Liquid cooling
In the article it says this was the second Japanese bike to have liquid cooling with the CX-500 being the other one. The Honda website (http://powersports.honda.com/the_story/heritage/heritage_milestone.asp?Decade=1970&TargetUrl=Milestone/Milestone_Model_0096.asp&PrevPageTitle=TimeLine) claims it was "a first for a mass-produced motorcycle" which makes sense as the CX wasn't introduced until '78. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Duq 42 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
The Suzuki GT 750 produced from 1971 to 1977 was a Japanese bike with liquid cooling. That predates the Honda GL 1000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_GT750 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sixpac440 (talk • contribs) 13:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Article Name
The model name isn't "Goldwing", it's "Gold Wing", and AFAIK always has been. (ref: http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/touring_sport_touring/model.asp?ModelName=Gold+Wing+Premium+Audio&ModelYear=2008&ModelId=GL18P8)
The article should be named correctly, and a redirect be made from "Goldwing", rather than the reverse as it is currently. I'm not experienced enough as a Wiki editor to be comfortable doing that, but could someone who is please make the correction? 192.85.47.12 (talk) 14:29, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Eight years later and this hasn't been corrected? Cpflieger (talk) 14:35, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

gl.1500 se. tapit noise.any one help me with my 1998 1500 se. when I start the ike all is fine untill the engine warms up then I get a tapping noise from the left side head, I asked a dealer and was told that there may e air in the hydrolic tappit system and that it would run out. I have rode 500 miles and it is getting worse, what is the proplem? will I do damage if I ride the ike the 800 miles home. 88.121.129.45 (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC) The root of your problem is inadequate lubrication. The tappets use engine oil under moderate pressure to 'pump up'. The idea is that the valve clearance is always zero, irrespective of engine temp, because the tappet adjusts itself by squirting out oil it doesn't need. This leads to more accurate timing compared to solid lifters and zero maintenance as there is no need to adjust the valves 'Sticky' tappets not only make the bike sound like a diesel car, but also allow increased wear on the valve train and affect the valve timing as well. The main reason the tappets 'stick' is that carbon and other detritus obstruct the tiny oil passages. This means that the oil cannot move in or out through the holes - In severe cases, all the flushes in the world won't clear up the holes, the tappets have to come out, be dismantled and cleaned properly, however about 80% of the time a flush with a product such as "Wynns Hydraulic Tappet" will suffice Dr Nom (talk) 08:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC) |
Supporting Information on the 2003 & 2004 model year Frame Recall
Here is the 2003-2004 Frame Recall notice from Honda http://www.ridersrally.com/sb/sb18.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.210.27.33 (talk) 20:43, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Did this recall get any attention in third-party media sources? If not, then it probably isn't encyclopedic. The NHSTA keeps track of every recall and it isn't the function of an encyclopedia to duplicate that role. --Dbratland (talk) 22:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Pruning
Having just completed a number of edits to prune and clarify the early paragraphs, I note that some of the later paragraphs refer to $ prices. I'm pretty sure WP isn't keen on this; so perhaps the price details should be excised? Arrivisto (talk) 14:47, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
You are correct I started to remove this. 72bikers (talk) 17:30, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
