I like to dump the oil on a new engine after a few hundred miles. My 2023 DCT Touring has about 900 miles so I changed it, plus the DCT filter.
It was kind of a pain in the butt! I have a lift table. Those of you that change it on the floor, you have my sympathy!
The oil plugs were about impossible to find until I borrowed my wife's makeup mirror. That made it way easier. Lots of oil came out each hole. The filter was tight! I ordered the filter with the cup wrench and it was worth it. I...

Hello!
Im proud owner of GL 2012 (blue), bought it few years ago.
I was lurking forum for some time while searching info about updates, but the information noise is quite big + most of the links are not working anymore. So I decided to ask you
I had conversation with local Honda dealer, but they support only EU versions from 2018. My GL originally was from Canada, and as far as I remember it has firmware 2.5. From what I know latest update is 2.9 (but cannot find any link to it), also I...

I think it is my 1 year old Yausa battery failing early even though I had it on a tender all winter.
Went for a ride today. Stopped at the bank. Came out, and got a (clunk clunk clunk) no start. Powered off. Tried again (clunk clunk clunk) no start. Powered off. Tried again, immediately started with no clunks. MIL lamp came on.
Rode home.
Is there a way to load test the battery at home?
I plan to check for codes this weekend but I highly expect it is the battery. But we will see ..read more

I ride a 2021 Goldwing. I recently replaced the OEM tires with Dunlop Elite 4 tires. The Elite 4s seem to ride and corner better than the OEM tires, but i noticed something I wasn’t expecting.
When my wife and I rode two up at 70 mph on the interstate we usually got around 43 mpg with the OEM tires mounted. Now with the Elite 4s we are getting about 38-39 mpg doing the same ride.
Is it typical the the bike’s mpg will decrease when using Elite 4 tires?
Thanks ..read more
