I recently sent my 1985 Gold Wing with 21,000 miles to a Honda certified shop for a tune-up. The bikehas alwaysrun great, but needed new tires and the front forks leaked. After sitting for the winter, I noticed the bike die once and a while at intersections and wanted the fuel filter checked. Once at the shop they claimed the fan motor was always on and I needed a new switch. They figured the bike dieing was bad gas and to not worry about it. Idrive the bike homeand notice the fan was not coming on and the temperature gauge would go 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up.I jiggle the ignition switch and the fan turns on. I decide to take a trip to check it out. It dies 40 miles away from home. The wiring harnesswas melted under the left cover.
Now the Shop tells me the starter switch must have been bad, but the fan switch is fine. The gauge is still 2/3 to 3/4 up and the fan comes on late and shuts down too soon. Added to this the neutral light comes onevery timeI push in the cluch to shift gears. What is my next step?
