I replaced mine today. 3 - 4 hour job for the normal person who takes a few breaks along the way. Save this task for a rainy day when you want to mess around in the garage and you'll be fine.

Excellent Video! Thumbs-up, but the title should be: "How to replace a 2001-2017 Honda Goldwing GL1800 Air Filter - Tutorial"
@Rezaroth4 жыл бұрын
Changing these things (air filter\sparks, etc) should be very easy in every vehicle. This is so poorly designed. Thank you for the effort in making this video my friend.
@twoweeledsoto60723 жыл бұрын
The air filter placement, is Honda's way of giving Goldwing owners the finger and getting a good laugh. This stupid design was no accident. Thanks for the video!

Another reason why engineers are considered idiots by a majority of mechanics. This could have been done so much better. But a 'smart' engineer decided he didn't want to make it easy.

I have visions of removing my new camping tent from its bag and never being able to put it back in quite the same after using it. Thanks for the video. I think I'll pass and let someone with experience tackle this one.

this procedure is only necessary once in a great while, and most of us enjoy working on our own stuff. does it take a long time? yep. is it worth the effort and satisfaction of doing it yourself? yep. you'll spend far more time farting around keeping a Hog on the road than you will a GW- guaranteed.

No way........It would be less hassle to just buy a new bike every year. Seriously Honda? It's so easy, only 3 simple steps: Step #1 - Disassemble entire bike. Step #2 - Replace air filter Step #3 - Re-assemble entire bike.

I was thinking about buying a 2008 Goldwing but after this video made me think twice… You completely put the top of the bike apart just to get to the filter , that is bad what do you guys say? I don’t know if I could do that myself I have to pay somebody to do it and probably expensive labor ?? Thank you guys

It’s a pain in the ass, no arguing about that, but it looks harder to do than it actually is. You just need a half-brain, time to do the job (2 to 3 hours), organizational skills and the ability to twist a few basic tools.

I am sure it has been said before there are changes between 2001 and 2017, so this video will be partially accurate for those years. 2018 and newer are completely different. They are different motorcycles. This would not apply at all to them.
