better for protection than my 2010. Anyways at this point I would never go back to the older generation, as I love this bike. Thanks for your honest opinion.

How bad is that, on a $32k bike in 2023 the GPS will only get you to the town but not the address..WTF!!!😅...

You are absolutely correct in expecting Honda or the dealership to adjust the valves at no cost to you. As a side note I am glad I watched this video because I too bought a new 2023 , new in the crate, 0 miles and almost immediately noticed a ticking from the right side cylinder bank. I can now assume that this ticking is normal and just the nature of this beast.

I do think that the older wings run quitter a bit and bulkier feel compare to the 6th gen. I own a 2020 DCT Tour and honestly, after riding it for 3 years now, I can't see myself riding anything else.
