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.
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.
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.
Should be just a little over 4 L. With the filter. With bike on the center stand, oil in, run the engine a few minutes, and with a flash lite look in the little window, at the same time shut the engine down and you will see the level very clearly as the oil settles.
it should be between two holes like engine oil level
It's around 3.2 liters, ( 3.4 U.S. quarts )With the bike on the center stand, engine running, flashlite in hand, looking in the site glass, have someone turn the engine off. You will then see the level of the oil as it settles.
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.
Should be a removable plug on the side of the transmission Fluid should be at this level
I too also have a Goldwing,and I was having that same problem. Believe it or not I used my car oil dip stick,to check my oil...it gave some indication how much oil was in there I have a 1980 Honda GL1100i "Interstate". The motor oil level is checked through a sight window in the right side of the case, a little bit forward of the rear brake pedal. There are two lines molded into the case beside the sight glass. These are your upper and lower level indicators. You want your level to be about midway between those marks. If you cannot see the oil level, you might have some oil "schmutz" on the inside of the window. You can clean this by turning the little screw in the middle of the sight glass, which turns a set of miniature wipers on the glass, cleaning it off. try putting the bike on the centerstand, starting the engine, let it idle. now look at the siteglass window for your oil level. should be halfway up the window with 3.7qts of oil.
theres a small reservior near the top right of engine bay and look at the level it should be at maximum
The filler cap is on the right side, lower part of the engine. There is no dip stick. Its a window that you look in, in the same area. On the center stand, look in the window with a flash lite to see the level. If the engine has enough oil in it, then with the engine running, as you look in the window, have someone shut the engine down. You will see the oil level off to be able to see the level.
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.
