The belt tension is set by starting with the crank pulley at the T1.2 mark and the words “up” on the cam pulleys facing up. Rotate the crankshaft 90 degrees clockwise from that point, then 90 degrees counter-clockwise back to the T1.2 mark. This will put the belt slack at the tensioner pulleys. Tighten the tensioner bolts, then check the slack without moving the crankshaft. If the procedure in the service manual is followed, the belts will not be too tight. However, if one decides to “help” the tension springs by applying additional pressure by hand, I guarantee you the belts will sing. I’ve never seen anyone actually attempt to measure the slack by pushing with a 4.4 pound force, though I suppose a spring scale might work. Good results can be obtained by simply placing a ruler next to the belt and pushing on the belt with moderate force until deflection stops—5mm isn’t much. Cassette Tape Stuck in 1990 GL1500 SE Stu, your “Workbench” section in Wing World is one of the best tools in my box! I have a 1990 GL1500 SE. A cassette tape is stuck in the deck and the door does not open, but the radio works. Someone on the Internet mentioned to try the 5-amp back-up fuse. Obviously I would want to try the fuse first, but if that doesn’t work then I would try removing the radio. Can you e-mail me back and publish the procedure for replacing the 5- amp fuse and un-installing the radio and dismantling it to remove the old jammed cassette tape out of the deck Thanks. Barry Morrison GWRRA #170564 Valley Cottage, New York Barry, the fuse is in the lower left corner of your relay box, but I doubt replacing it will solve your problem. If the radio keeps its station presets when the key is switched off, that back-up fuse is okay. Radio disassembly is not covered in any Honda service literature and it’s not for the faint-of-heart, so you’d just have to begin removing chassis screws and carefully remove the radio’s panels until the cause of the stuck tape is found. Personally, I wouldn’t monkey around with one of those radios in the condition yours is in. Rather, I’d sent it to Sierra Electronics for repair and a tune-up. ● 38 Wing World
N E W S • B R I E F S Brad & Cheryl Meadows Receive Meritorious Award Brad & Cheryl Meadows recently received the Executive Director’s Meritorious Award. They have dedicated most of their GWRRA lives to teaching motorcycle safety, and have used their knowledge and experience to further the Rider Education Program in Indiana. Members since 1988, Brad & Cheryl have held Operations Division positions with GWRRA ranging from Assistant Area Representatives to Chapter Directors, but their true talent showed in the Rider Education field where they eventually became Senior Indiana District Educators, MSF Instructors and Seminar Instructors. Under the solid leadership of Brad & Cheryl, the Indiana District has seen astounding growth in all areas of the Rider Education Program. In 1999, when Brad & Cheryl joined the District Educator staff, Indiana had 574 Members participating in the Rider Education levels program. As of October 2006, the number of Members in the levels program was over 1,000. In that same period, Indiana recorded 44 Master Tour Riders; today there are approximately 190 Masters. Brad has been nicknamed the “Master Craftsman of Southern Indiana” for the birdhouses that he builds.They are a prized possession in Indiana and hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars have been raised and donated to Rider Education from the sale of birdhouses. Brad is also well known for his stand-up comedy routines at GWRRA functions. Brad & Cheryl Meadows hold their Executive Director Meritorious Award. Present along with Brad & Cheryl are John Kuehl, Indiana District Educator; Butch & Margaret Micheau, Indiana District Directors; Tom & Sandy Taggart, Region D Directors: and Lori & Mike Stiger, Region D Educators. A-MAZ-ing Team Challenge Debuts at Billings GWRRA is introducing a new riding challenge to the membership this year. Conceived to be an event to attract both individuals and teams of riders, the A-MAZ-ing Team Challenge is a timed competitive event ridden in what looks like a maze. It involves riding a straight-away, right and left turns, a couple of 360-degree circles, a cone weave, stopping in a box after the timed run and a lot of fun. It is open to all levels of ability—it can be easy for the novice rider and humbling for the more advanced rider. Proper riding gear is required. Teams can have from two to six riders, with the two best times combined for the final score. Each team member is allowed to ride the course one time only for recorded time. Anyone is eligible to ride the individual competition. Every entrant is allowed one “free” ride for official time; thereafter, every entrant is allowed to ride the course for official timing as often as he/she desires. However, after the first “free” ride, each ride thereafter will cost $1. Proceeds from all extra rides will be donated to the Ride For Kids®. Cheering sections and/or cheerleading squads are encouraged. 30th Anniversary T-Shirts On Sale Now Check out the classy and inexpensive 100-percent cotton GWRRA 30th Anniversary T- Shirts now available through our “Official Products” pages and on our website.

Mississippi District Rally 2007 Planned for October All rumors to the contrary, GWRRA’s Mississippi District will have a Rally in 2007! The theme is “Touring the Tropics,” so you’re invited to come to Biloxi, Mississippi, and do the “Honda Hula” on October 11-13, 2007. As the Mississippi District Director says, “Katrina knocked us down but didn’t knock us out!” For more information, visit www.gwrrams.org.
