In this video I show how to do a complete fluid change on the forks of my GL 1500, I explain what oil to use and how much is needed. Produced with CyberLink PowerDirector 21
This was the best video as you were always telling us what exactly you were doing and the camera was always on target. I have a 97 Wing SE and nobody here works on the Wings. Two thumbs up to YOU. Keep the info coming Please.

I recently acquired a 95 GL1500SE and found a few things loose or missing when putting new tires on. So, I'm doing fork springs and oil today. I've done this job on other bikes without fairings. Found your video helpful for future oil changes.

I glad my video is helpful, that was the point because I struggled to find anything like it on KZitem, so I decided to make one to help others.

Yes! I agree 👍 I have a '90 trike I'm learning a lot about it but nothing about the fork oil getting replaced, when it needs to be replaced, how to replace it, etc.......

What is that button that the brake caliper push inside the fork, just up the drain bolt? I saw you pushing the caliper against it. I checked that on my forks, but is very stiff to go in.

Sorry I just noticed your post. It is an anti dive device built into the forks. They are stiff but they should move some just by pressing them. If there too stiff or too lose they may need to be rebuilt.

Okay guys, I need help with from someone who has more knowledge on these bikes than I do. I have an 88 without the valves on the caps. Does this mean that for this particular year, they did not have air in the forks? If they do have air….how do you fill it back up once you make the change or oil or spring etc.?

To my knowledge if you don't have the air valves on the caps you don't have to worry about adding air because it don't use air. Some models (the interstate model) are simple systems that don't require air. On mine (an SE ) it has air ride front and rear. Although I know some prefer to remove the air ride for a simpler suspension setup. I like the air ride and am looking to upgrade my rear system to full air ride, removing the stock rear spring suspension. You will however, have to remove the caps to add the oil thought.

After doing this did you notice a difference in ride quality?

Yes most definitely a much smoother ride. I have noticed that having proper air pressure in the forks that's equal makes a big difference too. I usually have about 3 psi in each and I weight 220 lbs. Makes handling at slow speeds (below 15 mph) easier too.

This is a slow speed step by step instruction for people that may have never changed the fork oil. Besides that's what the slider is for for more advanced individuals.

Honda does not make their own lubricants. All I'm going to say.
