2003 HONDA GOLDWING, Unique Gold Wing Features · Powerful fuel-injected 1832cc six-cylinder engine produces smooth, effortless power--125 lb./ft. of torque--while exceeding the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards. · Beautiful multi-box-section aluminum dual-spar frame and Pro Arm single-side cast aluminum swingarm set new class standards for handling. · State-of-the-art audio system with optional CD player. Engine · The exhaustively tested 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine provides effortless power. · Low, forward engine placement and solid engine mounting produce excellent road handling characteristics and impressive low-speed maneuverability. · High-pressure-formed, sintered iron Nickalloy crankshaft bearing caps provide quiet engine operation throughout the engine's operating temperature range. · Parallel two-valve cylinder head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation; the first valve clearance inspection is at 50,000 kilometres. · Silent-type camshaft chains with automatic adjusters provide reliable, maintenance-free operation. · 6.9-litre airbox supplies a large volume of cool, clean air to the engine. · Two 40mm-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 tips in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible, for optimum efficiency and power. · Electronic control unit (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. · ECU-controlled, closed-loop emission control 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. · Rotary Air Control Valve (RACV) provides auto-choke function and maintains precise idle control under widely varying engine loads and operating temperatures. · Compact water pump is mounted behind the engine and is driven directly by the crankshaft, contributing to quicker engine warm-up. · Engine cooling system features a
