I ride an 81 Honda Silverwing GL500. I ride it because it was given to me by my father-in-law for free! Its in great shape and is perfect for a new rider. I got my license last April and it's been a great bike to learn on.

I just got a letter in the mail today. I went from paying $685/year down to $631/year. I have no idea why it went down, but I'm not complaining.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a heel shifter for my 81 Honda Silverwing Gl500? Do they even make them? I was at the motorcycle show yesterday and asked a few people, but nobody seemed to really know. Anyone here have one for sale? Thanks

Hey guys, I ride an 81 Honda Silverwing GL500. This will be my first full riding season and I've got a few long trips scheduled. I'm looking to get new grips to make the ride more comfortable. I really want grips with the little nob on the end so I can let go of the throttle without slowing...

I ride a used 81 Silverwing. I have never seen that manual. I think it was lost many, many years ago LOL. I actually just added Corunna to my profile today. Didn't think anyone would notice!

I took the m1 exit course in April. I think the instructors did a great job teaching me the basics. I had never been on a bike before that course. One thing I wish they had taught us during the course was how to do a proper pre-trip inspection to make sure the bike is safe. You know, like...

It doesn't seem to go up with engine speed. It doesn't seem to be engine related. It seems to go up with wheel speed, and as I slow down or come to a stop, the noise stops. I was told by a buddy who rides that it sounded like the bearings to him. Sounds like that will be the first thing I...

Hey guys, I know this will probably be hard to answer without actually hearing the bike, but does anyone know what could cause my 81 Honda gl500 Silverwing to make a humming sound while driving? I just noticed it yesterday. It's loud enough that if I concentrate I can hear it while riding...

I'm sure you've tried every place you could think of, but if you haven't tried Riders Plus, give them a call. I must have called 50 places before I finally called them. They were the cheapest by far!

I took the course at Learning Curves in Sarnia. I had never been on a bike before that weekend. The instructors were awesome. You are going to learn so much! Good luck.

I don't know what bike it is from. What I do know is that it is definitely not from an 81 Honda GL500 Silverwing.

I ride an 81 Honda GL500 Silverwing. I am the 3rd owner of this bike in my family. I would have thought the other 2 guys would have mentioned something about it lol

haha I guess it's me?

This might be a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. Am I going as fast on my bike as my speedometer says I'm going? If my speedometer says i'm going 80km/h am I going 80km/h or am I going slower than that. I told a guy who rides that I like to cruise at 100km/h on the highway. He...

Anyone else ever have a wasp or other insect try to kill them? I was cruising on my 81 Honda Silverwing when a wasp flew into my helmet. I was wearing a full face mask and sunglasses. I accidentally broke the visor off of my helmet the day before so I was riding without the visor. So...

As soon as I finished reading this, my M2 expired.

Hey, I'm a new rider too. Nice bike choices, but not my style! I ride a Honda Silverwing. I recently took the M1 exit course through Learning Curves. I thought they were amazing! I totally recommend them. I believe that part of their course includes free one on one coaching and a free 2nd...

Hey, I'm a fairly new rider here. I've only had my bike for about 3 months. Its an 81 Honda gl500 Silverwing. I got this bike from my father-in-law ready to go. An oil change was definitely done before I started riding this bike. Today I checked the tires, suspension, and fluids and...

Hey guys, it was the spark plugs for sure. We had a lot of rain here in 2 days. The wind had blown the cover off of my bike, and the rain got into it. I took the first spark plug out and there was water inside. I dried it out, put in new plugs, and it fired up. Thanks everyone!

My father-in-law is pretty handy with bikes. He agrees with you that it's probably the plugs. I'm going to buy new plugs tomorrow and he's going to stop by in the next few days and replace them. Hopefully that's all I have to do!
