Goldwing Emergency Saddlebag Entry and KeyCode Ignition Process 

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! My battery is dead on my 2021 GW. I can't get the left panel off because battery is dead. I searched everywhere and I found your video and you gave me the answers. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Your vid was one of the first things I did when the bike was new. And, I also put the key codes in my phone. Great minds think alike. 😉

Wish I had known that today. For whatever reason my Wing lost contact with the key fob while riding down the interstate..making my dash completely useless and shutting off the speedo. Not sure if they are related but it’s at the dealer now. However I did have my code on my key fob and wish I knew how to use that to restart the bike. Live and learn..thnx for the visual..better than the manual 😂

NOW YOU DID IT! Ahhhhhhhh! Everyone is going to be rushing out and buying a new Gold Wing! I was looking and I already found a luggage rack for the trunk. Now my travel storage worries are no more. And if I could lower my payments! Win Win! Thanks and I can't wait to see what you bought for the new girl. Ride Safe

Yes sir, I figured that out when I owned my last Goldwing, and I've figured it out with my Harley to, and it's nice to know this for sure, just in case the battery in the fob goes bad then just enter the code that you programed to the bike and then you really don't need the fob, good job brother, I'm sure it will help others out 💯✌️😎

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think it is a very good video. You were concise with the explanation. It doesn't seem like a hard or complex procedure. You did good man. And the lighting in you shop/garage seems to be fine or you compensated well. Picture looks good to me. Of course I'm not an expert, but neither is most of your audience. Kudos! Ride safely and have fun.

Congrats again brother and I’m a little concerned. Both you and Mike had a Road King, and I now have a Road King. You both had ultras and I have an ultra. Should I just go by the gold wing now?

Thanks for making the video. Lots of people don't bother to read up on the emergency feature, unless it's too late. My dealer had no idea how to work gps, along with saving channels to radio / SiriusXM.

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video I learned a lot… Thank you for explaining Honda‘s idiocy too 😎

great Video ya did a good job explaining HOW TO....... the phone storage for the codes is a great idea as well. as I always have my phone in my jacket pocket just is case I drive off a cliff some place lol I can hopefully dial 011 n get help and the chances of someone stealing my jacket off my back is slim to none.. and another idea for the codes is have them printed inside your helmet or sewn into your jack some place. I think they made that rear cover over the key hole was a safety thing as well.

Great video! I needed to see this. I have the same exact wing that you and Mike have. I don’t know if you like your seat or not, I don’t like it. I ended up getting the ultimate seat set. Seat, riders backrest and passenger backrest. The set works with factory controls and is way comfortable! I don’t even think about the seat when riding anymore. When I sat all the way back on the stock seat it would hurt my tailbone. This new seat, I sit all the way back and no problems. I definitely recommend it to everyone that can’t stand their stock seat.

Your learning and teaching. First I've seen this done. Great info. So many Just don't read the book. Thanks.

Very good video, explained and presented very professionally Moose, thank you.

Amigo, great video. Thanks for taking the time to explain the procedures very Deliberate once again thanks and be safe up there

That's about the neatest thing I've seen in some time! A bit more convoluted than the Harley method, but I don't even remember the code I set summer before last when you helped me set it up, lol

The phone contact idea is great, thanks.

RON McAllister has a way to pull that plastic access for emergency key... And good morning as well.

That was very interesting man. Always good to know such things.

Besides the FOB #, write down your key number also. I think the idea of the longer key (I think they call it the emergency key in the manual) is to keep it in your wallet or on a key ring in your pocket, in case you lose the FOB with the key in it. This way you have a way to unlock that cylinder. Yes, the saddlebags must be left open for this crazy procedure to work (I tried - doesn't work when they are closed). I just put the Gold Strike highway pegs on mine yesterday - highly recommended.

You just saved my bacon. Thanks!

Good stuff Moose and time well spent.

You read your number off when you started your bike, might want to edit that out. Ha ha! Be safe and keep the rubber side down

Honda accessories are not cheap , I am glad my SGS isn’t that complex but the gold wing is loaded , enjoy and ride safe

Thanks moose it's very helpful.

Hi Moose.... I have my dad's Goldwing and there is no key and I can't get a locksmith to even come help me! Any ideas on how to remove the unit to find the key code? Online directions? Thanks!

thank u mr 👍

Nice presentation. I mentioned you my video yesterday. Welcome aboard.

My 2022 Goldwing emergency codes didn't come with the bike when I purchased it from a private seller. I went to three different Honda dealers to see if I could purchase the two codes. Each dealer told me they couldn't be duplicated. I wrote Honda corporate who were helpful. They required a photo copy of the owners papers along with a copy of my drivers license. After a few days they sent me the codes that were assigned to the bike.

Thanks for the video.

I must have missed a step. how do you get the fuel button door open if the fob is dead? I did watch a video where a small neat hole can be drilled in the fuel button door to give access to the button release if the fob is dead. they drilled the hole which couldnt have been bigger than 5/16 through the plastic door. then they used a plastic button fastener to plug the hole..

It’s no surprise that a multi line Honda dealer doesn’t know Jack. Way too many products and the staff is either never around long enough or the dealership doesn’t sell enough Gold Wings. But it is still confounding after nearly 45 years why Honda corporate allows this unacceptable practice and then allocates a Gold Wing(s) to such unqualified dealers. These premium bikes aught only be sold through authorized L5 volume dealerships with a Corporate certified Sales and Service department. It’s unconscionable to sell a premium motorcycle, at $30k+ without sufficient knowledge. My dealership here in North Texas, DFW Honda, is a high volume L5 high yearly volume Gold Wing dealer. With over 25+ years this dealership knows with “unconscious competence” all about all generations of Honda Gold Wings. My 22 Ultra Blue DCT Airbag is my 3rd Gold Wing. The scary part about owning a Gold Wing always has been when you’re out touring and you are flat stuck having to rely on any of these unqualified dealerships for service. Luckily that hasn’t happened. Knock on wood. Thank you Lord. To Harley Davidsons credit. It’s dealership networks seems infinite. But that’s another video where we talk about the difference between the motorcycles. But dealership qualifications across the nation and around the world has to be part of that discussion. For sure. God helpful video Moose. Thank you kindly.

A set of plastic car panel tools would do the trick moose, love the bike, do you still go for the clutch!

Sorry that is Max McAllister

Moose, where do you live in Michigan? I live in Macomb Twp

How do you go about finding a code for the second key if it didn't have the tag attached to it?

Interesting info. Is that the stock windshield, as l noticed it is curved at the sides? Most of the windshields l have seen on the new Goldwings and the one that l demo rode, were straight along the sides. Oh, Thanks for the sub. Subbed back, :-). Safe Travels.

How did you open the side compartment to access the button?

Something a guy should practice at least once a year. My sales guy didn’t tell me anything about this process when I bought my new Wing, nothing. I almost threw away that tag with the codes on it.

Did our goldwings come with a factory tool kit? If so where located? Can't find one yet on my 2018.

I bet that helmet thing might slide through the D rings to lock it if you don’t have room in the tour pac. 😎😎

Hi . I lost the goldwing 2018 remote, I bought a new remote, and I tried the same way as you did, but in the end it does not work and makes an intermittent whistle sound. Can you tell me what to do?

RON McAllister at Traxion Engineering

Yes that is crrect

key fob battery last 18 months - spare fob which was never used lasted 18 months and 1 day

I'm such a dumbass. I never knew any of this! "Welcome to your bike--that you've had for like 9 months, dumbass!" :-E

I store my Harley code in phone just in case the fob goes dead 😎😎

Jesus have mercy.....correct
