[QUOTE="ljurgens, post: 199724, member: 5279"] Hello, New member here from the La Crosse WI area. I have recently taken possession of a 1983 GL1100 Interstate that just happened to be my father-in-laws bike years ago. He had bought it new and then sold it 10 or so years ago. I contacted the current owner and he decided to give the bike to me to get it back in the family. I am unsure yet what my project outcome will be, but I am leaning toward removing the plastic and going Naked :) So, I have no idea what maintenance has been performed, and the bike has 200,325 miles on it. Bought a new battery and she fired up pretty quickly but isn't running super smooth. Lots of debris shot out of the pipes when she coughed to life. Please point me to the forum pages I should start with to get a handle on what I have and what I need to do maintenance wise before I dig any deeper. I think my plan is to tear her down to the frame and clean , paint and polish everything and then replace bearings, timing belts, gaskets etc. Since she ran, do I need to dig any deeper than external gaskets like valve covers and water pump etc.? Planning on replacing fuel filter and all fuel and water hoses as well. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
