Ok, this may sound like a real noob question, but I can't even find the plugs on my 93 GoldWing Aspencade 1500.

I don't know which plate to remove to get to where the plugs must be. Do I need to remove the whole front of the fairing? That seems a little excessive for a machine that will require routine maintenance like this.

I'm thinking Honda has an easy way to do it, and I would like to know what that is before I start ripping plastic off the bike.

Please help me figure this out.

Thank you for your time.

Instead of sending Stormqueller on a search hunt, why not give him a few hints on how to do the job.

Plug changing is basic Goldwing maintenance that should be discussed frequently. Lets hammer home the basics and run our bikes forever.

Ok, I got it now, folks. Thanx to all. (Except for Fritz the Cat, but then that's the kinda response one can expect from a cat. <grin>)

Now I just have to find a plug wrench that will fit in that tiny hole. It's always something, just like Rosanna Rosannadanna's father always used to say.

Thanx again.

It was.

In this case, as with most, pictures really help someone who has never done it before. Rudy's link has excellent pictures and text.

You should have a tool kit in your right (from sitting on the bike) sadle bag. It should have a spark plug wrench ( if the tool kit came with the bike) in there.

Do you by any chance work for Microsoft Tech Support? They usually give a100% correct but totally useless answer.:cheeky1::shock:

I have a 90 SE and my tool kit is in the LEFT bag, if you are facing forward?

Yuppers, my 91I was (and still is) in the left side, with the rubber hold down strap. It makes sense though, that it would be on the left side, because on the sidestand, the tools would be leaning down. After all, its kind of a ornamental couple of pieces anyways. They're Honda's, you dont have to work on them do you

? Save for the occasional piece of chrome...

Welcome aboard Storm.

The 'Bikers Workshop' part of the site has many tutorials for your GL1500. You will see the link in the menu on the right side of the forum. Here is one (carb synch) taht shows how to remove the lower panels for accessing the sparkers;

Yep, just like information from Microsoft. Accurate but useless.:cooldevil:
