  • In this video, I keep moving forward by rebuilding the rear air suspension for the Goldwing and reinstalling them on the bike. I also talk a little bit about other minor things here and there that I am fixing off camera, including a wobbly side stand and broken top case.
    The part number for the oil seals is 91257-MG9-671, the number for the bushings on top is 52484-292-000, and the number for the bushing on the bottom is 52489-461-771.

    Great video and thanks for the step-by-step on rebuilding the shock. I was just going to put on progressives. you made it look so easy

      yeah its really not too difficult of a job, as long as you stay clean and organized it should go smooth as you saw in the video. the hardest part is getting to the point where you can actually remove the shocks from the bike. these goldwings aren't exactly naked bikes lol. thanks for watching and good luck with your repair.

    Yer bro, good idea putting petroleum grease on bushing .that will destroy it in time. Should have been silicon grease

    would use some dish soap rather than grease for the bushings. Grease/oil may attack the rubber.

    Am thinking whould not be better put shock upside down fill first before putiing new seal back in and using damper oil insteed same as fork oil or is that atf fluid which is car automatic fulid .

    • @jamhandygarage380
      @jamhandygarage380  Месяц назад

      i don't see why you couldn't add the oil like that, it would probably be faster than the way i did it which was one low volume syringe at a time. i would imagine you might have to plug the hole at the top of the shock to prevent the loss of any fluid as you fill and handle the shock before it goes back on the bike. worth a shot i think.
      as far as the fluid, the reason atf was used is because the literature i have, the haynes manual, and most online sources say that atf is the correct fluid to be used. damper oil/fork oil would probably work just as well, it may be a bit thicker than atf but i dont think it would cause any harm. but again i used atf because thats what the book said.

      i got the parts off of adept powersports.com, the part number for the oil seals is 91257-MG9-671, the number for the bushings on top is 52484-292-000, and the number for the bushing on the bottom is 52489-461-771. I used just regular old ATF, nothing special

    Good job and how did you put the oil in the shock absorber ?

    • @jamhandygarage380
      @jamhandygarage380  8 месяцев назад

      I used a small plastic syringe to slowly add the atf into the air hole at the top. It is a tedious process but you get there in the end

      @@jamhandygarage380 Thanks for the info. Great help. Another question on filling with oil. Based on your experience, would it be possible to fill the rod assembly with oil, before assembly with the new seal? Thought it might save time and since that is where the oil goes anyway.

  • @donens9310
    @donens9310 Год назад +1

    Also, did you fill shocks right to the top with ATF?

    • @jamhandygarage380
      @jamhandygarage380  Год назад

      no i did not fill them right to the top, I filled them with a craft syringe to the level specified in the service manual, around 260cc if i remember correctly
