WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU SEAFOAM A GOLD WING GL1800 AND POSSIBLY OTHER MOTORCYCLES

In this video I explain how I put seafoam in my Gold Wing and what I learned from doing it. YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR OIL AFTER DOING IT. If I never looked at my oil I would still be riding it with that oil in it. and that stuff was gritty feeling between my fingers. Music: BigCarTheft

I fought the dreaded hesitation for 2 years on my 2008 Gl1800. I tried several bottles of seafoam, it seemed to help but did not cure it. I ran across an obscure post on a forum about the hesitation, he claimed to fix it. There was no other discussion about the fix he had explained. It was time for an air filter so while I had the shelter off I did what he recommended, it cured it. If you look closely down the bore of your throttle body where the butterfly plate seats on the sides of the bore at idle, you will see a faint dirty mark from the throttle plate. Take a toothbrush soaked with seafoam and lightly scrub that mark off the bore and the plate clean. It fixed it completely. I've got about 8K on it since then and still running perfect. Mine was so bad it was difficult to do any slow speed maneuvers in a stone parking lot without slipping the clutch drastically. Next time you do an air filter, check it out. You must look closely to see it, at first I didn't, then I got a light and I could see a dirt mark.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Well thank you. That is great info to have and will check into it. It has seemed to stop so far. However if it comes back I will do this the way it is explained. Thanks for watching and your informational comment. Stay safe my friend.

[@taknmybeatings7036]

That just seems almost unbelievable does it not? I'm not doubting you, I just find it hard to believe that simply cleaning a tiny bit of a deposit on the throttle body bore would remedy a low speed stumble. That's wild.

[@davidhayhurst5576]

I appreciate what you told us about the sea foam. I just bought a 1998 1500 with 18,000 and right away I changed the oil. I then noticed I had a hesitation and knew it was from sitting so long. Also, I owned three 1800's and they all had that pan under the motor and its to keep rocks from ponding the lower part of the motor.

[@curtisbarrow7650]

In to addition road debris protection some of the Wings have fore and aft ridges under there that can act as wings in a severe crosswind, leading to bad handling. The belly pan blocks those cross winds. Or so I read before I got mine! 1995 GL1500, Mobile1, once a season ( even for 10-12,000 miles. But it is almost all high miles, and very little in town. )

I prefer vavoline just couldn't find it when I went to get it. I did order some off line and will be here next week. And I think I'm still gonna switch over. Can't hurt anything to change it again. I prefer vavoline. And I hear it works great in the 1800 with a wet clutch. Thanks for letting me know the pans being aftermarket. Very much appreciated.

[@tonyfisher4113]

Conventional oil disapates heat better while synthetic superior slickness reduces friction. I use Honda synthetic blend. My engine runs cool and oil change intervals once every season is clean. The pan protects the motor from road debris definitely leave it on. Yes many bikes don't have that protection. Great video seafoam is a great product and can be added to oil right before oil change. Good call on dumping the oil right after treatment.

Great info on the oil. I have heard about the sea foam treatment but nothing about changing the oil after adding sea foam to the fuel.

Yeah if your bike hasn't had seafoam before I would definitely change the oil after a good treatment. It does clean alot of carbon out of the motor. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one that does Seafoam this way! I've never had a problem adding it to the tank, especially if I'm going to let it sit for a while in the winter. I also change my synthetic oil every 5k miles whether it needs it or not.

I used Shell Rottella T4 Conventional 15w40 in my Yamaha yx600. 14 bucks for 4 quarts. They have T6 which is the same weight but fully synthetic. Little more in price but lower than buying "motorcycle oil". its also got a lot of stuff to keep low miles motors running longer and keeping them clean. Same with older motors with zink and such.

Ditto. Shell Rotella for my 38-year-old pristine ‘84 GL1200. But only the T6 FULL SYNTHETIC. Synthetic only in all my vehicles. Syn is much superior to organic in every way. Longer lasting with superior lube qualities. Where organic oil will scald at high temps and lose its viscosity, synthetic has a MUCH higher scald temp retaining its viscosity much longer than organics can. It’s nearly burn proof!

I had the same problem on my 2012… that slow speed hesitation… my fix was to get a G2 throttle tamer… the plastic oem throttle tube from Honda is crap… the G2 smoothed that hesitation right out… so no sea foam was needed 😊also what helped was to get the wide clutch lever from Show Chrome… better control at slow speeds using the friction zone 👍

[@MarkMccullough-pz8gf]

I’m only asking because maybe I’m not getting what you’re saying, but adding anything into your fuel tank should not result in that getting into your engine oil, if it did then surely your fuel would always leak into your oil?? And if so then surely your oil could leak into your combustion chamber and you’d be burning smoke the whole time your engine is running ?? Maybe I’m 100% wring but that would be my understanding ?

[@Dustydirt47]

I was thinking the same thing you are correct

[@davidpeters5362]

I agree, I don't understand how adding Sea Foam to the fuel system would have anything to do with oil in the crankcase.

[@pauldejohn8710]

It's called blow bye. When combustion blows past the rings to the crank case. This is one of the reasons you have a crank case vent to allow the pressure in the case to escape. It's always happening in every engine. Some engine's have more than others.

[@bubblehead7680]

I just did a seafoam in both the gas and the engine oil. Drove it about 180 miles and changed the oil this weekend. I have yet to see what driving is like as I took off my wheels to get new tires put on and now have to replace the brake pads. The oil was only because I don't know exactly what the previous owner did. I know he was a sheriff and evidently did a lot of off duty work so maybe a lot of slow maneuvering, so I just wanted to make sure the clutch plates were clean. The oil was pretty dang dirty.

[@soujrnr]

I swear by SeaFoam. After I bought my other bike (Suzuki Boulevard C90T 1500cc), I ran SeaFoam through it and my mileage shot up significantly. I got over 50 MPG after running SeaFoam through it. It didn't stay that high, but still stayed in the mid-40 for miles per gallon. I'm not going to complain about that at all.

[@MrZipperhead16]

My 1500 had been sitting a couple of years before I got it and stumbled at low throttle plus the gas was nasty. Tossed the old gas and filled it with 93 and a whole bottle of Seafoam. By half a tank, no more stumble. Oil was who knows how old so fresh oil and filter along with 4 oz. of Seafoam. After 300 miles it was filthy so it got changed with Mobile 1 again. About 500 miles now and it's getting dark again. Seafoam loosens the crud and a good oil flushes it out of passages and crevices. It ain't cheap but oil is cheaper than steel.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

It's cheaper then finding a mechanic to figure out why the stumble. Alot of people run seafoam but never check how bad the oil is after. Glad it help your stumble. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@chrisboling2852]

The dealer told me if you’re going from the regular mineral oil that is started out with an all gold wings, OEM oil and you go to synthetic you are likely to develop oil leaks because of the molecular size of the mineral oil is larger than the synthetic oil and therefore it will penetrate those all the gaskets and stuff and eventually cause oil leaks. So I stayed with the OEM Honda oil. Have you on the bike since it was new and used synthetic always? I just bought this 2005 and it only had 27,000 miles and it is always been serviced by the dealer so it always had that OEM oil.

[@michaelbean9404]

Personally, I've never experienced that. I've owned Goldwings from 1200's through 1800's and put synthetic in them after I got them. I've also had several winter projects that were 1500's and several 1800's that the previous owners stated they all ran dino oil in them. I've never had a problem with them leaking oil and have used Amsoil, Mobile 1 and Rotella T6 (my current choice and favorite) in 5w40 and 15w40.

Well from what I was told by a honda dealer mechanic was to use more because it cleans more. I needed a deeper clean due to the hesitation and from what the oil looked like being as dirty as it was after a thousand miles it worked. And of course the performance was much better with no hesitation. My neighbor did the same thing with his gold wing 1500 and he ran it till the gas light was on and he dumped a whole bottle in the tank. It smoked like hell for about 15 min then he filled the tank with gas when the gas light came back on. His has never ran better. That was 30thousand miles ago. So just depends on what you need it for and what could be wrong. Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@larrychambers4407]

Pay Attention People. DO NOT PUT SYNTHETIC OIL IN A WING !!! Here's why,. The transmission and engine share oil. The slicker synthetic oil is BAD for the friction surfaces on the clutch discs. The discs will slip as they mate or come together under load. This causes more wear and heat than necessary. Thus shorter life for your clutch. Don't take my word for it. READ your manual. See what HONDA RECOMMENDS.

[@IDYLBERRY]

From a 2001-2005 Service Manual Recommended Engine Oil Pro Honda GN4 or HP4 (without molybdenum additives) 4-stroke oil or equivalent motor oil API service classification: SG or higher JASO T 903 standard: MA Viscosity: SAE 10W-40 The clutch slippage could be caused by mistakenly using oil with molybdenum additives. I haven't been using Honda synthetic blend oil for the last 80k miles. Have used some other full synthetic brands without issue but I've stayed with the full synthetic Mobile1 Racing 4T as shifting was smoother.

[@bernhards.8529]

Your summary says it all: "See what HONDA RECOMMENDS." Look for the viscosity, look for the JASO standard, look for the API class. If these fit the oil is fine regardless whether mineral based, semi synthetic or full synthetic. As the Goldwing revs low there is no need for the high performance full synthetic oils, but from a performance point of view they outperform the mineral based oils, but the Goldwing will not get to that limit. Changing the oil regularly is much more important than the type of oil.

[@MrNedsaabdickerson]

How do you cure the idle lope?

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Depends on what's causing it. Could be a air issue with gas cap, could be a vac line, or could be you just need to clean the throttle body with some carb cleaner. That's under the air filter. When it closes to an idle it could have some carbon deposits built up around it causing the unsteady idle.

He runs seafoam every year through his gas like I did too mine one time. He now has 193000 miles on it and it runs perfect. so if you think it creates wear I would say you are sadly mistaken. It's a 31 year old bike. And had a compression test done in 2019 and passed. But this is all personal preference. Do it or don't, your choice.

That oil is tar, The sea foams will clean everything but it sure causes the oil to get hot to turn so thick, I run B 12 in my GW and my oil stays new, The slides get sticky and not let them move as smooth till I put in B 12, about a glass full per tank should do the trick. Would double cheek with Honda on New bikes before you use it in Your tank and how munch
