Checking The Sensor Gap; Installing The Control Switch - Honda Goldwing GL1200 Installation Manual

Place the sensor assembly on the swing arm so that the locating
tags sit in either side of the swing arm and tighten the new pinch
bolt. Observe the bracket as you tighten the bolt. It should just
contact the weld on the end of the swing arm If the bracket
bends significantly while the bolt is being tightened, you will
need to install more washers. If the bracket does not contact the
swing arm, remove washers until the bracket contacts the swing
arm.
Tighten the axle pinch bolt to 27 N.m (19 ft.lb)

Checking the sensor gap.

Check the clearance between the face of the magnet and the face
of the sensor. The gap should be 3~6mm (1/8"~1/4"). This can
be checked by passing twist drills between the magnet and the
sensor.
If the gap is too large, add washers between the bracket and the
sensor. If the gap is too small remove washers between the
sensor and the bracket. If this does not give enough range of
adjustment, the bracket can be bent to achieve the correct gap.

Installing the control switch.

The control switch is mounted on a bracket that sits between the
bottom faces of the clutch lever assembly mounting clamp.
Replace the clutch assembly clamp with the switch bracket
between the bottom faces of the clamp. The wires from the bikes
switch block can be routed either side of the switch bracket. The
photo shows the wires covering the bracket.
Tighten the bottom screw first, then the top screw. Check that
there is a small gap between the top faces of the clamp. If there
is not, make sure that the clutch lever is securely clamped to the
handlebar. If not remove the clamp and file off some more
material.

Remove the two screws that secure the clutch lever assembly clamp
to the handlebar and remove the clamp.
File 1.0 ~ 1.5mm (0.040"~0.060") from the bottom face of the
clamp. The easiest and quickest way to do this is by mounting the
clamp in a vice using soft jaws or a rag and use a flat file to remove
material from the bottom face. The new surface must be flat, and
parallel to the original surface.
