Honda GL 1500 Goldwing:- "Final Drive Oil Change" !

[@Goldwing1500rider]

Just done my shadow!! But I used gear oil to rise the system…. I don’t like mixing oil and gear oil…. ( many will not agree). It causes acidic reaction and eats the gears….. I’m not kidding here.. I’m heavy equipment mechanic, there’s 2 types of gear oils in trucks…. Mineral or all purpose…. If mixed those two together….. very acidic and eats those gears…. I’ve drained few those gear boxes….. dang!!!! Slow syrup metallic metal gears ozzing out and had to open fill cap so air get in…. After seeing that… I wouldn’t mix any oil regardless. Factory does tons of testing, chemistry of these oils, many companies spend millions of dollars every year for research.. it’s always wise stay with same oil as possible. Unlike my father in law says “oil is oil”!!! Apparently, I studied oil in college. I’ve seen many results. I have gear oil in my garage that’s 60 years old, heck thicker than today’s oil. Lol… believe what you like. It is great maintenance, I supply my shop for winter maintenance, preparing for spring!! DelBoy!!! Nothing personal here!! Sharing what people should be aware.. my Dad used put quart additional tranny oil to break in newly rebuilt engine, ( those were olde days) .

I did this yesterday. Super easy! I put a longer hose over the silencer and into the hole, so I didn't remove the silencer 😁. I filled one time, went for a 15 minute ride, then changed again. 😎

[@Goldwing1500rider]

Loved my Goldwing!! Bought mine from government court auction.. $1200.00!! Had it 1993,( 1990 GW 1500).. bought trailer and tent trailer for it later. Built a rack on tent trailer for bicycle on it… had lots head turners and pictures snapping going by.. I was popular on camp grounds, no problem getting invited for dinner for conversations!! Lol.. now I’m looking to put side car on it someday as I’m getting older. Maybe exchange my bicycle for wheelchair 🙃 if ever comes to that.. 😂

[@williamwallace1127]

Enjoyed the video Del, nicely done. Had a 1996 1500 many a year ago, beautiful bike, put 157+ miles on her before moving on to the 1800 series. Like you, changed the rear end/differential oil on a regular basis. However, I never had to remove the Shroud or muffler. I was able to easily remove both plugs, drain and refill the unit. Obviously removing the Shroud/muffler made the job a bit easier, but like many riders, didn’t have access to a MC lift, always lying on the floor. Enjoy your vids, very informative, please keep them coming. Oh, and learned/liked the part of cleaning out the unit prior to the inserting the new oil.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks for your kind words Sir, im glad you enjoyed it, you are right, you can just about reach in and get to the plugs, specially with a syringe to fill it again... but i make a point of taking my silencers off once a year (for this procedure if nothing else) and that means they stay easily removable and don't seize in place.. plus of course, i wanted visual access for the video so i could demonstrate it with a clear view too..!!

[@jamesweber4938]

@@Moonfleet41 I did the oil change in the final drive on the Goldwing 1800 a couple of days ago. I lay on the floor and used an oil can with a flexible tube and did not take the exhaust off.

How are you coping with the Wing an your Narrow road ways with so traffic?

@@timbarnett3898 Hi Tim.. we have motorways too obviously, 4 and 5 lane freeways between cities etc, its the majority of roads in rural areas that are narrow and tight, but of course we grow up on this and it's just normal to us, so no big shakes.. throwing the Goldwing round them is hilarious fun, you do need to focus though and master a bit of counter steering..! and as for who drives on the correct side of the road..? well the Romans left us that legacy, so it's been here for a thousand years....but what's more interesting is how it changed from left to right when America kicked the English out ! somebody must have made that conscious decision at some point right ? no cars then obviously, but horse drawn traffic still had to pass each other ! interesting debate, (if a little pointless maybe..lol)

Have to do this job on my old GL1100, its much easier to do as there is plenty of access. Like the flushing tip! On the GL1100 there is also a single grease nipple where the drive shaft joins the rear drive bevel casting. I always pump some fresh grease in there as I am waiting for the gear oil to drain.

For the first time in my life in the last 24 hours i now personally care about shaft drive bikes! My dad gave me his 2006 ST1300 last night with only 27,000 km on it for my upcoming 50th next year. He loves the bike but at 73 he needed something lighter so he bought a 2013 VFR1200 with only 7500 km on it (proud of him!) I was already looking at maintenance on these machines and I though t(correct me if i'm wrong please) that they take gear oil in the final drive?

[@Butterfly07949]

As I was watching Dell and you recommended the use of motor oil. I remember when you did in another video the use of motor oil in the cleaning of a bike chain and it's cleaning properties. Yes Del is quite right in using motor oil before he gets flamed because motor oil contains amongst other things detergents and these will clean a final drive a lot better than say paraffin as any residue left inside won't harm the very expensive final drive! Keep up the good work Dell and Penny you both have a great channel xx

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Mark, always good to hear from you sir, hope life is good.. ive always questioned solvent based flushing agents as there will always be a residue of the solvent left behind that will begin to degrade your new oil almost right away and could shorten it's service life... fresh clean oil does a good enough job of rinsing off any old left over gear oil and leaving it clean.. Have a Blessed week Marc, and keep in touch.

[@stevetaylor8698]

Of course, it is a tad harder to do when you are lying on the cold concrete floor. Oh for a lift like Delboy's. It is possible to do it with the exhaust pipe still on it can be a bugger to take off.

[@Moonfleet41]

You can do it on the floor using the main stand, but it's shaft drive cruiser bikes that can be a pain, no main stand, so you'll need some form of lift or prop stand..! (or get the missus to sit on the bike while you do it..!!! )

[@williamwallace1127]

Steve Taylor: yep, the procedure can be performed without removing the shroud and muffler and lying on the floor. A little tighter working area, but you can complete the task.

6:30 that's not how a torque wrench is designed to work. You must pull from the handle. That bolt may be incorrectly torqued by using a torque wrench in that way.

[@Moonfleet41]

I have to respectfully disagree Tom, it doesn't matter where you hold the wrench, as long as it's set correctly, once it clicks, you're done.

[@TomClark1995]

@@Moonfleet41 Hi Del, I am not an engineer but I have heard the statement I made repeated many times and my torque wrench manual even states it. It would make sense as torque is the result of multiplying the value of Force applied by the Distance from the point of application.

[@Moonfleet41]

Interesting debate Tom, personally, i can't see how the tool knows where your hand is mate.. if you set a torque wrench barely above it's minimum, (this was 12Nm, almost off the bottom of the scale on this tool), the tool at that setting clicks almost under it's own weight if it was horizontal) so i find that holding it close to the head when its such a light setting gives way more feel, you can control it far better... but the force on the fastener must surely still be the same no.?

[@garya3056]

@@georgestewart3658 The nuns taught me that was a sin.

[@TomClark1995]

@@Moonfleet41 Hi Del, my Norbar torque wrenches actually have a dot on the centre of the handle, the documentation states that this dot is the point at which the wrench is calibrated and having your hand either side of this dot will affect the amount of torque applied to the fastener. The click still happens regardless of where your hand is, just at a different torque value. So actuating the wrench from halfway down the handle as you did will certainly change the amount of Nm needed to click the mechanism. You may have it set to 12Nm but having you hand half way down the handle might mean it's actually clicking at 5Nm or 20Nm. Do some tests with your wrench and see how moving your hand affects the actual torque on the bolt. Just cause the wrench clicked, it doesn't mean it clicked at 12Nm.
