2001 – 2002 GL1800/GL1800A Rear Tire Inspection Service Bulletin
This service campaign includes all 2001 GL1800 Gold Wing models and certain 2002 models. A small percentage of the original equipment rear tires installed on these models could have been damaged during the factory assembly process. As a result, the tire bead may not seal properly against the rim. This condition will allow slightly faster than normal air pressure loss. An under inflated tire may cause abnormal wear patterns and can overheat the tire causing the tread to crack. Normally, tires in good condition may lose one to two psi per month if not checked and adjusted regularly.
