Take the battery to any auto zone or similar store and have it tested first. If the battery is good and yur bike won't charge it then the charging system of your bike is the problem and will require service.

Right below the air box which is under the false gas tank.

Mine does the same thing. I put a new gel battery with high cold cranking amps from Advanced Auto Parts. Look to spend 100 bucks. Choke at full choke and it starts right up now. Gold Wings are cold natured. I own 2 and both are. But the battery took care of the cold starts.

The steering sensor is only to cancel them. Sounds like there is a loss of power between the fuse box and the switch on the handlebar. Open it up and check for power

I use Amsoil tranny fluid.

Get a manual or look at a friend's bike. There are a lot of them. Good luck.

Over fuelling possibly

Have you checked bulbs

Yes you can simply remove the whole security system, and replace with wireless technology

One of its float bowls on one of your carbs is overfilling due to the needle valve which should shut off when the fuel reaches a pre set level isn't doing so. Simple fix really.

Yes definetly sounds like something is drawing current doesn't it?Firstly disconnect your brake lamp switch and see if the current is running through that circuit first

Hi..it might be the banking sensor under the seat or the kickstand switch...I have heard either one can be touchy.

Sort of sounds like a Twilight Zone kind of problem doesn't it. I would have the battery checked for an internal dead short. This is something that happens on odd occasions and can happen even to a new battery. Yea, the little lights will work ( they do not draw much juice ), but the starter motor draws a lot of juice and a shorted battery just ain't got it. Also check the wiring harness connections. One loose connection can cause bunches of trouble.

this is hard to answer, but a few things to check if the motor is not seized up and your sure your battery is good, not just charged, if you have a bad cell that mean you it wont sin the motor over, 3 to 5 years is normal for a battery but i have seen new one have a cell that goes back in a few months when the plates break... if all said above is good, i say your starter is bad most likely the brushes or armature inside the case, they can be rebuilt, but better to just buy a new one there not that bad if you look around there are knock off that are half the price of a OEM starter

you must do the reversing in correct order : Engine running, transmission in neutral. Press Reverse button. Then press the starter button. The starter motor moves the bike in reverse.

your best bet is to down load a manual or go onto google and ask for pictures and maybe it will give you some ideas or even jog your memory they can only go on one way .

I Would check your breakers because most of them are on the same breaker. Dave Mazon

starter solinoid ..sounds likeits shot ..i have a gl1500 and use these 2 forums http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/or www.goldwingdocs.com

What meter cover? I am not aware of any meter covers on the DL1500 Goldwing.

my neutral switch is a hit and miss. I'm just curious if it could be the battery. I let the bike sit tonight for a couple hours as I took parts off and turned on the battery the green light came on and then faded away. So I don't have a battery tester so I put it on charge and the lights is nice and bright so I turned the bike off put everything back and see if it will start so I can get to work. why would this happen sometimes and not others. Battery is 1.5 years old Decka battery. I heard replacing the switch is a big job and not a guaranty. thanks for the help
