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.
To check the oil on a 1993 Honda Goldwing, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm but not hot. Locate the dipstick, which is typically found on the right side of the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be within the marked range; if it’s low, add the appropriate type of oil as specified in the owner’s manual.
The fork oil level for a 1980 Honda Goldwing is typically around 5.3 inches (135 mm) from the top of the fork tube when fully compressed. It's important to ensure the forks are fully compressed and the springs are removed when measuring. Always refer to the specific service manual for your model to confirm the correct specifications and any variations.
To check the transmission oil on a Honda Goldwing 1500, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically found near the rear of the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be within the designated marks on the dipstick; if it’s low, add the appropriate transmission oil as specified in the owner's manual.
To check the antifreeze level on a 1982 Goldwing GL 1100, first ensure the engine is cool for safety. Locate the coolant reservoir, which is typically on the right side of the bike. Open the cap and visually inspect the coolant level; it should be between the "full" and "low" marks. If necessary, add a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water to reach the appropriate level.
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.
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.
To add fork oil to a 1981 Honda Goldwing, first, ensure the bike is on a level surface and securely supported. Remove the front wheel and brake components, then take off the fork caps and drain any old oil. Using a fork oil level gauge or measuring device, pour the recommended type and amount of fork oil into each fork leg, typically around 10-12 ounces depending on the model. Finally, reassemble the fork components, ensuring everything is tightened properly before reinstalling the front wheel.
it should be between two holes like engine oil level
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.
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.
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.
