To change the oil in a 1981 Goldwing, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm but not hot. Remove the oil drain plug located at the bottom of the engine and let the old oil drain into a pan. Replace the drain plug, then remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench and install a new one, applying a bit of new oil to the gasket. Finally, refill the engine with the appropriate type and amount of oil through the oil filler cap, check the oil level with the dipstick, and start the engine to circulate the new oil.
