1983 Honda GL 1100 Innerstate Gold Wing Questions & Answers
How do I remove the
Center
stand the bike,loosen the rear axel nut, take out the bolt, knock out
the spacer , lift the caliper assembly out of the way and hang it by a wire, grab the wheel, and slide it sideways away
from the final drive. The wheel should slide right off the spline of the
final drive and roll out the back under the fender. If the wheel wont
slide past the final drive let the air out of the tire. Be sure to coat
the spline of the final drive with moly60 paste from your local Honda dealer when reassembling
My 1100 goldwing leaks oil when sitting on the side stand
Hi Richard:
Some wise old dude (or a smart alec) once told me that you can't fix what you can't find.
With that concept in mind, if I had your bike I would be wiping it down with solvent and getting it as clean as it could be, especially in the are where the leak is.
It should then be a matter of leaving it parked for a few hours on the side stand, and finding a comfortable way to lie next to (and almost under) the area where the leak is. A flashlight and mirror may help, but the idea is to determine exactly where the leak is coming from.
Possibles????
- O-ring on shift shaft.
- Oil filter seal
- crank case gasket
- cylinder base gasket.
Once you find it, you get to figure out how to fix it.
Hope this helps.

Change thermostat on 1983 honda goldwing 1100
All i did was take the panels off under the fairing that cover the horns. Take the cover off the
water pump that is attached to the hose going into the radiator. Remove the front bolts to
the radiator so that it is able to swing back and forth from the bottom. At this point it seems like the radiator should come out but something is blocking it from the top. Once you get the radiator loose enough to swing a lil bit, use an 8mm wrench (the longer the better) and remove the bolts to the thermostat housing. Work the housing free while you have the bottom part of the radiator pulled outward. You should now be able to remove the thermostat and replace with your new one.
