    I ride a 2023 XSR900 often with a passenger in the Southern Cali twisties. This is my second set of Km1s, absolutely no problem from edge to edge, rear will last about 5000 miles with moderate canyon carving while the fronts only 3000. Pressure wise, I run 30/30 solo, and 32/36 with passenger. Excellent tires, more than what I can do with the bike.

    Had a pair (160-60 & 120-70 17’s) on my GSX750F with absolutely no issues whatsoever, mostly quick road use on twistie A roads, going to put a pair on my Bandit 12 in the next few days, wish me luck… 😂 On a serious note, probably one of the best budget tyres I’ve ever tested and more than a match for the Metzeler Z6’s they replaced… Some tyres I just wouldn’t recommend full stop, these in my opinion/experience are definitely worth a shout… Just cos it’s got X, Y or Z emblazoned on the side of it it doesn’t automatically mean it’s the best… 🙂

    I've got a 76 gl 1000 in my garage that my dad left me when he passed away 2 years ago come Jan 18th. as a kid, I went everywhere with my dad if he was taking the bike out. its metallic red and naked. My dad bought it 2 years old in England, and brought it over to Canada in 1980. Very good memories on this bike. its in pieces atm. My dad had started rebuilding it but never got the chance to finish it. maybe one day when funds permit, Ill be able to see this thing ridable again. Crazy fact that not a lot of people know: when the gl 1000 was released, it was one of the fastest accelerating motorcycles in the world. Made perfect sense why my dad bought it. He had to have the baddest bike out of all his buddies! lol

    I met a guy at the gas station with a 1980 Goldwing with a matching sidecar. It even had Honda badges on it, though he said it made by a company here in the states. It was the coolest thing. I look for first and second gen, GL1000 and GL1100’s sometimes. The newer versions have so many appealing features but the ‘78-‘80 models look so good.

      Take a look at the manual page 13-14 it states to go from 5-4-3-2-1 to turn the bolt counter clockwise it then has a warning saying not to turn the bolt in the “ opposite direction OF THE ABOVE PROCEDURES” meaning you must follow the counterclockwise progression. It’s a bit confusing but you shouldn’t go past 5 back to 1.

    I personally just love all the aspects of the Wing. I enjoy working on them because I can do my own work and I like to see if there are areas needing attention or just cleaning up. The weight is great, considering that it's a tourer machine, and the size of 1st gen's (flat 4's) is nice due to not being super huge to maneuver. The maintenance is critical but not excessive, and it will pay off after rolling the odometer over twice. It isn't a crotch rocket, but there are things, everyday Joes, can do to help it out a bit. Their price isn't overwhelming, only modest, which opens up opportunity to upgrade if desired.
