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
My owners manual for my 1984 Honda GoldWing says to use SAE 10W-40 Oil.
I use SAE 10-40 takes about 3.2 liters. You have a dip stick also.
same as the engine oil
10w40 is good. Check out Motul.
yes, check out Steve Saunders Goldwing Facts.com
I recomend 20/50 You may use 20W50 in hot climates, but I have been using 10W40 which is the recommened oil by Honda, for many years with out a problem in my 1200. I do use the Honda brand and have never had any problems with the clutch or stator.
4.8 us quarts, but check the dipstick when your done, attached to the oil filler cap
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.
Well, if it is a '84, 1200, then there is a dipstick, with a filler cap beside it. Right side, foot brake side. If it is not an '84, and is an '83, 1100, then there is a small window to look in.
I use Motul 10w40. Check with your local dealer.
On the right side there is a chcek glass it is hard to see
Yes. 10w40 is good. If you don't know how to check the oil leave me a msg. on my board.
