[dean33]

hey , i dont have the manual handy, but would like to check/change the air filter on a 1989 gold wing. Can any body give me an idea. How much of it do i have to take apart.

Went for a nice ride around the old locks of the Erie canal on saturday,400 miles there and back. didnt think i got that good of milage, my buddies on 1800s didnt get gas till i needed gas at 217 miles.

I had an '85, so I am not really sure how much is the same, but I would have to take off the cover to the center storage area (on the fake gas tank cover-thing), remove the storage tray, then you could access the top of the air filter cover.

It is not that bad remove cover for fake gas tank the anr a couple of plugs to unhook then you can lay it where the sear was there is a sensor on air box and about twelve screws to remove cover to air box.

i was just curious if the radio had to come out, I got the bike from my dad, and at the moment can seem to find the manual. just wanted some advise before i stated taking it apart. Thank you.

I owned an '89 and as I recall I had to unsnap the two cup-like pieces of plastic on either side of the steering head then remove the entire radio/console unit to gain access to the top of the airbox. The radio/console unit had a few fasteners and two hidden cam levers that needed to be rotated in order to lift the unit off of the rest of the body work. I also seem to remember a vacuum hose that was embedded into the airbox lid that required disconnecting prior to unscrewing about a dozen captive screws holding the lid on the airbox. Once the lid was removed the airfilter element just lifted out. Good luck.
