How do you adjust points on a 1983 Gold Wing 1100?

Answer 1

The clutch on a 1984 Honda Goldwing GL1200 is hydraulic and is not adjustable. There is a slave cylinder for the clutch located behind the engine that must be bled to eliminate air in the system. This air (or old fluid) can cause the clutch lever to engage at the end of it's arc of travel.

If you have a stock cable you need a 9/16 and a 1/2 in. wrench. about 1/2 way downn the cable there is a rubber boot. pull the rubber boot over the adjustment. Loosen the liock nut and adjust the cable so you have aprox 1/8 to 1/16 in. slack in the handle. Re tighten the lock nut and pull the rubber back over the adjustment.

The above answer is only half of the job. You need to remove the derby cover and loosen the jam nut after you loosen the cable as above. then turn the adjuster screw til the handle stops moving and back off a half turn and tighten jam nut. Now adjust barrel til there is 1/8 inch play in the cable housing at the perch. tighten jam nut on barrel and grease the threads and replace the boot. replace derby cover gasket and install derby cover

I have a 77 xlch. On mine the is a hex cover you remove on the primary side. There should be a nut inside with a slotted screw inside of it. Back off on the nut and adjust the slotted screw to the right tension. Be careful to not back the nut completely. Adjustments are also needed at the threaded portion of the cable itself. I hope this helps. If you still have questions email me cdmontes21@Yahoo.com. Im not a tech but learned as I went
