Well, I guess my time on the other gl forum is short as I will probably get banned. I had the lack of judgement to ask a question about why a reset of the ECM would be needed and i commented I thought it would be silly for a system to be like,this. I guess someone felt I questioned their judgement and expierence. I was just asking questions and hit a nerve. They said they were so done with the thread. I suggested they stop wearing their feelings in thier cuff and put thier big boy pants on. Jeeze. I still don't get why a modern computer controlled system would require a ECM reset for a air filter change. I know of no other vehicles that require this. Even my Stone Age harley FI does not require this.

Good luck with the other place and welcome to this forum. I am curious as well as to why this needs to be done to a sophisticated machine just for an air filter change.Dave - High up in Arizona - Black Metallic 2019 DCT

I have never had to reset the ECM on my Goldwing. I have done it from time to time, but have never seen any effect one way or the other.
In the early days of electronic engine controls on cars, especially GM products, we would disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the ECM's when a customer complained about minor problems like surges or erratic idle. I believe that the system on the Goldwing uses the reset just to establish a baseline for fuel mapping at idle. It is pretty a pretty old school system, so I can see why it might need to be done at times.

The only time a ECM on the GL1800 needs to be reset is if an owner or new owner discovered a rats nest on top of the air filter. and even then the bike would have a driveability issue.
If after the air filter was changed and it still had rough??
A ECM reset would be suggested so the FI system could rest itself, now that it could breath again.
Honda naturally isn't going to type in a service manual every possible reason out there why you'd need to do a ECM reset. So they said what they did to CYA. lol
I have never had to do a ECM reset in all the bikes I found with a nasty looking Air Filter in them. They ran smooth after the filter was changed.
In the end-it's your bike and you need to do what makes you feel better about when you work on your own bike. You're the only one that counts!Life is Tough, But It's Tougher If You're Stupid: "John Wayne"
