Gl1000 fuel filter
I changed my fuel filter from stock clear plastic Honda type filter to Randek metal filter.
Was wondering if anyone has had fuel starvation at sustained 80 to 90 mph?
Works fine at 4500 rpm and lower. New fuel pump, recent pistol Pete (son) carb rebuild.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
Try switching back to a plastic one and see if there is a difference. Never used one of those filter so can’t comment. Is it clean and assembled correctly flow wise?

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
I should have done that before implying randakks filter.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
Have those filters on all 3 of the wings.
No starvation issues but sustained 80 + very rare for me.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
Can't speak to the flow characteristics of the aforementioned filter, but I have a cheapo clear AutoZone filter in my 1000. Never had any starvation issues. Including a fair number of sustained high speed runs on dark desert highways.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
No starvation problems....but....when we were at Deadwood, I noticed a fuel leak on my wife's 750 Shadow. It turned out to be a semi-disintegrated Randakk filter. The chrome had disappeared inside the fuel line and the pot metal underneath was turning to dust. Scraped the nasty off, reassembled and stopped the leak. Just a heads up.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
I once had on that was plugged due to a poorly coated gas tank but when clean the bike would sustain 100 mph plus. Unless it has a bunch of crud I really doubt it is the issue.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
Interesting. I have a Randakk fuel filter that I've never used (with 2 tanks I wanted matching filters) but mine doesn't appear to be chromed. It may be anodized but the finish is not as bright as in the pics on GoldWingDocs.
I wonder if the people who have had that problem had water in their fuel?

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
Replaced with plastic Honda filter and soaked gas cap. Seemed to fix problem.

Re: Gl1000 fuel filter
I have the similar filter on my bike, in fact I sell them too but not a chrome version for the same reason as Gowing found. Anodised verions are fine. I have run mine at 90 for miles with no starvation problems. Noting that you soaked the gas cap; blocked vent was more likely your problem.
