I'm not positive about this, but I believe the power to that fan is controlled by a fuse. You might check the fuses and make sure they are intact. Also, check the wire where it attaches to the fan terminal. It may have come loose.

goldwings are renowned for having a clunky gearbox it may be a worn selector if so this is not an easy job at all and i would strongly suggest you put it in a workshop for the work to be done

you need to check your earths as you have a corroded earth somewhere and it could be anywhere on the bike or you have the wiring round the wrong way that operates the rear lights

hi i think you will find that a goldwing is air assisted forks

The only common problem [that dealers deny] is front end wobble at slow speeds. Different reports peg it at between 32 and 42 mph - or somewhat near that.

You'll find lots of solutions posted on line.

Loading front tire to 41 psi got rid of most of it for me.

Blown seals suggests you're using your wing for a trail bike or you have some real problems. There could have been an event which caused it once, but if you fixed it, shouldn't repeat.

start with a tranny flush and fluid change. but sounds like to me there are some wore parts hittin each other .

Is this a Honda product? If yes, check with the dealer. If after market, as I suspect, contact the manufacturer. What about the fresh air and beautiful sceneery? Will that not keep the wife alert? Let her drive, that will fix that sleeping business!!!

You hold the axle with a screwdriver through the hole in the axle (left) and apply the full torque to the axle bolt on the right (44 ftlb). Tighten the right pinch bolts on the right - throttle - axle bolt side to 16 ftlb.... Then tighten the left - clutch - shifter side to 16 ftlb.

This is the wing service manual procedure... i hope this helps FixYa!

sounds like weak fork springs go to progressive springs and do the fork seals at the same time and that should stop the wobble,also check your local bike shop to see if the wheel is out of balance

Earlier models has a recall. http://www.ridersrally.com/sb/sb13.pdf It is possible a dealer might still be able to fix it under a "good will warranty" or at least sell you an updated ECM to turn the fans on at lower speeds when the engine starts to get hot.http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/forum1/31399.html

33 1/2 FROM HANDLE BAR END TO END, BUT I WOULD ADD 2"
TO MAKE IT 35" TOTAL

Just check any transmit buttons, or switches first. If that is ok, then the problem is in the radio, and must be fixed by a qualified technition.
There is no simple fix for this im afraid. The radio needs to be removed, and serviced.
You could try and disconect your battery for about 5 mins, this should clear any computer error's, and reset things, this may fix your problem.

Sounds like a loose connection on the ribbon cable or dirty pin connections where the faceplate and main deck connect. A heated or loose solder joint on capacitor or I/C can also do this but I would take faceplate off and clean connections with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab first, then check for any loose solder joints or bent connections

check your brake light switches more than likely defective foot brake switch... cruise will not engage with power coming from brake switches
