Tires not well balanced will do what you describe without being consistent at other speeds. Worn tires even more so. Check the head bearings and brakes while you're at it....they can contribute unwelcome heebie jeebies as well.

May or may not help, but can't hurt....clean and exercise the handlebar cut-off switch. If that isn't the culprit, check/clean/tighten the grounds and all battery/solenoid connections. I really HATE electrical problems...

One.

Eclipse for the tank bag, Lockhart/Philips for the tank bra.

Condensed moisture. Remove, clean, replace. Check your tool strap...

That too...

Apparently.... but I still wonder what it would be capable of doing on good fuel...

No. Running anything commonly available at under 100 octane is the culprit. Good fuel = good horsepower and great torque under any loads in all conditions without any pre-det even with high advance timing numbers and split overlap(100/105C) cam timing. 93 pump gas with a shitload of canned octane boost will get me home in a pinch if I can't find a racetrack(or friendly airport) nearby to fill her up. Still sounds like a coffee can with about a handful of steelies being shaken violently if it's hot and humid out and I get rev/torque happy with the throttle. It's more a result of intake air temp and density than it is the actual engine temps. My compromise so that I could enjoy riding it on the street was to decrease the squish by increasing chamber volume and dialing the static ignition timing to the OE stop(-15 to -18) on the retard side. I learned the hard, expensive, and time consuming way that pumping a 25+ year old air cooled mill up into the performance output range of a Blackbird was possible, just not very practical. But again, I'm sure that the computer will cure nearly all ills but may never reveal what the potential output could be if we had something besides watered down Zippo fuel available at the local gas stations...

I guess that the difference lies there...I've done it with an engine that isn't electronically controlled by a computer. Maybe I'm missing something but it just seems to defeat the purpose when the ECM has to dial the spark back so far that it basically nullifies the potential gains on the mechanical side for lack of a stable fuel. And the loss could really be transparent except in direct comparison...bet you could dump a load of VP or high dollar Sunoco in there and pick up significant gains....

91 octane pump gas and anything over 10:1 will be just asking for a big pain in the ass. This doesn't account for shitty ethanol fuels at all. ECM and electronic retard/anti-knock might be able to help out some, but I've tried everything under the sun to fix this problem and nothing less than 100 octane has ever come close. My application started as 12.30:1, lowered to 11.25:1 and -15 deg static timing...still pings like a bitch on hot, humid afternoons. Runs like a raped ape on 100LL from around 11pm until about 8:30am though.....

Magical number on my '03 is 214 and it works every time. Never have had a problem.

Or the balance shafts needed adjustment... CBX makes my hands feel like I've been holding a power drill for too long after about an hour. I need to look into something for that...

Cool ! Thanks. I downloaded the manual you pointed me too. I musta just misunderstood your reference...thought you meant that there was some kind of a supplemental detailed wiring diagram.... Now I just have to get him off the Wing long enough to get the cowl off again and have a looksee... Thanks again !

Bump for DaveK...you get my PM?

PM sent. Thanks dude!

Neither headset speakers do anything but the mics will work dandy on CB transmit. Also no rider/passenger audio gets through the intercom either. I'm thinking it must be the common connection to the head unit as first trace. How many plugs are in between total? That would be spectacular! Thanks ! John and I will both owe you beer...

Thanks David !

Looking for info on the audio wiring to headsets and/or pinout diagrams for the audio system on an '05 Gl-1800 Gold Wing. Problem is no audio makes it to the headset speakers only in any mode. On-board bike speakers work fine, all functions good on all on-board systems, headset checks good on other bikes, microphone in headset works for transmissions but have to monitor CB with on-board speakers. My theory is damage to a connector or single wire while doing the first service and removing the cowling over airbox. There's like four million wires under there...where do I start?

Look at all those SuperSports...dayyum ! :icon_thumbsup: :icon_clap: '82 900F, '83 1100F, CBX, big-boy F model Hurricane...I wanna hang out wit y'all.... How many are members over on Glenn's F board? CBX World much yourself? Is the yellow/goldish one '81 or '82?

The flaw in that reasoning is the assumption of being willing to sell for the profit at some point. Only if my family is starving....

Gotta be somebody here... :icon_think: Too many high quality mods and farkles to be a lone rogue maverick...

Luckily I'm not in the market because I cant see the bike for your avatar... Good luck with the sale. (actually the pics look nice :icon_thumbsup: )

Almost makes you wonder by the way he worded it if it "is" a radar detector or it "has" a radar detector... No pics is worrisome in a way, but I bet it still attracts LOTS of attention.
