GL1200 Goldwing Timing Belts Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2011
- Replacing timing belts on a Honda GL1200 Goldwing. The GL1200 in this video is an Aspencade model. The procedure for changing the belts is almost identical for all GL1200 models, a bit easier on the Standard (unfaired/naked) model from 1984-85. This video covers removal of other items such as the saddle, faux tank shelter, lower fairing panels, radiator, timing belt covers etc. A full how-to article with photos can be seen here; www.goldwingfacts.com/1200timi...

Holy shit this is the best repair video for a goldwing I have ever seen! Your the best!
Hey Steve, outstanding video on the timing belts. Kudos on all the elements that make up a great vid; good lighting, great camera position, perfect visual sequencing of the steps - both dismantling and re-assembly, and great written helps. I am an older guy who just bought a 1984 Wing and suspect it may need 'belts', and being on a very tight retiree's budget will probably do the job myself. It was a scary and daunting process until I watched your video which took away almost all of the apprehension. Thank you again from a very appreciative reader.
what that guy said!
Steve Saunders does an excellent job with all his videos that I've seen/used. He shows how to do something better than shop manuals. The only critique I have is that his work comes out perfect while for example my lines in the check timing are a little off. He doesn't mention if you just go back and repeat or give suggestions on what could be wrong if it comes up that way. All said and done GREAT JOB. A tip of the hat to your videos and keep up the great work!
Thank you Steve. Your guide was perfect. I do want to note that on my GL 1200 instead of having both of those Allen head bolts holding on the covers on both sides the inside where the Allen head bolts but the outside had posts with nuts on them. The left side was easy to come off but the right side was too close to the frame. Had a little bit of frustration I ended up cutting off part of the post so I can get the cover off. Also my right side head did bounce exactly like it did in the video and thanks for the video I didn’t crap my pants. Thanks again seems like I’m on your website or watching one of your videos daily
Steve makes it look easy, for some reason when I tried getting the belts on with the pulleys at tdc I had a hell of a time getting them under the tensioners. I started thinking that the belts were to small.
With only one hand. Excellent Video Thanks
Very informative. Good editing. I like the way you noted the right timing belt pulley changing position.
thanks for the help mate that's great, I have watched many of your videos and they have been very helpful, there should be more people like you, thanks a million.
Thanks for the useful and informative video. I can't help thinking my cambelt change will take a lot longer as I will be cleaning and polishing every nut, bolt, bracket, and casing as I remove them😀.
Lol ...im the same ...removing and cleaning......
Super filmik, z jego pomocą sam wymieniłem paski ;)
Mission accomplished! Thank you very much!
steve- thanks for making this video- its been very helpful- great job !!!
Thank you Steve!!
When the right pulley sprung out of time, the video did not show how you got it back on the mark before putting the belt back on, did you just rotate it back in the direction it came from and it stayed until you put the belt under the tensioner???, still good video, also the covers the left side overlap the right side, which makes it first off last on. Again thanks.
Certain years have the pulse modulator behind the timing cover now would be a good time to change it whether it's bad or not
i have seen in some videos people push down on the tentioner before tightening it to give the belt extra tention just incase the springs are worn. is there a certain amount of play that the belt should have to know that you have the correct amount of tention? this is on a gl1100 witch looks the same as this 1200 in the video.
Exceptional video. Wonder, why not change out the water pump? What is your advice on buying an 84/1200 GW that's been sitting for 4 years. No fluids. How much of it will need rebuild/resto? Is it worth the parts? Labor is nothing, I am an experienced mechanic. Looking for a project bike worth the investment for long tour rides. Thanks.
How easily do the valve stems bend if the timing belts are off? My first time doing it and they were off, started the bike and Pistons were hitting valves. I shut it off after 30 seconds of trying to figure it out. I realized what it was and am going to correct it. Is there a chance the valve stems are okay? Not want to pull the heads as I just installed new head gaskets. Thanks in advance
Did you have to replace the water pump gasket or any other gaskets?
Once the belts are off, you just need to remove the camshaft pulleys to pry the seals out. The GL1200 engine removal video shows the cam pulleys being removed, if that is of any help.
Thank you very much it very helpful video and it gives me the courage to do mine.God bless!
Great video Steve, thanks !
Hi Steve, great video. My right cam pulley sprung too. Similar as in the video. How do i align it again without damaging any valves or so?
a great help cheers mate
So detailed that it scares me to think that I could actually do this. Do you have a video on how to replace the seals if the cam shafts or main shaft are leaking oil in the timing belt area?
thanks
James Aich this process is way easier than he's making it look he's taking off way too much s*** that he does that does not have to be taken off or removed need to remove both lower side fairing Shields loosen the radiator remove the lower radiator hose just take a 2 x 4 or a block of wood block the radiator out of the way and you have full access to the timing covers take the covers off replace the belts but everything back together start to finish your done in an hour have no f****** idea why this guy remove the saddlebags to see the full gas tank cover all of that b******* just replace the timing belts this is why shops f****** charge so much f****** money cuz I do all this extra b******* and charge you for it if you look it up in the book in the manual it's calls for an hour and a half job and these assholes want to charge $600 to do this s*** get a manual do it yourself it's easy I've changed my three times
@@mikeparrish930 can you help me under stand the block wood part ....looking attack this job , trying to gather as much info as i can ....
Think to this as a winter project
Thank you very easy to understand your video please be safe
My only thought is about preventive maintenance. As long as you have everything exposed, why not replace the tensioners, too? If the belts are old enough to be worn then itsn't it cheap and easy to replace the tensioners? One less headache in an interference engine.
Excellent Video...
What's with the right side timing belt being looser towards the top instead of looser where it's supposed to be at the tensioner 🤔
thanks for sharing ... seen a Goldwing on Craigslist that said it had a broken timing belt & they where selling the bike with 2 new timing belts for $600. wanted to see what it took to install new belts .... does a broken timing belt in a Goldwing cause damage to other parts when they break ? thanks again for the video.
+Cocoa Cabana yes it does so dammage and lots of it dont buy it may need a new engine
That bike is worth about 1000 tops if belts snapped. needs total overhaul or parts bike. I paid 300 for my bad engine goldie.
I have an 1982 GW 1100 that I am going to change the tensioners on and this has been a great help. I noticed the engine made a ticking sound and was wondering if that is normal as my 82 has just started doing that and the mech at Honda said it is nothing to worry about. He said the engine runs fine but I would not like a surprise in the mountains. Can you give me a clue what I should check to "calm myself" about this?
Thank You
Daniel Alioa
+Daniel Alioa my 82 makes a sound at low idle also but on the highway she runs great
My 84 ticks on the left side [as you're sitting on it] during idle.
@@rucebaybruce6174 same, tick went away when I upgraded my idle jets to a 40 and spaced my needle float (1986)
I just picked up an 84 Aspencade. It has a car alternator. CN you tell me why would someone do that? Thank You
lol you got the poor boy on your bike! Lucky find! It gets rid of the stator so its easier to repair and mroe reliable. Trying to get my hands on a poor boy conversion
how do you know if the bike needs new belts?
what happens when the belts fail?
You won't have warning generally. Failure can destroy or seriously damage the engine. The valves will be struck by the tops of the cylinders. You need to make sure they are changed are reasonable milage intervals or if they are excessively old.
great video..
good job sir want to help me do my gl1100? u make it look so easy i will even take most of it apart for you
How long does it take the average person to do this job?
Is this the same process for GL1000?
How often does this need to be done?
Why is he doing all that extra work I just remove the lower side front fairings off removed the bottom coolent drain bolt below the thermostat housing removed the bottom mounting bolts to the radiator and pulled it out placed a small block of wood in between frame and lower radiator housing and was able to obtain access to the timing belt case with more than enough clearance every time I've done this I work at a Honda Certified Honda GoldWing repair shop this is what we specialize in in Brandon Fl. ON Wings Of Gold
Easier for newbies to access things for sure. This is a DIY guide.
doesn't sound healthy around 17:10 exhaust leak or excessive valve train noise not trying to sound like a smartass just commenting thanks for your hard work and time making this video
nice video
Great video! Can you tell me how often the timingbelt would be changed please?
Isn't it a problem if the pulleys move ever so little, when the belt is off?
Not a problem if they are returned to the right spot when the belts are put back on. As long as the engine isn't turned over far enough to cause the pistons and valves to hit each other. That would take deliberate effort, so you won't be doing it just by bumping the cam sprocket. If you had to send the heads off to be decked or just cleaned up or needed new head gaskets, you could return them to the right spot using the marks on the engine, heads and cam sprockets.
What shade tree did they find this guy & I agree all that xtry stuff he took off & then runs the radiator across the front fender,would have been a good idea to change the hoses,he could have been done after he filled the radiator,don't guess I learned anything by watching this,LOL
+Roy Yasko yes i saw no reason to remove trunk covers side covers seat and gas cover tank to do the job but hey if it makes him happy have at it
he runs the largest goldwing forum in the world. whats your story? btw what he took off is neccecary to get this done. (you cant get to the seat unless you remove the saddlebag lids, you cant get to the faux tank unless you remove og the seat you cant get to the radiator cap unless you remove the faux tank........)
That's the problem with these big Gold Wings, if you want to do any maintenance work,
you have to take half the bike apart. It must be a nightmare having to repair a flat tyre.
ha ha that was cold..
i hear a honda 200 idling in the back ground
Wow I don't see any replies to questions !
I would have cleaned everything up ...before putting it back togrther
+Michael Moriarty why will just get dirty again
dont you have to change the belt tensioners like you do on a car???.... new belts is good... but if one of the tensioners bearings fail it wont help if you got new belts on...
change the springs
Sorry the GL1200 is a 1985
Owee
The NAPA 250274 belt 0nly had 87 teeth and would not work on my GL1200 aspencade it takes the NAPA 250070 belt
witch has 88 teeth the same as the Honda belt that was on the bike The NAPA 250274 belt will work on my GL1100 bike
The gates 5043 is the same belt as the gates T070 belt but the T070 is a lot cheaper. Both 88 tooth 33" x 3/4"
Why couldn't you just have timing "gears" instead of belts gear driven
That's a great shame. Turn the lights on and get the camera in focus. Sorry but this is a wasted opportunity.
