Tech Tips Index
Note: The navigation scheme for the Tech Tips section has changed. This material had grown so voluminous that the page was loading very slowly. Now, each Tech Tip is located on a separate page and this main page serves as the master index to all Tech Tips. Old links to this material (published elsewhere) are no longer valid and will land you on this new main Tech Tips index page. Please read: Disclaimers
Left Photo is beautiful GL1000 engine restoration by customer Tom Cox of Loveland, Colorado Here are some technical tips you might find helpful. My intent is to publish technical information that you're not likely to find elsewhere - so I don't generally cover procedures here that are adequately covered in workshop manuals. While I'm on the topic of manuals, I rely on three: the Official Honda GL1000 Workshop Manual, plus the ones from Clymer's and Haynes. Generally, the Honda manual is sufficient, but sometimes the others provide helpful cross-reference. I also make extensive use of the official Honda GL1000 Parts Book (very helpful…has exploded diagrams and part numbers) and the dealer Set-Up Guide. I strongly recommend that you obtain at least one good manual before you delve into any repairs or maintenance. For convenience, the Clymer and Haynes manuals are listed here (at good prices) via links to Amazon where you can get brief descriptions of each book. Buy them wherever you like. The Amazon referral fees to me are inconsequential. The main thing is that you have access to this information.
A good source for the Honda manual is: http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp My lawyer asks me to remind you that you are advised to heed all recommended safety practices detailed in the manuals listed above and that you assume ALL risks. I welcome suggestions and will gladly publish clever ideas once I verify the merits. This section represents years of work and research on my part. I would remind plagiarists and anyone else who might be tempted to "borrow" any of the material published here (with or without attribution) to read and heed the Intellectual Property below.
