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. 👌

@jamesbottger5894 2 жыл бұрын

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...

@aeroplod 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

@johnfriend862 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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 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 .

@geraldfrieberg7921 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

@dennism665 3 жыл бұрын

No need to pull. Simply squeeze very lightly. You can feel the microswitch deactivate.

@erik_dk842 Жыл бұрын

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.

@wflentge 3 жыл бұрын

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.

Does that reading take into accound the current MPG shown on the info streamer at the bottom of the spedo/tach gauges?

@asianman4250 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.

W/O your video I would have been totally lost, Just picked up 2021 6 spd in MO. The dealer staff was had less knowledge than me which made drive back Chicago challenging. So far the bike as a whole is Awesome, but the shortcomings of Poor Radio reception AM/FM, GPS interface sucks & Nice seat to look at but brutal for 5 hours! Anyone have a Radio solution? Thank you for your videos!
