good video, and this shows we don't need a dealer for this.

I had to replace my alternator on my 2007 Goldwing. That bottom screw was a bugger to get out but during re-installation (with the tank out), I was able to install & torque all the alternator bolts using 3 interconnected wobble socket extensions attached to a torque wrench located in the rear wheel well behind the swing arm.

i don't even know if others make them, but the amount of work to get in there to change it makes me think i should buy the best and never have to go back in.@@seatime674

now the altenator is a different story as it can be changed without too much trouble so an aftermarket part would be ok but i have heard poor performance stories on them also.@@seatime674

My motorcycle heats up very quickly at low speed, I have already changed the cap, coolant, checked the fans and changed only the thermostat but I still haven't changed the pump, do you think it is necessary? my mechanic never made that recommendation, I don't know if he did it in order to get paid for the job again

when my water pump failed it made a high pitched squealing noise at low rpm. The GL1800's will overheat in traffic conditions espectially when they are below 22 mph the air flow at these speeds is blocked because the fans are blowing forward and the movement of the bike is trying to force it the other direction until you get to 23 mph and fans turn off. this is what some call (parade mode) I have seen it twice happen on my bike and I just know to either turn it off in traffic or get off that road as quickly as possible to get the air flowing properly.

Great video. How did you know the pump was failing and how many miles did you have on the bike when you changed the pump?

Hi, thanks for watching, about 90,000 miles. it makes a high pitched squeeling noise at idle, not loud but steady until you rev it up and noise goes away. when the seal starts to leak it will leak into the crankcase so when you hear it change it soon..................JB..
