Why does my Goldwing 1200 Charger not charge?
The 1200 charging system doesn’t charge until the RPM gets up over 2000, that is why it dies when the RPM drops off. Check the voltage at the battery with the engine running above 2000 rpm. Should be above 12.8 volts.

What causes Honda Gold Wing stator to burn out?
Q: My brother-in-law has a 1985 Honda GL1200 Gold Wing that’s been sitting in his garage for years. He used to ride it a lot, but one day the battery died. He replaced it and the new one died too. After awhile he heard about an issue with GL1200s that makes them burn out the stator. Replacing it involves removing the engine, so he parked it.
Are there any problems with the Honda Gold Wing?
It was frequently named the best touring bike in its time and still ranks as a bargain classic today. Some suffered from faulty stators, while others’ charging issues were traced to overheating of the stator wiring harness.
