Changing the timing belts on my GL1000 Goldwing

changing the timing belts on my GL1000 Goldwing.

Thanks for the video, after watching made me realize how easy it was to do myself.

[@antonyhoch]

Hey Maurice, thanks heaps for doing this video. It was extremely helpful. A friend and I did a tag team on my 76 GL1000 yesterday. It was great to be able to follow your video step by step to get a nd end up with a great result. I was also horrified to discover someone had previously failed to reinstall the plates that go in behind the tensioners, so I fabricated some out of a piece of 2mm polycarbonate, Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make the video.

[@zosxavius]

Thank you so much. I was just about to do this on a 77 I bought and now I see that it looks like it needs a new set of head gaskets. This is super useful.

[@bugman-ir8cw]

Just finished mine today.....thanks so much for this video. I did hit a snag. My offset wrench wouldn't fit in the back of the stator so instead; I pulled the plugs and used the Kickstart to turn the motor over. Worked great.

[@metalkraven]

Thanks for the video. I recently purchased a 78 GL-1000 with 16,000 miles, and it's likely on the original belts. Your video gave me (a wankel rotary guy) everything I needed to get the job done on this unfamiliar motorbike. Cheers!

[@SuccessShared]

Absolutely superb video - and nice Ltd GL1000! Looking at getting one of these myself and this will probably be one of my first jobs!

[@fredcasio]

Excellent video, I am rebuilding an LTD at present, been 4 years so far so am looking forward to riding it. This will be my 4th LTD all Australian delivered. I have had 15 or more Goldwings over the years, mostly with sidecars on the non LTD's. Magic old bikes.

[@EpicTrekker]

Used your method for my '77. GL1000 and it worked great. Thanks for the vid!

[@BuilditRideit]

Lovely music again👌👌👌

[@gregberry3524]

Ha ha, wish mine was done in 8mins 38sec. I made that nifty tool too - job done. Cheers for the great video.

[@teamhuber]

Thanks for the video. This made it easy. Showing you can rest the right side while working on the left etc. Great job and thank you!

[@jjkkjj66]

Thanks for the great video. I used this for right hand side. Had to take my cam out to replace a valve spring and seal. 79 gl1000

Excellent video. Thank you. I'm getting ready to do my '82 Interstate GL1100. Looks amazingly similar. I'll keep you posted to outcome. Mind telling me the musical artist? Love that too - made me laugh.

Hi Maurice Is great to see videos of this bike, I have one since 15 years and here in mexico is hard to find parts for this bike, I dont use it too much because im afraid one day break some thing and i cant get it but at least one a week I turn it on the engine and press the breakes etc etc etc Thanks for share your video, if you come to merida mexico you have a bro.

[@cHUCHo458]

Fernando Hernandez Bolio Te tengo buenas noticias mi amigo, aca en USA la disponibilidad de partes para la Gold Wing desde 1975 hasta 1984 es inmensa, super bajos precios, consigues lo que tu quieras, es increible lo bajos que son los precios para estas motos, yo sonsigo los mios por medio de Ebay o Craigslist, dale una miradita a lo que venden ahi y veras las cantidades de partes disponibles, escibeme si gustas a mi Facebook bajo Roberto Rodriguez, buena suerte amigo! :-)

[@lars-erikandersson7022]

Thx Very good instruction will follow it on my GL 1979 during winter maintenance ! Seems not neccessary to disamble half of the bike to do this work as in some instructions on Honda sides!

[@pushpanathantharumalingam699]

excellent 👍

[@jhossepinzon8887]

[@gfunk1888]

THANK YOU!!!

[@edgardomatos6923]

Hello , great video. Looking to do my 1986 honda goldwing , 1200A, aspencade. Water pump is a gasket t Ring , you mention to replace that ring ? Just gathering my tools and waiting on parts to come in . But didnt get the ring , but ill order it today .

[@SuccessShared]

Be interested to know what sort of bike stand you use for this job please?

[@ACoustaDC]

Why didn't Honda use a chain on these bikes. Did you check the shop price for doing that type of work, I bet it would be more than the value of the bike. If you are going to require a belt at least use a non interference engine.

[@mauricegardiner6910]

do you mean timing chain ? noise maybe? i don't know.... do you mean pay a mechanic to change the belts ? what on earth for ? you see how easy it is ... a belt as opposed to a chain on an interference engine ? dunno mate. write an angry email to Honda.

[@ACoustaDC]

@@mauricegardiner6910 Easy is subjective but yeah, if you are gonna have a belt at least have a non interference engine. Great work though. At least honda made the timing marks very clear and I like you idea of spinning it around slow before you button it back up.

[@1mrmcawesome]

Any torque specs for those or are they just "tight"?

[@unclewiddy]

awesome thanks

[@ppsmovies]

So, on partzilla it shows 4 different belts. Which ones do you use??? I have a 79 that is sptting fuel out of the left side and still getting spark...looks like a belt jumped a tooth or two.

[@contrivational7470]

hi mate, got a 1982 honda acty van, has halfd a goldwing in it basically, so for these motors do i need to remove the valve assembly before i can remove the head and replace head gasket?

[@angrygnome4779]

Is it the same for the 1100?

[@karimmazkour4839]

Hi Maurice excuse me for my poor english Firstable thanks for sharing your knowlege This vidéo really help me But i m looking for this song of ted koops And it s impossible for me to find it Can you please show me a link for this song and this artist I just love this song and i don t know why See you in France yiu will be welcome

[@mauricegardiner6910]

hello Karim. ted koops was an independent singer song writer in a small town on the east coast of Tasmania back in the 90's ( i'm not making this up ) i only ever had the one cd of his. sorry. ps i am a big fan of Wasis Diop. a frenchman from Senegal i believe..

[@abrahamgalloway5163]

did you remove the plugs or does the engine turn over that easy without removal?

[@mauricegardiner6910]

pretty easy to turn with plugs in , of course much easier with them out. with plugs out , be certain the engine does not turn off the timing marks. just go carefully and all will be good. M.

[@JulioBaeza25]

hello greetings from mexico, sorry where I can get the time band for a 1978 goldwing

[@alanromandia30]

Yo la pedí en estados unidos, en 17 dlls cada una

[@magnum_p.sky.2658]

How long did this take from removing the radiator to completion?

[@mauricegardiner6910]

37 minutes.

[@cronaldoutd]

What’s the name of this song?!

[@drewtripp1579]

Hello brother I just got a 1974 honda goldwing gl1000 do you have any suggestions it has not been tagged since1999 my face book is drew tripp

[@68404]

Horrible music. Had to turn the sound off. Would have much preferred to hear your gentle Australian accent throughout instead

[@mauricegardiner6910]

Haha. My accent isn't gentle... can't all agree on music that's for sure, but hope you got something out of the video... cheers. M.

[@linusb212]

Sheesh people complain about anything.

[@BuilditRideit]

You have a poor taste in music, upgrade it, the music in this video is lit.
