Chassis/Suspension

• Linked Braking System (LBS) combined with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
• Anti-dive system minimizes front fork dive when braking. The system utilizes brake-fluid pressure generated in the secondary LBS master cylinder mounted on the left fork leg and is activated by input from either the front brake lever or the rear brake pedal. This application of anti-dive and LBS produces enhanced stability when maneuvering at both low speeds and highway speeds.
• Unique Pro-Arm® rear suspension.
• Final gearcase assembly design in the Pro-Arm eliminates wheel alignment splines and ensures accurate alignment of the rear wheel after servicing.
• Massive 45 mm front fork houses a cartridge damper in the right leg with 5.5-inches of travel for a smooth yet superb ride in all road conditions.
• Cast-aluminum 18 x 3.5-inch front wheel and 16 x 5.0-inch rear wheel are lightweight and strong. Radial touring tires are specifically engineered for the Gold Wing, providing a combination of excellent traction, cornering grip and long tire life.
• Computer-controlled adjustable hydraulic rear suspension preload is easily set by the rider with push-button controls, and features a two-position memory.
• Dual full-floating 296 mm front discs with Linked Braking System™ (LBS™) three-piston calipers and a single ventilated 316 mm rear disc with one LBS three-piston caliper provide excellent braking power.
• Unique driveshaft-damping system utilizes a double-pipe structure with a rubber-bonded coating applied to the inner pipe to absorb road shock and engine torque. The long-life design simplifies rear-wheel maintenance.
• Twin-spar aluminum frame.
• Inherently smooth flat-six-cylinder Gold Wing engine also serves as a tuned stressed frame member. The solid engine-mounting system utilizes specially designed hangers and carefully matched mounting bolts to provide both excellent road feel and minimal engine vibration.
• Pro-Link® rear suspension.
• Model equipped with ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator that provides rapid and precise braking-pressure adjustments, resulting in smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated ECU, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function and automatic protection against system failure.

Engine/Drivetrain

• Powerful, fuel-injected 1,832 cc six-cylinder engine produces smooth, effortless power--118 bhp and 125 ft. lbs. of torque--while surpassing the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards.
• Precise-shifting five-speed transmission includes Overdrive Fifth.
• Parallel two-valve cylinder-head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation and requires no 600-mile service; the first valve clearance inspection is at 32,000 miles.
• High-pressure-formed, sintered-iron Nickalloy crankshaft bearing caps provide quiet operation throughout the engine's operating-temperature range.
• Powerful 1,300-watt alternator uses a fluid damper system to minimize alternator noise.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI).
• Compact water pump is mounted behind the engine and is driven directly by the crankshaft, contributing to quicker engine warm-up.
• ECU closed-loop emissions system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
• Efficient stainless-steel six-into-two exhaust system produces a pleasing, aggressive sound.
• Engine cooling system features a series-flow coolant pattern that offers cold-start rideability and provides rapid engine warm-up.
• Sturdy eight-plate clutch with maintenance-free hydraulic-assist.
• Rotary Air Control Valve (RACV) maintains precise idle control under widely varying engine loads and operating temperatures.
• Silent-type camshaft chains with automatic adjusters provide reliable, maintenance-free operation.
• Low, forward engine placement and solid engine-mounting produce excellent road handling characteristics and impressive low-speed maneuverability.
• Two side-mounted radiators enhance cooling efficiency and use low-air-pressure areas created by side cowls to draw cooling air through the radiators and beyond the rider at highway speeds.
• Two 40 mm-diameter throttle bodies deliver air to six specially designed Keihin 50-psi high-pressure programmed fuel injectors (PGM-FI). Fuel is delivered through four nozzle holes in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible for optimum efficiency and power.
• The ECU provides two digital 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder and one digital 3-D ignition map for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb rideability. Unique knock-control sensors monitor ignition advance to improve performance throughout the entire rpm range.
