1985 Goldwing LTD.

Lesson learned hard way. Bought bike on ebay. Drove 1018 miles after sending
non refundable $500 deposit. Let the fun begin. :bash:

The front brake caliper has been taken apart cleaned and greased. Still sticks.

Open line and let fluid out at master cylinder and it releases. Is it the master
cylinder?

Start engine in garage and run for your life. The fumes burn your eyes very badly
and it is not healthy to breath. Opened Air valve, looks corroded. clean with no
improvement in performance.

Drive to work and back and use half a tank of gas. 22 mile round trip.

Check voltage at battery. Guage is very close to meter reading.:jumper:

Found the website yesterday. Love it. Thank you in advance

The Ltd is injected. The meter shows 14.2 volts, if i remember corectly.

Went to start it and it blew 30 amp fuse by the battery. More corectly it looks to have just broke.

Thank you for the welcome and help.

Paul.

It seems that I did not get the send button pushed before I went on to
other things. Will try again.:baffled:

Thank you all for the welcome and help.

Have changed the timing belt's and tensioners, the thermostat, and fan relay,
it was jumped across with wire. The fuse holder had a spare. must be original
in both cases. Have run injector cleaner through it one time.

The computer on the bike put the consumption at seven mpg or so as I was
riding. The volt meter on the dash shows 14.1 and the meter 13.9.
Next to the battery is a bracket for 2 connectors but no connectors.
Will look into that later.

The bike seems to have started out in Florida and made it's way to Tennessee
before coming to Texas. Would like to keep it a long while.

Rode hard and put away wet and dirty is a polite way to say it.
Hey, it's paid for, and what little I have rode it was GREAT. :clapper: And the wife
will not even sit on the FZ6 now.

Paul.

Thank You again. :waving:

I have a Clymers. Tested the air temp sensor, it did read out of
range on low end. New air filter. No mouse nest. Will move on
to ign. coils, and plug wires. If they are bad may as well change all at once.

And did I say how much I like this site? :clapper:

Paul.

Thank you.

I took the false fuel tank off today and found a connector with two wires, I think
they were both yellow, that have been very hot. They were on the left side if you
are sitting on the bike. I could not get it unplugged, and not sure what it is for.
Was about to look in manual to see if i can find it. That area is tight and has
more wire than it should. Seem's to go to metal box that has small fin's, possibly
to help cool it.

May just remove body work and make it a point to inspect and clean all of the
connectors. Need a good project anyway. But I do not know if I can wait that
long to ride it. :baffled: :12ltd:
