Honda should include this video with every new GW they sell. Great explanation of it's operating systems put clearly and simply. Great job. Subscribed. 👌
Wow This is the one stop shop for all the knowledge you need that the saleman trys to remember to tell you when you pick up your first Goldwing. Fantastic Video thank you so much Cruiserman.
All good info. The only recommendation I would change is for closing and latching the trunk lid. I do NOT recommend pushing down on the rear of the lid to close it. The paint/clear coat on the Wing is soft and is easily damaged. Repeatedly closing the lid in this manner will cause fine scratches in the clear coat, resulting in a hazy, or cloudy look. I close mine by pushing down only on the top of the backrest. This way you don't have to touch the paint at all to close it...
I love my 2018 DCT even more after watching this! So many great features to make riding even more enjoyable.
I really appreciate your attention to detail in your videos. Makes maintenance much less intimidating.
Well done, Chris. I always learn something new from your videos.
Thanks for the video Cruiseman. You pointed out several things I did not know. As always, ride safely.
Great video CM. Thanks for all your hard work on these videos
Incredible! Hands down, THE BEST Honda Goldwing channel on CZcams!
Awesome video ! I learned more from your videos than actual Honda itself .keep it up👍
Well done, Cruiseman! I learned 2 or 3 things even tho I’ve read the owners manual and ridden my 2018 for nearly 3 years. Thank you!
Wow, I had a childhood flashback seeing that Trail 70 in the background at 2:17. Good times back then. Great video, thank you. Currently on a 2004 GL1800 and looking for the 2023 models to come out.
Hey Cruiseman, I just bought my 2021 Goldwing (manual shift) at the beginning of this month and I watched this video before I got my bike and several times since and I find this one of the best videos out. Thanks for sharing. I love this bike, but there’s so many things to learn about it. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on the new bike!
Im still learning my 2019 Dct
These channel is just like an Angel for Goldwingers . Keep up the good work and thank you
This is my second time viewing this video, it is so handy to refresh yourself with all this useful information one tends to forget over time, thanks cruiseman.....Javi G.
Great video once again Cruiseman! Thanks from Brisbane Australia.
Excellent video! I love my new 2018 GW bagger manual 6-speed! Thanks for the video. Very informative!
Hey Cruiseman!
Great video, lots of good information, thank you for all you do for us Goldwingers!!!
Loyal.
Being GoldWing curious this was very informative...
Best summary video of this bike ever!!!
Excellent information!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Cruiseman. This was extremely helpful as I am new to the goldwing and community.
Thanks Cruiseman, very informative video, I loved it!!!
As you can guess, I have an ‘18. Bought new in crate in 2019. Dealer did not go over ANY of these; handed over the key fob and said “Thanks for the business”. I soon after purchased your videos. They have been extremely helpful. I wish you would keep publishing more. You seem to have stopped? There are so many other topics you could cover IMHO. Nice refresher video for those of us already veteran GW riders.
Hey Cruiseman,
Thanks again for another excellent video. I will definitely be watching and rewatching this one. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Just brought my new 2021 GW home yesterday! Thanks for this video - it is very informative and helpful.
Congratulations on the new bike.
VERY GOOD. All new owners should watch. I recommend people watch video at the bike and do a hands on learning.
Hey Cruiseman, I just bought my first 2018 Wing ! Taking delivery tomorrow. It’s the Stallion Brown color . Thanks for the great information!
Great vídeo, you're the man!👍..greetings from Portugal ✌️
Love my new'18 wing. Just got Traxxion suspension upgrade. Love it. BTW dampening is something you do with a sponge.
On the DCT model, by locking the handlebars to the right instead of the left, both mirrors can be fully retracted to provide protection from damage or to improve space in a tight parking spot.
Also in changing the mode while in motion, rather than close the throttle before doing so, I find it safer to pre select the chosen new mode then close the throttle to engage it. If using tour mode, this will prevent the sport mode from engaging if you're after econ or rain modes ... otherwise it can take by surprise as I've discovered!
Thanks for a very informative video.
chris, As great as your videos are, This is by far the best thanks. mike
Great informative video as always
Great job!
Very informative 👍
Nice and very detailed info.👍👍👍
Also I would like to commend you on this video it’s very informative for a new 2018+ Honda Gold wing owner.
Great video. Very interesting. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you. 👍
Note: while cruise control is engaged in operation you can toggle through driving modes (sport, tour, rain & Econ) and the bike will change on the fly what you choose all while maintaining your cruise speed
Excellent video and loved the tips!
Great video. Thanks.
Great info for new buyer! Thanks
There had to be some missed opportunity for a "Cruiseman" comment in going over the "Cruise Control". Come-on now. :-D ;-)
I did learn from this video that I can have my windshield in the full up position to wash my bike. Yay!
(Oh, my - Another Cruiseman Maintenance videos infomercial - You must be making a fortune on them... Well, actually happy for you! You found a good niche! Love ya, man.)
Thanks cruise man Robert from Albany, Oregon
Cruiseman u r the best. Thank u for all u do.
Good info for a prospective GW owner, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
Good job. I don't own a Goldwing but I have to give credit where credit is due. Incredible motorcycle! I've always thought/wondered.... what if.... You get the newest models from each of the top touring bike manufacturers and ride them from Miami FL. to Anchorage AK. Which one would need the most/least maintenance? Keep an intense log record of each bike. I've always thought the Honda Goldwing would win that contest. I wonder if the top brand motorcycle manufacturers would like to volunteer to this challenge? Let them bring their own bike, maintenance crews, chase vehicles, parts ..... EVERYTHING! All bikes ride at the same time, together, same exact conditions and rest stops. Together! It's not a race, it's a maintenance test.
Very helpful video!
Another tip you may find useful that is not in the manual is that by holding down the Audio button on the center panel (console) you can turn the audio off.
Great vid, thanx.
Very good information
Between cost of maintenance and available sources of great info avail from you I pretty sure you have convinced me to go for the 21 Goldwing and not a K1600 GTL, thank you for what you do. I am sure I will get your maintenance videos when I find my dream Goldwing, be safe out there.
JR, I own both and while I love the BMW it has its own drawbacks. The audio system is horrible, there is no bluetooth in for the bike you have to buy the Garmin GPS Navigator as a bluetooth hub at the highly outrageous price of $950, then maybe half of the people get it to work properly. Mine has never worked, I wasted my money on the GPS since I'd rather use my phone for navigation anyway. The bike is very smooth, and very powerful, but the throttle is mushy even in sport mode and in higher gears the ECM only gives you about 75% throttle. A Bren Tune fixes the driveability issues, for only $650. I love being able to remove the bags and have a sportier bike with a comfortable riding position, but if I could only own one bike it would probably be the Wing.
@@johnfriend862 Thanks for the info. Many years ago I bought a Kawasaki K1300, water cooled Six Tour bike, and to this day it is my favorite tour bike. The 84 GPZ1100 would have to be my favorite sport bike. I must say I have not ridden since late 85 after hearing a good friend was killed on his bike but ready to get back into touring.
Excellent video!
By the way cruiseman, you do a excellent job in the production and editing...very professional. Javi G.
Nice video and informative information for Honda gold wing
what a great video I may be interested in buying maintenance video.
Thanks Cruiseman
Enjoyed that. 👍
thank you for the video Excellent!!
Excellent videos….might have to switch to Goldwing
Very informative video thank you, gonna save up for a GoldWing now
Glad it helped
Well done, thanks!
Great video!!!!
Amazing really thank you so much
Great info👍
Hi Cruiseman, I've been watching a lot of your Gen 6 GW videos. I'm in the midst of making the decision on a 2021, non tour model. It's a tough decision. I'll be leaving my very much loved, low tech, Kawasaki Concours. I currently own both the first generation Concours and the current C14 model. I'm getting to an age that long distance is becoming more uncomfortable in the Sport Touring riding position and with no cruise control. Well, the test ride is tomorrow, I hope I either Love it or Hate it, this is the toughest motorcycle decision I have ever made. Thanks so much for your really informative and thorough videos.
I have the new C14 also and haven ridden the 08 Goldwing and even going from that to the C14 felt like a cheap dirtbike. 😢...Get any wing '01 and up, 18+ is redonculous though a little smaller
I have a 2019 GW 6spd . I've been through about everything you mentioned but I wish I would have seen the Video first . It sure would have made it a lot easier.
Not to sure about hanging the helmet on the end of the handlebars. I'm afraid a bird might take aim at the helmet.
Shame on Honda for the top box that won't hold my XL N104 Noland helmet without putting pressure on the lid to close. And I've tried several positions to close it. Hill hold is a great thing.
I've done the hill hold for friends and my kids when they started riding dirt bike's, they probably didn't know that I would pull up close behind them in case they started rolling back on a hill.
And then talked about how to control that issue.
Thank's for the great video .
Helmets are EASILY stolen by thieves by simply using a box cutter or folding knife. NO WAY would I hang my nearly 700 dollar Shoei helmet outside on my bike ! SO, so dumb ! What was Honda thinking ! NO excuse for Honda not allowing an 800 lb 'WIng to store a single helmet in a side saddlebag. It just goes to show that the marketing folks, NOT the real riders, are in charge of the design of these bikes.
Thank You
The different ride modes also affect the brake application to some degree according to the service manual, how much who knows but it is somehow changed.
Thank you
Great video, extremely helpful and informative! One question concerning braking noise. I recently purchased 2018 Goldwing with 3K miles. I noticed under hard braking, a growling or wailing sound coming from front brake area. No vibration in handlebars and stops very well, just unusual noise. Any feedback or insight on this issue. Thank you!
Did not know about tire pressure display on left lower side of dash display. Thanks!
Another great video. Looking forward to seeing more. Where can I find the contact information for your recommended accessories list?
Chris, a few things that either I've found different or are on the M6 models. My 2018 Tour will not engage the cruise at under 30 MPH. The reverse works very differently on the manual, and there is no "walking mode" forward. Finally, another way to disengage the cruise control is to pull the clutch lever. You did teach me a few things that in the 2 1/2 years I've had mine I didn't know.
No need to pull. Simply squeeze very lightly. You can feel the microswitch deactivate.
The decision to prevent the cruise to work below 30 MPH must have been taken by lawyers, and I'd like to know their arguments. There are many situations where I'd like the CC to maintain for instance 10 MPH while I could spend my full attention to the road and its surroundings, and not focus on not going too fast, on a camp ground or a real poor road.
this helps to take the leap
new gw bought. honda should compensate this channel.
Congratulations for all your videos, it's a very professional work, well explained in details, it's not my language but I understand well. I learned a lot of new things. I bought your maintenance package a few days ago.
I have a question about the grade of gasoline for 2018 +, you recommend 87 octane while in the Honda book it is 91, can you clarify?? Thanks
Thanks for the video. I have learned most from trial and error and your previous videos. No negative comments on this. However, missed that you can add the AUX connection and see it on the Audio connections. I use my Garmin via AUV and have audio for GPS, MP3 , XM, and weather alerts outputted via the bike's audio... speakers or Bluetooth.
Can you elaborate on this? Not familiar with adding the AUX connection. That is something I would use as I’m not a headset guy. Thanks.
I have a ’19 DCT Tour. There is a connector on the bike for an AUX input that one can connect to an external device (GPS, iPod,…) that will allow for a wired input of the audio of the device to the bike’s audio system. One must purchase the cable to connect to the bike and allow for the device audio output to be connected. The connection end of the AUX wire on the bike is difficult to get to. One must remove some body parts and seat to get to. I installed my cable while I was installing a few other aftermarket electrical items. There is a video someplace that provides the instructions to get the cable installed. Honda should have made the access of the connector easier. Once I connected my GPS to the AUX input, I am able to go into the Audio menu and select AUX instead of FM, AM,….. The GPS audio now plays through the bike’s audio system. I can use either the bike’s speakers (which I rate as poor) or I can have my J&M Bluetooth headset paired and receive the audio via the headset. I rarely use the bike’s speakers.
I have 2022 not Dct goldwing one year.The only thing I am dissatisfied is the 110 speed limit you know to unblock cruise man you 🙌
I don't own a goldwing but with this video I want one ☺️
First segment about turning your motorcycle on is missing something that I discovered on my own. While the motorcycle is completely shut down, you can press either the front or rear brake and press and hold the start button and the ignition will turn on and the motorcycle will start. Pass it on…
Another way to start the DCT model. While squeezing front brake, press and hold engine cutoff switch in the start position. Engine just fires right up.
It works on most bikes, and I do it that way, too. I just push and hold the start button, then I squeeze the brake lever.
Hey Cruiseman, I just purchased my 2023 Honda Goldwing in black. When should I do my first oil and filter change?
Where is the phone charger???
Hi. I have a 2020 goldwing bagger with apple CarPlay. The trick with it is that you have to turn off the Bluetooth on your iPhone the. Then helmet pairs with the bike. Then you plug your iPhone into your bike and it pairs everytime
How are you doing cruise man? My name is Hollywood. I left you a previous message on a different topic but I’m watching a video on the hill assist and the gas to put on the bike. You are recommending 87 octane in your opinion which gas is best Gary Sunoco BP I live in Florida so we have racetrack 7-Eleven on my current bike. I always try to go to race track.
I'm a new Goldwing owner. I found your video very informative. Could you give the brand and model of your luggage rack? To your experience, how much weight can it hold without damaging the trunk? Thank you.
Given all the warning lights regarding saddlebag and kickstand status, etc., I prematurely declared mine "idiot proof." You can't ride off with the kickstand down! You can't start the bike when it's in drive! But, there's nothing preventing you from riding off with the parking brake engaged. Except the red light that tells you that you left the ^&%$ parking brake on.
Hi Cruiseman I know this is off topic I'm interested in getting a new helmet and was wondering if you knew which intercom I would be good with getting like the sena 10 or the 20 just something for my wife and I to talk back and forth with and I compared with my 2018 Goldwing ?ty so much for any advice I never had Bluetooth intercoms before so I don't know much about them
I’m looking forward to buying 2021 in the winter. What do you think truly of that bike?
herzlichen Dank 😉
Thanks for this video. I've had my DCT Tour for just over a year and learned a couple things. I was wondering how your fuel range showed 249 miles. The most range I've ever seen was 200. Does that reading take into accound the current MPG shown on the info streamer at the bottom of the spedo/tach gauges?
I believe it have to do with riding habbit.
If you are hard on the gas will give a lower range, but if you ride slow and steady, maybe more eco mode that range should increase. It is always estimated and not the actual mileage you will get for sure. Don't rely on that. Just enjoy your riding time, and safe trips with open roads.
I like your content just got a new harley, that master clynder doesn't look pristine. Peace ✌️
I have a 2006 Goldwing. Do you have a section of your videos for that generation?
Here in Sudbury Ontario Canada the gas price today is $8.97 I know our dollar is lower than yours and a gallon is bigger but I think we are ahead of you in price even with those factors right now the price is $1.97 a liter
2021 duct trike. Wow!
Please tell me where to get the tiedown units to the front of the engine and how to attach them. I am going to purchase your MX video series.
Trying to decide to buy one. I love your videos. Following your BMW review waiting for the last one to come out. Hold up on buying bike is my wife can not see in front of the biked, which she wants to, and with a bad disk in her neck it hurts her a great deal to be leaning out looking around me. (Says the back of my helmet is just not interesting enough.) Would love to find a seat that would raise her up high enough but then I do not know how far that would mess up the center of gravity on the bike. Any words of wisdom? She will not ride anything but her Yamaha Vino 125. She dropped her Honda Silverwing 600, the perfect bike, and now is afraid of it. My riding days may be numbered.
Hello Cruiseman enjoy your videos. I can possibly buy a 2018 Honda Goldwing Ardent red with only 10,000. I presently own a 2015 Indian Chief Vintage. I would like to have more comfort and was thinking of buying a wing rathe then a HD or Indian my only concern is that I will maybe miss the v-twin. I know you have owned several motorcycles including a V-twin. What are your thoughts of making the switch. I know it’s a personal matter but since you owned several v-twin in the past was that an issue missing the v-twin.
Thanks
Hi CM. I couldn't find the link to your aftermarket tie down.
I wish you cover earlier models I have some questions about my 2006.
Looking for some info or advice, Im looking at a 2008 Golodwing, it has 123,000 miles on it, the original owner and very clean with a lot of add on, the bike can be bought for 5k due to health issues. Question is will I have a lot of issues with it and should I buy it with this kind of milage
