Absolutely premium vid Luc , man you asked all the right questions, interesting Luc how you notice the fine details. Hey Luc keep up the great commentary and digging deep into the procedures most of the viewers like me would have not picked up on. Luc I like this vid. and hope you do more of this in the future :) 👍👍
Luc I think if we get every channel that follows Paul & Kathy were to attach a link on their channel for this I bet we can get everyone watching . Nobody else is going to get a chance at that one. Lemme know .
Good to see Luc hanging out with you guys in the shop. He seems pretty interested and impressed by some of the things you do Paul. I think most people are impressed by your talents, I know I am. I learn a lot just by watching. You make things seem so simple even though they are not. I have tackled projects that I thought were beyond my skills because I might have seen you do something similar. So far I am happy with the results I have gotten. If you don't try you will never accomplish anything. Thank you Kathy and Paul for all the great videos. Keep them coming and I will definitely keep watching. Take care.
+wyatt earp Thanks. Luc and I go back a few years. He's a cool guy. Been a friend of the family a long time. We could talk about something as simple as a rock all day lol. Don't let him fool you though. He's a smart guy.
Another entertaining and instructional video ... Harley's [Hardly Driveable] and Honda's .... you can put them together for a while .... but they will always separate! ... Honda Lover since 1967 ... the fellow who poured the floor in the barn the other day asked me "Do you ALWAYS buy Honda? ... my responce "absolutely ... if possible!" ... HS55 snowblower lasted 23 years! the motor is in a box the rest is completing the rust function! ... Loud horns work too ! "Bad Boy" air horn attached to the VT750 ... it gets other vehicles attention at 141db! ! My Horror Fright tire changer did the job on the Kubota front tires but it was a ball buster! ... but your changer is definitely nicer! the Carlisle replacement tires are very had rubber ... happy the Kubota is up and running! As always I walk away from your videos learning something new!... You ...Kathy and now Luc make a good trio ... keep em' coming!
+jim dandy I think I could have went another season on these tires but seeing I'm in the mood to go through the bike and looking at the safety aspect I ruled to replace them. Keep safe my friend. Thanks for watching.
love your videos Paul . you remind me so much of my x father in law from Nova Scotia. he had your personality and demeaner. Also your wife also mimics my x mother in law in her personality as well. They are great people. thanks Buzz
Well that's pretty cool to know there's at least two other people out there as bad as we are lol. So nice to know your part of our UA-cam family and we appreciate you dropping by to watch and comment. Keep well.
If I had a tire machine for all the times, I had to change bike tires as a kid/ teen !! ..I might still have a few good fingers that don't look like they went through a wood chipper !!....LOL Nice work Paul !!! It sure brings back a lot of good memories, working on bikes. Really enjoyed the video and the laughs, take care and play safe. All is well !!
+frank roden Same here buddy. I sill have the tire irons as well. You'll never change these tires with the irons and not damage the rims though. Like you I too enjoy wrenching the bikes. Thanks for watching. Hope all is well on your end.
That's to easy Paul. Bike wheels should be harder to take off. :) Honestly, I didn't know it would be that easy on any bike. Great video with the three of you. Makes the work take longer but more fun when you run into a problem. I'd forgotten about the white dot on the tire, so again I learned something today. Thank you Paul and Kathy and tell Luc thanks too. Take care and God Bless! Levi~~
Now if they could make getting to the air cleaning as easy to get off. That's pretty slick you can get the rear off that easy. It's nice to have the right tools. Love the shop videos Paul.
+wyattoneable Yes that would be a great feature. If i had a choice I'd rather have the tire easy to get off because It requires replacing more often. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Paul; I live an hour away from a dealer and don't have a tire changer. So I went to the Goldwing dealer who does three wheeler conversions and bought a complete rear wheel. The whole rear drive is removed and not used. I can change the wheel on my own and when I have time take wheel to get changed....Hal
Great video Paul and Kathy. My guess is you are Newfoundlanders but with your guest having the last name Levesque I'm thinking maybe Capers. Nonetheless quite entertaining and informative to watch. Since my local shop wants 800 bucks to install new Elite 4s I'm gonna do it myself or at least pull the tires myself. Wha do you think of Shinco tires for the Wing. They seem to have good reviews and are half the price. Also do you have a video for replacing steering head bearings. Thanks.
. Paul you are right about those E3's being tough. I have a old manual tire changer and have done 5 or 6 on my 97' SE. I do the same as you, leave the tires in the sun to help with getting them off/on. My front tires used to "cup" a lot. I started using Dyna Beads for balancing and I get a lot more km's out of them now. I replaced the rear last year and it was a E3 MT and has hardly worn, from what I can see, after 15,000 km. .
+greathodgy22 I'm getting between 12.000 - 15.000kms out of the tires which is pretty good considering I pull a trailer a good bit too. I'm only changing the tires now because the bike is in for a total refit and look over so it's a good time to do it. Yes the E3's are tough. Man those gl1500 were and still are great bikes.
good video. Thank you for the tip to check for cracks around the center stand/frame area. One little thing. The tire lube you used, someone made the comment to use dishwashing soap. you can use dishwashing soap, but only if it is LYE free. The only dishwashing soap that I know that does not have LYE in it is dawn.. you know, the brand that they showed commercials of them washing the wildlife that got caught in an oil slick from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. That was dawn dishwashing liquid. all other dishwashing liquid’s, I do not know how much or if any LYE they have in them. But they usually do. The problem with that is, LYE attacks aluminum. It is like putting acid on it. that liquid gets trapped between the tire and the rim, and it does not get rinsed away. And develops slow leaks over time because the aluminum gets corroded away. This was very common with the 90s general motors wheels and Toyota wheels do you have slow leaks, probably because the tire mounting lube used was dishwashing soap with LYE in it. People that washed their cars with this dishwashing soap with LYE in it, you could see the wheels turning black from the acid/corrosive reaction the aluminum wheels had with dishwashing liquid.. I bought myself a gallon of rubber tire mounting lube at NAPA auto parts. I believe it was around $15 for that gallon.. I appreciate your video and other videos like this, because I bought my very first gold wing GL 1800. I’ve been riding since the 60s, and I have about 700,000 miles of street riding/mostly commuting. I’ve done all my own maintenance, everything from repairing transmissions , replacing crankshaft, boring cylinders, steering head bearings..I have the same lift table as the one you have in this video, did you cut that section out to allow the rear tire to drop?
Good video. You are certainly safety conscious. Perhaps I take a bit of a shortcut by not removing the left-hand caliber. Once I have the right hand caliber off and when you wiggle the tire a couple of times they’ve always just rolled out and by wiggling the tire a few time while holding a fork loosens a brake pads in the caliper to make reinstallation easier. But I like your style.
Paul; I have a lift like your's except mine does not have that tire drop opening. What is the size of the opening as I want to cut one in my lift....Hal
Do you think a motorcycle lift that will raise the bike approximately 16 inches would be enough to get the rear tire off without removing the fender section on an ‘06 Goldwing?
My next motorcycle will probably be a used 2012 or newer Goldwing so I'm checking out what is involved in doing regular maintenance on these bikes and your videos are excellent! While I was watching these videos I thought to myself, that sounds like a familiar accent, either Newfoundland or Cape Breton were my first guesses and wouldn't you know it, you're in Newfoundland. Cool! Greetings from Moncton, NB! I look forward to checking out more of your videos, Thanks for all of that super helpful info and done in such a fun and laid back way.
Sounds like you have a good plan. I have two Wings. The 2003 I bought new back then and I picked up a standard GL1100 wing from 1980 that I restored and love to ride. You were right, I’m a Newfie lol. On our channel we like to keep it real. The way you see us is the with the camera on or off. Keep well over there. Great hearing from you. Ride safe.
@@7863348 It's a lovely accent BTW, I just thought to myself dang! That's got to be in Newfoundland. Some of the friendliest people on the planet. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Have yourselves a safe riding season friend! Charles Arsenault
Thanks Charles. Lol. When I first moved here 35 years ago everyone thought I was French. I was raised by a French guy and worked for a company that was mostly from Quebec. After I arrived on the island I forgot most of my French and picked up the Newfie accent lol. I know a few friends that are Arsenault’s from Eel River Crossing N.B. Great people. If you need any Wing info just ask. Be careful out there. Ride safe my friend. flic.kr/p/GpV4dX flic.kr/p/ES4TES
Great video, nice seeing Luc there, Luc you did a great job, you asked good questions and have good eye for the information details, Paul & Kathy does make the videos fun, and learn something too. Thanks Paul & Kathy for sharing, another great video. Stay warm my friends and stay safe. Oh Paul, I have a question for ya, I thought that I seen the forks up on forky, I seen them up before in the shop, I thought you just had them up to save room, are they up in this video, and why? Sorry just wondering, not being the safety police here...LOL just was wondering my friend.. Thanks guys... I see you have the 5740 ready to go to it...LOL The crumb looks great on the Goldwing too...
+Cary Hubbard Luc is a good guy. Pleasure to have around the shop. Yes when Forky is in the shop the forks are left up to make more room. I did the same thing this time outside. Those forks drop so slow a turtle could get out of the way. Keep well.
Amazing, you do have the know-how. Years of experience. There is nothing to compare. I wish I lived near you I would feel absolutely confidante leaving my 2010 Goldwing with you. Question: In 2010 would there have already been changes regarding the "recall" of that portion that cracked or in danger of cracking? Thank you for the video.
+Idaho Rider Thank you very much. To answer your question is no one really knows. I haven't heard of any cracks from 2005 onward. That being said I haven't been following it either. I didn't see any difference in frame design since so maybe they have a better Technique Of welding those areas but I will say that when I'm servicing any GL1800 I make sure that those effected areas are Thoroughly checked. I would advise everyone to follow the same habbit. Ride safe!
My honest opinion. OK. You have an expensive motorcycle. It carries your life and maybe a a passenger's life on it and people try and save a dollar on installing a tire that was never designed for a motorcycle. Would you board a plane If you knew that the maintenance people were installing replacement parts that were never intended for flight? I think not.
Paul, I think I blushed at 15.22 into the video, I can't even say or write it out loud at this point. Six year in the US Army I think I may have heard something similar, probably Luke's fault.
+NfldBiker Just another funny moment in the shop, if Kathy had not been behind the camera I wouldn't of thought twice about it. Yes I saw your reaction as well, you just wanted to move on.
+Rick Anderson My Wing IS American steel. It was built in Marysville, Ohio by Americans and at 1120 lbs there's more steel in it than what's in a Harley (tongue stuck out) lol
My front tire is leaking air only when I ride. The bike can sit for days and the tire not loose a pound but go for a spin and the bloody thing will go down. duh.
+Walrus60 Try twisting the valve stem. I suspect that's where the problem is. Use a spray bottle with some dish washing soap in it and water and while moving the valve stem by hand spray the soap on it. ;) Remember the song "Tiny bubbles" ?
+Paul Short Thanks Paul I have a gut feeling you are spot on. I will assault the bloody thing in the morning. Anyway the wheel has to come off and taken to a tire repair mob because I don't have one of those "Fancy Nancy" tire removing machines.grin!

Do you think a motorcycle lift that will raise the bike approximately 16 inches would be enough to get the rear tire off without removing the fender section on an ‘06 Goldwing?
It would be close but I never tried it at that height. You could lay the bike on its side and remove the rear wheel. It’s easy to do.
