How to use the onboard compressor to air up your tires on a GL1500 

My 92 SE came with one. It's long enough to air the tires on my trailer while it's connected to the hitch. Very useful

THANKS for this video my friend. It explained what I needed to know. Just bought a 2000 GL 1500 SE and there are lots of things to learn. NOW , 1 less. Ride safe Stay safe From Alberta Canada👍🙂

Greetings, As always another fantastic detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos

Great Cliff love it keep up the good demos, you have taught me and my husband a lot about owning our wing we have only just got it 1500 GL 1993 Thank you Paul & Anna (Spain)

Thanks for that Cliff

Thank tou for this video Randy in Cleveland Ohio

Thanks Cliff

Milwaukee has a small 12 volt battery powered air compressor. love your idea

really apreciate these videos. Especially when sometimes working on this bike can seem overwhelming. I didnt even know the onboard compressor was for that. Tested it out on my 95 and wow, worked great!

Your videos are covered just about every single aspect of every component on the bike. However one video that really would work great for me in particular would be a video on what type of screws and bolts go on the bike and where. Like every single component on the bike that you take off and put on and then highlight what screws and nuts and fasteners go on it. One of your videos you highlighted the two screws that hold the side fairing vent deflector pieces I would have never known that if it hadn'tI would have never known that if it hadn't been for your video. Every time I watch one of your videos I go back to my table of fasteners and relabel stuff.in my particular situation is the small detail stuff like which screws go where that is the biggest hurdle in my project of putting all these parts back together and making a motorcycle out of them

Great vid hope to see any riders up at wing ding AKA SHRIMPMAN LOOK FOR ME WERE ALSO HAVEING RALLY IN OCT HOPE TO SEEE ALL

You know everything about this bike. My air compressor works, but only for the suspension, not for the tire inflator. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thank-you

You are not abnormal for that broham. Most of us , no matter what we already have would like to have more hose. LOL I learned something here actually, I have never fired up my air compressor without the bike running. I wonder how many people in all this time of goldwings on the road have ever fixed their ride on the side of the road then realized they drained their battery to far down to start her back up. LOL I have 75k on a fairly new to me 99 I have not got to run it far yet though because it's cold as can be up here still but I am making her pretty for spring time. :0) oh yeah and dancing w/ her around the neighborhood blaring lynard Skynard just for fun. LMAO

Not quite right. You need to have the key in the P position then press the Air Outlet button. That way the air doesn't go to the shock at all. Holding P.Check and Increase sends air to the shocks. There are electric valves that should keep the high tire pressure air from going to the shocks. That is if all the valves are still working.

Real sweet bike. Much nicer than 2018

Clifford, thanks for all the videos you have made. They have help a lot being a new owner. I have a 93 aspy. I do have a question. The previous owner put regular shocks on my trike. When i press the button to put pressure into shocks it does nothing obviously... having said that if the hoses to shocks are left undone is it still possible to air up tires. I have tried to get compressor to turn on like you did in video but i have no air coming out. I don't hear compressor either. I tried in acc and while running engine.

thanks for the vid, though you kind of missed which buttons to press to get the compressor going. I know how but you might have skipped through it a bit. Thanks

I just finished restoring a 1991 Goldwing GL1500 SE with the use of your videos, thanks! What do you recommend as a starting point for air pressure in the rear shock when riding: Rider only with gear? Rider + passenger with gear? Also, what tire pressure do you run front and rear? Thanks again for the great videos

Nice video and great info . Thanks 👍

Enjoy watching your videos. Very informative.i got a 98 1500 se. I love this bike.

Like watching your videos ,i have a 750cc and some day i to will have a goldwing and will know how to work on it, haha thanks for the videos David in Cypress tx

Hey cliff do one on all the knobs for the radio and what they are for - and a question what are all those holes on your below your ignition switch for about 6 of them ? thanks we enjoy your videos !

Hi Clifford on one of your later videos your compressor had quit working did you do a video on repairing it?

Word to the wise, make sure when you take your tires to be changed at a non dealer shop they use the original valve stems or it will make the compressor hose useless!!! Found out the hard way!!

Clifford. Do you know how to replace the rubber on the driver foot pegs on a 1997 1500cc honda goldwing

I have an 86 GL 1200. the last dream I have. John Lennon couldn't take me an inch further. its got some issues as age hits us all eventually. Ive been on a bike since 9 years old first was the honda 50. I dont want to lose this bike. when I was 10 my mom dated a guy had the same one and I was aghast with impression. I dont know what killed the goldwing. I have many years of sport bike under my belt. (Im not a hotshot) I feel the bike is to big for me at 5'9" 160 lbs and almost 50. I like looking at it, I've been failing to come to an agreement with self and bike as to what I should do.

Looking for help with replacing the clutch hose on a '95 GL1500, how much needs to be taken off the bike to do it, does the slave cylinder need to be removed?

This blows my mind. Im not an expert but im pretty sure an Ultra Classic doesn't have a compressor

Cliff, I'm a new subscriber and I'm looking to possibly purchase a 1984 Goldwing 1200. (48K miles) The guy says it has an air suspension system on it but he didn't know how it works. What year did they put compressors and operator controlled air suspension systems on Goldwings? And would that info be in the owners (service) manual?

Bought a factory trailer wireing harness can't find the plugs on my 1990 gl1500 se supposed too be plug an play old wire plug end got cut off so bought a new one how do I find harness plug in

Cliff, all this works on the antique Honda Goldwing, right ? Buddy of mine has a 1988 GoldWing.

MAYBE OLD CLIFF CAN DO SO HOW TO VID AT OUR RALLY HINT HINT

what about airing the front shocks ?? can you show that ?

I carry a small 12v air compressor that l can plug in directly from the battery I case needed that way l avoid to use the air compressor from the motorcycle as much as possible

I have a 94 se 1500 no spark.. any ideas

Can anyone tell me where the air compressor is located on a 93 gl1500 ? Ordered a haynes manual but can't Wait .Bike Was Converted To Trike And Only Getting Clicks When Pressings The Buttons.

And how is this plumbed into the airshock plumbing?

Hello I'm looking for a battery cover (right side) or a pair for a 1993 gold wing. I've looked on e bay, craigslist ect. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, but you speak a lot a never connect to the tire. I manage to figure out how to do it. It helped a little. Thanks.

How can you air up a rear tire on a1500 aspencade trike

Do you know why my Goldwing 95 does not start when is in one speed .even if I pull de clutch.

Very good video how do I find you on facebook

Where is Waterbomb located Goldwing 96SC 1500

Hi Clifford no idea if you still reply to these messages now the vi's is quite old. I'm desperate to source the carpet mats for the side bags and the trunk. Any ideas of part or model numbers or if 98+ - 01+ will fit? Thankyou.

I just bring a small bicycle pump, it works fine.

Just recently purchased a 99 1500 special edition that was completely torn apart because the guy wanted to repaint all the body work and then got scared he would never be able to put it back together again so it had been sitting in storage for 12 years touring completely apart and all the parts were in boxes and the fasteners were in a plastic container. Took all of the fasteners in the plastic container and laid them all out on a table and sorted them all out so I've got all these little piles of nuts and bolts and screws and brackets. I've been spending the last couple of weeks figuring out where all the parts go while fixing the mechanical sections of the motorcycle itself.the good thing is all the mechanical is easy to work on because the bike has no body work on it at all so everything is easy to get to at this point.I'm going to do all the service and rebuild the carburetors and fix every single nut and bolt on the bike itself before I even start putting body work back on. Your videos have been completely essential to helping me figure out where all the body work goes and how it goes back together. I've got several great shop manuals that help but they're not as detailed as your videos. Particularly your videos have helped isolate and identify the fasteners and what they are and where they go and which ones are extremely important. I've been watching all of your videos and every time I do I go back to my table of fasteners and relabel stuff because now I know exactly where they go.I must have taken the headlight off two or three different times because I kept using the wrong fasteners but now I think I've got it nailed down.you have no idea how incredibly helpful your videos are to help me with this million piece puzzle.

In my mind i was concerned that short hose wouldn’t reach the front left tire…

Can I use the compressor to air up the front forks?

Do you have to have your Goldwing on the center stand for the compressor to work ?

If you are taking requests Cliff, I would like to see a video on replacing the sub-air filters. There is a how-to but a video would be MUCH better. goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11036 Have you checked the sub filters on your bike? I have a 94 SE I need to tear down and check before they turn to dust and plug stuff up.

Thats is incorrect you turn the front forks to the left and put the key switch in the fork lock position then move the key to park position then press the outlet button to air tires or front forks do not do what is shown in video

Are you aware how often you say...."and everything....?" Very annoying.

Hey talk talk talk saying almost nothing. What about the other buttons?
