There is no dip stick on these models. So, with the bike on the center stand, start the engine, look down around the foot brake area, you will see a little window with a screw in the center, that's the place. Use a flashlite and have someone turn off the engine, you will see the oil settle. The level must be in between the lines.

Where should the oil level be in a Honda GL1000 Goldwing?

There is no dipstick on this bike. Instead, there is a sightglass on the right side of the crankcase. You may have to use a flashlight to see the oil level through the sightglass. With the bike on the center stand, the oil level should be around the middle of the sight glass "window". Some people have made their own dipsticks to use in these bikes.


Honda Goldwing 1985 has a clunk starting in first gear?

This is a 1200. Did you check oil level in final drive? Differential. Could be in need of adjustment also. If the clutch does not slip, and you can shift ok up and down, might want to look elsewhere. Also might want to check the u-joint on the drive shaft.


How do you check coolant level on 1984 Honda goldwing 1200?

When you open the access door on the tank, remove the plastic tray that holds your items, the coolant over flow tank is on the right. Check the level, it is clearly marked for high and low level. If you find it is low, add the proper Honda coolant, other coolants might damage the water pump, to the full level. If you are having a problem with high temp. and the system is really low, then remove the false tank, 4 bolts I believe, and you will find the real rad. cap to the lower right corner. You can fill from there with a long funnel. Good luck.

How to check oil level on GL1200 Goldwing?

The 1200 has a dip stick near the the oil fil cap. Check it while the bike is on the center stand. After unscrewing the dipstick and wiping it off you check the oil level without screwing the dipstick back in. Simply put the dipstick in the hole, remove and check. After verifying the proper oil level, then screw the dipstick back into the engine block

How do you check the transmission oil on a Honda goldwing 1200?

Sorry, there is no real transmission oil. The clutch, transmission, stator, all operate with the engine oil. Therefor, it is best to use the oil from the dealer, and change it and the filter at 5,000 kms, or 3,000 miles.


How do you check the automatic transmission fluid level on a Honda ex?

Most Hondas, check cold with the yellow dipstick (on level ground). Should be in between or at the top of the 2 marks. Should not be brown. Should be dark pink. Honda Passports are different. They have no dipstick. They are checked by temperature with a Honda only tester.

Check the fluid level. If you have to add some make sure you use only genuine Honda ATF DW-1. If the fluid level is ok, then you need to seek professional help.
