I just bought my first new Gold Wing two days ago. I'm soaking up as much information as I can about various maintenance tasks. This video is excellent! My fellow wingnuts have told me that changing the air filter is definitely a bear of a job but not insurmountable. Maybe not for the faint of heart, but not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. Thank you so much!!

[@7863348]

Congratulations on your new bike. Fantastic machines. I’m happy to hear this video has helped you out. You’ll be fine doing it. Many have told me that they got theirs done by watching our video. You can do it. Ride safe.

Paul & Kathy ... Your video was my "GUIDING LIGHT" for the last 2 days !!! Bit the bullet and did the dreaded "Gold Wing air filter change" !! 3 hours to disassemble (carefully) last night, 2 hours to reassemble the next morning. Actually, wasn't as bad as I thought .. Not difficult, WAS time consuming and there were LOTS of parts to deal with! Just took my time and all was good! After reassembly, she fired up perfectly, everything WORKED, and there were no leftover parts !!

[@7863348]

Lester that’s great. Happy to hear you got it done and that it worked out for you. They are great bikes. Keep well and ride safe.

[@fixitwithyai5265]

Extremely complicated to change Filter ..... Easily explained ... Hats off..

[@7863348]

That’s true but the Goldwing is an awesome motorcycle. Thanks for watching. Keep well

[@miner999r]

Greetings. I just completed the air filtre change on my 2005 wing. Thanks to your video it was not that big of a deal just time consuming as I went slowly. Just about had it buttoned up when I realized I forgot the air intake horns, so take off the deck again. Probably don't need the horns but put it together properly. Lo and behold everything worked! The worst part was getting bolts in to hold the seat. Now have to work up the courage to take apart the cruise control switch which keeps jamming. Your videos are very much appreciated.

Did you get it done Jim?

[@Jim12291958]

@@7863348 Yes I did, thanks. I takes some time but I'd done it before. I used your method of using a cardboard box, pizza box, to organize the bolts and pieces as I took them off. That works great. I used the K & N air filter which fits well. Only issue is that it's not as firm as the original one so I had to make sure it was seated properly before reinstalling the cover. Thanks again.

[@daryllong3257]

Hi Paul;Really enjoying your videos! I have a 2008 Goldwing with about 30K miles on it. Just had it in to have the air filter, front forks seals replaced and the recall done for the rear brakes. After watching the videos I'm sure glad I had the shop do it because even though I work as a mechanic I'm not at all set up at home to take on some of these tasks. Makes you understand a little more why they charge so much to do this.....I would too! Keep up the good work!!!Daryl

[@wingandhog]

Paul, the more I watch this video and a few like it, the less intimidating it seems to be. It looks like a number of small steps to be accomplished in a certain order. I am going to take the 08 into the shop for the 24k service and inspection but after that and going forward, I will be doing all the regular maintenance on my own. The fluids look super simple. Way easier than my Harley and that is also easy enough

[@7863348]

That’s great. None of it is terribly bad but there’s always a sequence to doing anything. ABS Wings like mine need a little extra care with the breaking system so if yours has ABS then my absolute advice would be to pick up a factory service manual. It will pay for itself on the first repair. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

[@wingandhog]

@@7863348 … No ABS on my bike. But the standard brakes are spot on

[@7863348]

Once you ride a bike with ABS brakes you’ll never go back to the old school. Believe me. It’s true. They are so good in fact all Canadian Wings have them as standard equipment on every Wing.

[@Vader1957]

I had a 2008 Goldwing same color. Kept it for 2 years, my wife stopped riding and I traded it for my Harley. I never had a problem with the Goldwing and only changed the oil and filter. After watching this, I am not sad that it's gone before I needed to change the air filter. Quite the job. If you have never been on a GW it is hard to understand that they are not like any other bike out there. It rides and handles better than anything in it's class, if it has a class. I do more short rides now and for that I like the rawness of the HD. But if I ever go long distances again, it will be on a GW.

[@7863348]

+Vader1957 Man I've had over 40 bikes in my life. Had a lot of British bikes, metric bikes and a few US built bikes and the one I've always went back to was Honda but Honda was my first and I worked for Honda as a tech for three years so that's why the loyalty. No one builds the perfect anything my friend.

[@relerfordable]

The effort of engineering and design to make this machine is astonishing. I have the same year bike as yours, but I have heated seats and its gold colored. Thanx for the vids.

So true. A lot of engineering gone into it. Nice bikes though. Ride safe.

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good video I have watched this one before but it just came up again so I watched again man that is a big job I like Honda but why they couldn't have made it easier to change the air filter that's why a lot of them don't get changed when I got my wing didn't get much history with the bike i knew it needed tires I got the tires took it to the guy that does my work great guy very fussy and neat like someone else I watch on KZbin no names mentioned lol had all the fluids changed air filter he found a little oil leak changed the valve cover gaskets and a hair line crack in one of the covers said he could fix it but he knew that I was like and got a new one that was a lot of work on the bike but I knew that everything was good and that's the I like it my god buddy this was a long story you have a great day and great job on the bike

[@7863348]

Tom the filter seems like it’s a lot of work to change and it is for the first time but after than it’s not bad. When I did this video I did a total “go through” the bike. The bike now only has 42k on it and it’s as good as the day I bought it new in 2003. I like to keep the bikes in the best possible shape do to the precious cargo I have on with me. It’s great you have a good guy to help you look after yours. Ride safe bud.

[@frankroden8233]

Paul ..There's no doubt that Honda makes a good engine, I have had no real trouble with the ones I had. The only time I had engine trouble, was on a bike that was abused or little maintenance. Also I can't express enough to do a pre - trip inspection on your bike before you ride every time !!! This has saved my skin many times eg : nail in tires, lose bolts, worn parts etc. Always check before you ride !!.......Play safe and have fun ....all is well !! Wish you safe riding !!

[@7863348]

+frank roden Great advice my friend and advice I support 100%.

[@kc5hgv]

Purchased my Goldwing used from a fella that did not ride it much. It only had 11,000 miles on it. I did the filter change after reviewing a video on how to do it. Wow man that is the only maintenance that I hate to do. I put a K&N filter to extend the changing schedule but now after putting 25,000 miles on it I got to look again and swap it.

[@spkuse]

I do not own a Wing, but I have changed air filters in other bikes. Amazing how much has to be removed just for the air filter. I did enjoy the vid. The more you know, the better!

[@7863348]

Well it's really a Honda Accord without the top lol and there's a lot of technology stuffed in there. I enjoy working on the wing although they really don't need to be worked on very often.

[@spkuse]

Well, kudos for taking the time to make these videos. There are many here that may never comment on it, but a huge thank you for all that you do.

[@jakeschisler7525]

That was one heck of a time consuming project that had to be done. Much cheaper for you to do than having it done. What about a K&M filter or don't you like them or maybe it doesn't matter since it's not a two minute job. Great job, great video, Paul.

[@7863348]

+Jake Schisler I'm not a believer in K&M filters. They state higher HP and I don't believe it. No matter what's in the bike for a filter it still needs to be serviced so it's just as well to toss it when it's time to do it again. Thanks for watching.

+PAUL GOLDWING Hey I'm amazed myself that it went back together lol. People don't understand the why Wing owners are so loyal to their bikes and that's because they haven hit the open road on one.

[@bryanwalker7031]

Sadly sold the bike before moving out the wet coast. Couldn't afford the government insurance they wanted for the bike. $2400/year was outrageous. Only had 20,000km on it. My truck insurance is horrible as well, but they must think bikers are suicidal. Bad as it is, it's worse on the mainland. Just an example of what could happen on the Rock if you vote the wrong way provincially.

[@7863348]

+Bryan Walker Omg. That's awful. It would shut everything down here if the insurance went up like that. Sorry to hear you don't ride now. I'd really miss it if I couldn't ride.

This job needs a little time with a shop manual. The first time I did it on my 04 it took me about 6 hours. The dealers charge on average 250 plus. The more you do it the better you get and if you can do her under 2 hours you got it licked. A good shot of screech might also help. Hope you and your wife are still doing Wing videos.

[@ManInTheBigHat]

That's crazy! Why wouldn't they position the standard maintenance stuff in a more practical location? Do you have to take the engine out to change the oil?

[@Jodyrides]

I bought a 13 K miles 2002GL 1800 from the original owner in 2019..Thats 18 years old.He had never changed the air filter.. When I saw how complex it seems to get at the air cleaner on a GL 1800, I thought it was nuts also. But as long as you keep each bolts/screw In the exact order you removed them, I did it by using a half cardboard box and labeling each screw as I took it out and placing it in holes i put in the cardboard box.. it was actually not that bad. You have to look at it like this:It’s not one big job that you need to have six hands to do. It’s about 30 simple little jobs that you do one at a time... take out one screw, poke a hole in the cardboard box, put the screw in the hole, go to another screw, poke a hole in the cardboard box, put the screw in the hole.,, I would suggest you watch the video I put on KZbin in titled, Goldwing made mouseproof.. because, when I removed the lid to replace the air filter, I found a mouse nest inside the air cleaner housing..it’s not the first time I found mice living inside air cleaners.. take some pictures/videos along the way you can reference in case..It really is not that tough of a job, and you will be more familiar with your machine when you’re done

+Motorbiker Miles (motorbikermiles) Although I'm doing other mods and tasks not mentioned in the video I figure It's a three hour job for the air filter. Even in a busy bike shop I'd be worried about scratch's and what ever else they can do. Thanks for watching.

[@grayman999]

That is a major task I've never seen anything like it great video 👍🇬🇧

[@7863348]

+Graham Calvert It's not too bad. Looks worst than it is. Thanks for watching.

[@Whitewinger05]

Whatever you get paid to do that- it ain't near enough!!!! Great job!!!

[@7863348]

+David Traywick I didn't get paid. It's out bike lol. It's not to bad to do. Had worst. Thanks!

[@robertkavich7426]

WOW , "Some disassembly required" !!!! Wonder how much the Dealer gets to perform that little service . I could see a NON TECH person getting into some serious trouble on that one , LOL ! As my NON TECH nephew says , "It all in the HANDS Uncle Bob " . The next best thing is a DIGITAL CAMERA , helps us OP's figure out where all the bits and pieces go !!! LOL , BTW , our winter has been UNSEASONABLY WARM , broke a 116 year record for no snow , supposed to be in the 60's by saturday . I got the Plows and Blowers ready to go , go figure , o-well guess it makes up for last year ! stay safe and WARM you guys , bob k

[@7863348]

+Robert Kavich Yes Bob it's a Title bit of trouble changing out an air filter but it's not as bad as it looks we had snow then it melted but it will be back again. Glad your having some warmer weather. You deserve it my friend. You'll get your snow. At least your ready. Keep well my friend. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

Amazing Video, Great job on the video editing and God Bless you and Cathy as well. Cheers EH!!

[@dennyf01]

T'anks for a right helpful video, b'y!

[@JackTRyan]

He started at 9:15 and got it out about 11:30...2+ hours just to get to the filter. And he knows what he's doing. The GL1800 has the "Dealership Shop Permanent Employment" design, I take it.

[@7863348]

Im sorry. I don't understand what your talking about. This video? I never took 2+ hours to take the filter off!

[@JackTRyan]

@@7863348 Looked like your shop clock was at 9:15 when you started, then about 11:30 you've got it all apart and the dirty filter out when you take a drink of soda or whatever. Guess I missed something in your edit. How long DID it take to get it all apart to the point of pulling out the dirty AF? i was also sarcastically referring to how complicated this process seems, encouraging folks like me to just take it to the dealer. And you were experienced; it would take me half a day. No offense intended; good video. Thanks.

[@elbamarthacaballero2234]

That is a great video... thank you very much... From El Paso Tx.

[@mrbluenun]

Hi, Thanks for the upload. What a pain in the arse!

[@carlcurtice7914]

A comment and a question. First, this video saved me almost $200 because I replaced my filter myself with K&N instead of having the dealer do it. The question: Where did you get you GPS hood? I have my Gamin Nuvi on a RAM mount, but can't find a hood. Any help would be appreciated. Great video; thanks.

[@russ592001]

holly geez,magine what that job would cost at a dealer.Anyway another great video,very informative

[@7863348]

+russell mcknight I'd say one could possibly faint at a repair bill at a dealership on a repair like this.

Thank you. Ride safe, stay well 👍

Ya know Paul, you just convinced me to purchase a 2008 GW 1800 that I've been eye balling. Thank you.

[@7863348]

Congrats on your new ride. Your going to have a great time on that bike. Ride safe.

[@superpela1]

Hi there, I just bought a 2005 goldwing and I was watching your video to replace the air filter, very informative thanks a lot. One question, what brand are the lower air deflectors? By the radiator? Mine doesn't have it and I am planning to buy them. Thanks again.

[@7863348]

I bought the bike new in 2003. I honestly don’t remember the manufacturer. Glad you liked the video.

[@cechuck1]

Thanks so much! I learned very much. I plan on watching all your Goldwing videos

[@angelcarbsllo4233]

Very good !!! Thanks

[@67taylor94]

I used to think that someday I would like to have a Goldwing. Thanks to you Paul I will pass now!! I tried looking through all your videos and did not see any videos of just you talking about your shop. What size is your shop not including gasoline alley? How high are your ceilings? Really enjoy your videos and all the lessons!

[@7863348]

+Edward Cole The Honda GoldWing is arguably the best touring bike in the world. If this one died tomorrow I'd have another one in a week. The work you see me doing is the first work I've done on it in four years. A couple of tires, a few seals and an air filter. It's worth that in my opinion. I'd rather not talk about the shop online. That's why you haven't seen me discuss it in any of the videos. Happy to hear you enjoyed the videos.

[@plisken8799]

Great work

[@Gold1800Wing]

Paul and Kathy,I liked the video, you are really great, I changed bike in summer for a 2006, but still a red, I like red, and I know you to do, Merry Christmas from Kjell from Norway,

[@7863348]

+Gold1800Wing Hi Kjell. Congratulations on the new Wing. Nice bike. You know red is the fastest colour ;). Merry Christmas to you and your family. Ride safe my friend.

[@James.984haid]

Hello. I have just bought a 2002 Gl 1800. Anything special i should look out for apart from the frame welds? The bike got a new frame as a recal. The real brake master cylinder was also replaced as a part of a recal.

[@7863348]

Keep an eye out for the front fork seal. Disable the anti dive on the fork and the seals will last forever. Google the info on that. Use a battery tender at all times when the bike is parked for extended times. That’s what ‘I do. Great bikes.

[@user-hs9wd5ox2b]

Hi John, great video changing filter. Ive got a problem getting the front right hand pocket compartment open. Turning the key nothing happens & I want to know is there a couple of ways to resolve this issue so I can open the compartment.

Hey Paul, thank you for putting together the video regarding air filter replacement made things pretty easy. After putting everything back together I have a ticking noise that is coming a cross the speakers. Any thoughts where I may have went wrong?

Your a Brave man Paul

[@7863348]

+Rejean Robichaud I disagree. I think I'm just a little insane lol.

[@stephennoiles3344]

Hi, you all. This is about the 3rd time watching this video. All went well with the air filter change. However, when I reinstalled everything again, I noticed my reception on FM was very poor. Before I tear it apart again, would you have any idea what could be the issue? I have cleaned the both aerials and realize there must be a plug that runs up to the back of the controls that I would have taken apart for radio panel. Could this be possibly not making a proper connection? Keep up the great work on your channel.

great video paul thanks for that its give me an idea how to do my f6b 2013.
