HELLO,

THIS IS MY FIRST GOLDWING AND MY FIRST OIL CHANGE. I REMOVED THE PLUG THAT IS AT THE FRONT LEFT OF THE MOTOR. ABOUT HALF CUP + - COME OUT WHEN I REMOVED THIS PLUG.WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THIS? DID I MESS ANYTHING UP? DO I NEED TO REPLACE THAT OIL AND IF SO,HOW?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Just put the plug back in and forget about it Ted. You might need a wrap of plumbers tape on the threads of the plug to be sure it doesn't leak.

Welcome to the forum Ted

Take a picture of that plug as not sure which you are referring to.

Here is the How to on the 1500. How to's found on lower right of main forum pages, check it out.

The bolt in question is straight thread with a crush washer for sealing so plumbers/Teflon tape will not help.

TDSTILES, any relation to a John Stiles that used to race flat track (east of Fayetteville, can't remember the name of the place) way back when?

You won't need plumbers tape on the bolt, unless you lost the crush washer in the old oil.
