its been a while since ive been here. Ive had my GL1100 for a few years now and have put on about 12000 miles on it. Its been relatively problem free since I overhauled the whole bike. Its fun to ride and quit different from my Harleys which is a nice change from time to time. I kept it with original mufflers etc.
I did recall at some point that members said you could not run 20/50 in these bikes because it would make the starter hang up. I don't recall exactly how or why this was the argument. However I can say that for the last 2 years now I have been running Amsoil 20/50 and have had No such issues. I live in FL and ride year round so ride in 40 degree and 100 degree weather. I found it easier to run the same oil in all 3 of my bikes.
Can someone chime in here and let me know what the issue was with the 20/50?
