Excellent movie. You forgot to mention disconnecting steel cable on the left for the foot warmer. I've used your video to get to the tank to remove it to gain access to the starter. My next step. Overall, I love it. Thanks.
I have done this on my Gen 5 and Gen 6 wings. My new motto - buy a wing, ride it for 25,000 miles until the air filter is completely clogged, trade it in on a new wing. LOL. Well not really but I feel like it some times. Come on Honda!!
I have done it and its a pain in the butt and I am pissed off the whole time i'm doing it because of the ridiculousness of it all just to change an air filter.
I would think that by 2012 honda could have simplified the air filter replacement on the wing for God sakes, this is a lot of bullshit just to replace an air filter.
I just did my 08 myself for the first time. I took my time (about 2 hrs) and it came out fine. It looks harder than it is, but you do need to take your time and be organized with what comes off. Side point: this is my first Wing. I have owned it for 3 weeks. I refuse to be intimidated.
great job! does anyone know, can you start the bike b4 putting everything back just 2make sure the airfilter/bike is working fine? hate 2know that there was an issue after u put back all teh stuff!
At 5:00 you add a caption that you are learning as you went about this. We all must learn. I would recommend less distracting music , or better no music, for future videos.
Two suggestions for anyone thinking about creating instructional videos: 1) Point the camera at the area in question 2) Don't stand between the camera and what you're trying to film
I'm surprised Honda made a service item like an air filter so hard to do, are they trying to drum up service business? Whatever the reason.... shame on you Honda.
I had it done at my dealer almost $300, bike is 4 years old with 82000km original filter, mechanic said he did many wings with over 100 000km that only change engine and diff oil and plugs, i guess i am not the only one that doesn’t want half his bike torn apart for cheap filter
The engineers who designed this shit are gonna cost them a sale. No freaking thanks. That's bullshit. Even if you take it to a dealer, it's still gonna cost over $100 for a fucking air cleaner change !!!!
Bought an f6b last year and really like almost everything about the bike. Started watching service videos to learn the "how to" basics shortly afterwards. I have still not found a real video on changing the air filter as they all show a virtual complete tear down of the bike to change it. I mean seriously this can't be true, is it "fake news", those clever Honda Japanese designers would never create such a monstrosity.....would they? I will keep looking until I find the real video where you simply remove the seat and pop in the new air filter........its out there somewhere, right?
Only Honda makes it difficult for the do it yourselfers. When it requires anything other than oil the manufacturer highly recommends trading in for a new one.
Joel, what an AWESOME job and quite a pain to change an air filter. I WAS starting to get concerned about my wing with 7,800 hundred miles........ Now I think I will wait until 30K! Goog Video. Thanks for making.
I work on Harley’s and just brought one of these in for service as a favor to a neighbor. Is this a joke.....am I getting punked. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen before in my life. I could seriously do a top end in a evo faster. What a design fiasco this thing is.
next one I do it's going to be a $250 labor plus parts. that's too much shit to do to get to an air filter. it's literally a 2.5hr job. the one I did had a different seat on the back that goes over top of the rider seat. so it has to be unbolted also.
It took me 5 1/2 hours to change the air filter on my 2016 F6B it was my first time changing the filter i installed a K&N. All I CAN SAY IS WOW!! I thought it would be easier😲😲 I do a lot of riding out west towards West Texas Midland Odessa, Elpaso. Blowing dust dirt out that way so going with the K&N it's a better filter.
Thanks for the video. Could not have taken the project on without watching this video multiple times first. One cheat... That pesky connector under the console panel comes off easier by sneaking a small screw driver into the return clip from the left side of the bike. I could not free it by simply lifting the tab from the right. The whole job took me 4 hours. Only reason I did not go to Honda is they have scratched my paint when changing tires. They would have trashed these body panels.
No air filter is dirty enough to justify all this!
Excellent movie. You forgot to mention disconnecting steel cable on the left for the foot warmer. I've used your video to get to the tank to remove it to gain access to the starter. My next step. Overall, I love it. Thanks.
so many steps left out!
That's horrible! Whenever I touch those plastic things, I break those tabs everywhere and then it costs me a lot of money for a new plastic 😢
This is why I got a Harley. You dont have to dismantle the entire bike for a simple air filter.
I have done this on my Gen 5 and Gen 6 wings. My new motto - buy a wing, ride it for 25,000 miles until the air filter is completely clogged, trade it in on a new wing. LOL. Well not really but I feel like it some times. Come on Honda!!

I left. That music!!!
Nice that Honda made it so you dont need to remove the pistons to get to air filter
This job would be much easier without the crappy music!

Well done sir, I have just bought my first goldwing, a 2008 and I'm going to do air filter myself when time comes,
great job! does anyone know, can you start the bike b4 putting everything back just 2make sure the airfilter/bike is working fine? hate 2know that there was an issue after u put back all teh stuff!
great job! is this instruction good for f6b series?...wonder if the newer GW s have an easier time w/installation of the air filter? thanks
I just knew any minute that front tire was gonna have to come off!!! My next bike is a wing .....but dang you engineers! !!
At 5:00 you add a caption that you are learning as you went about this. We all must learn. I would recommend less distracting music , or better no music, for future videos.
Great video, it was a b ig help. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Glad it helped. Ride safe!
Wow.... Are you kidding me..... It's like rebuilding entire bike over again... Hell no... I will take it to the dealer.
Two suggestions for anyone thinking about creating instructional videos: 1) Point the camera at the area in question 2) Don't stand between the camera and what you're trying to film
and turn off the music
Ridiculous for a simple air filter change.
Honda should be ashamed of themselves for making something as important as changing an air filter so difficult.
I'm surprised Honda made a service item like an air filter so hard to do, are they trying to drum up service business? Whatever the reason.... shame on you Honda.
Pure stupidity in design to force you to the dealership to get service. What a fucking racket
отличное видео (good video)
Thanks!
Now I understand why people buy Harleys.
Heesa Noice,,,i will never understand why someone would buy a Harley over a Goldwing.
Great no nonsense video! However as stated in the video, you missed filming some things so I don’t think I could use this.
I tried to watch, but that music is irritating when you’re trying to hear keywords of a description in this procedure.
Maybe next time leave the music off-what are y thinking-Oh! You were not.
What year is your wing? Mine got airbag, can't find a video of it.
Mine is 2012 but no air bag. Good luck
I had it done at my dealer almost $300, bike is 4 years old with 82000km original filter, mechanic said he did many wings with over 100 000km that only change engine and diff oil and plugs, i guess i am not the only one that doesn’t want half his bike torn apart for cheap filter
Insane!
This was an excellent practical joke! It is a practical joke, right?!? The people who made the movie Spinal Tap made this video, correct??
I enjoy working on my motorcycles....but I don’t think I’m going to enjoy this.
The engineers who designed this shit are gonna cost them a sale. No freaking thanks. That's bullshit. Even if you take it to a dealer, it's still gonna cost over $100 for a fucking air cleaner change !!!!
All this just to change air filter? 😂 I will just take it to the dealership
1’000.00 at dealer
Not in this lifetime!
I bought a goldwing over a Harley because I thought harley were high maintenance. This is a lot of work for an air filter. Best replace it with a K&N.
I'm Have my Wings back working yes fine thanks for the Info.

That’s to much disassembling for a damn air filter. How much doses the dealership chit do that?

Thanks for the comments. Glad it was helpful. Good luck when you try it. It's not too bad. Just takes some time. I agree on the 30k.
@@joelclundSo you're saying it's okay to go 30,000 MI between filter changes?
No need for the music to be so loud. Sometimes it is hard to understand what you are saying.

I used to live in Waco. Good long open roads in Texas. I miss the Austin hill country. I don't miss the extreme heat though. Ride safe.
Joel Lund That Austin hill country is some good riding.
Good Video but I could have done without the background music.

Glad the video was useful for you. Thanks for the helpful tip on the connector.
Would help if radio not playing in background. But watching is helpful.

I like the video but the music is to loud
