    Eck dont you have a phone to wash, wait you already done that (a couple times). the reason they leave goldwings alone is they can't get under the tupperware:stirthepot:

    I installed a odyssey 680 in my 76 gl 1000 goldwing 7 years ago it sat all winter with no charger and it will starts right up . best battery i ever bought and will buy one for my 87VR when it needs a new one. As for the deka i need to know more info and how long will it last. going on 8 years on the odyssey so it would have to out last that to get me to buy one.

    Well im thinking you must be harley brain washed . i have a friend who bought two harleys in 2010 and i have rode both one is a fat boy and the other a sportster,both seemed to ride ok but i like my 87 first gen better for handling. i have owned five harleys and the new ones are way better than them, but on my friend and his wifes third ride on these bikes me and another friend had to stop and pick up a tail light cover that fell off the fatboy and five miles later picked up the chrome coil cover off the sportster. when we pulled up to him at the next stop and held up the parts he wanted to know whos they were and the look on his face when we said they were his he could not beleave us until he got off and seen for himself. mind you i am not bashing anyone for what they ride,but just know what works for me . my friend likes his harleys we just have to pick up parts sometimes. too much vibration for this old guy.

    I bought a odyssey about 7years ago and put it in my gl 1000 goldwing and sold the bike to a friend 4 years ago when i bought my 87 VR and the wing still has the same battery in it and it starts up every time. bought it for $84.00 at that time, and that was money well spent. In my 87 vr i use a battery tender on it during the winter for 4 years with out a problem. i had another charger that worked ok but the battery tender brand works much better. I also like the non acid batteries better, no acid to get on anything.

    And this is why i bought a phone that can be used as a hot spot to conect to my wifi system on my netbook . had too many problems like freebird. no more problems .If the hotel conection dont work i use my hot spot on my phone and problem solved.
  15. capn eddie
    If you go back to post #16 i had same problem took conector off relay cleaned blue/white wire pins and that fixed mine also. if you run the other wire to solenoid like frankd said be sure to have bike out of gear because it will start in any gear just like mine does. glad you got it working. I have not had any problems from mine since doing this, but still have backup system hooked up just in case it happens again.

    i also have the atrix phone and really like it. matter of fact i am posting this with it now,i like the mobile hot spot works great or you can use any att wifi spots and not use up your data . I like not having to tether the phone to netbook so this will work good on bike trips

    with that mileage it 's time to replace the bearings, knocking is most likely old bearings have loosened up so while your going to take it apart to check it you should replace the bearings. dingy sells a tool to tighten the bearings with a tourk wrench that works great i have one myself

    Sorry about you bike hope you get your money back from insurance co. I had that happen 6 years ago and i will never park my bike in the street ever again. Two years ago after painting my bike the little girl next door took a bunch of rocks and put them on the seat and top of tank cover scratching the paint, her parents paid to get it repainted and were not to happy with her. the little girl won't even come close to my yard , i think she was grounded for a month. Good luck and i hope everything turns out ok.

    Captainjoe, let these wing guys have there fun but you and i know they will get theres when they take there bikes in for service and it takes a day just to get the plastic off so they can get to the air filter :whistling:

    I had this happen early this year, same as yours stopped and would not start. checked solenoid by jumping it and it would start ,found out that blue/white wire was the problem. traced that wire from starter switch to a relay up in fairing above headlight and it had power going into relay but not out, cleaned plug going to relay and that took care of the problem. check it out i bet that is where your problem is at. by the way i now have run another wire off of the starter switch on the blue/ white wire then to a on/off switch then to solenoid just in case . if you add this the motor will turn over with the key in the off pos and if in gear the bike will move, that is why you need the on/off switch.hope this helps solve your problem (power going into relay but not out of relay)
