    3 cylinders?

    I changed my plugs today and when done, started the bike and it sounded pretty normal. I then , on a whim, unplugged a sparkplug cable, left rear, and there was absolutely no change.. all of the other cables when unplugged had an instant effect.... What's up with that? It seems to run fine on...

    Idle wanders a bit

    Is it normal for the idle to wander a bit? Seems like after riding for awhile my '87 will be idling a few hundred RPM too high, or too low. I keep a screwdriver handy and adjust, but...maybe there is a better solution?

    Oil Change DELO 400 SDE 15w-40 3.4 at a Oil Filter Change K&N 401 - Used old o-ring, the one in the box seemed thin. Added ATF to fuel. 1 oz per gallon of gas.

    Oil choice?

    Ok. So I just changed oil and filter. Used Delo 400 SDE 15w-40 and a K&N KN401 filter. The o-ring for the filter was pretty thin compared to the one already in, so I just reused the old ring for now. But...now I hear a slight ping at idle....did i use the wrong oil? It's 93 degrees here today.

    Gassy smell

    I just got my 2nd GL. The first was an 82, this one is an '87. After getting it home, I noticed it smells a little gassy, like the smell you get when you flood an engine. Toward the end of my ride home (about 80 miles) the bike kept stalling at lights. Started right back up though. It was even...

    '87 GL1200a

    So...I joined this forum several years ago, when I had my '82 GL1100, but haven't been around here since I let it go. But I'm back, having just purchased a '87 GL1200 Aspencade! My username is a bit skewed, because I moved to Oregon, but I'm still an Alaskan at heart. I loved all the help I...

    Horn Quit?

    Was honking fine, then is just not there. When I think back on it, the last time I can remember using the horn there was a moment of sputtery honking then a good honk at the guy that changed lanes right into me. But when I honked today there was nothing. I checked and all the lights are fine.

    Frightening experience

    A group of us on mixed bikes went for a short 50 mile ride out and back, and as everyone separated and went their own ways I was left riding with a friend, just the two bikes. He was on a 650 Ninja very pretty little black thing with 1,200 miles on it. He has only been riding for two summers...

    losing power on acceleration

    After I exited the highway onto surface streets my wing developed an issue. When I get on the gas it sounds like it is missing or flooding, but still seems to keep running. It sounds like it bogs down when I try to accelerate, whether I am at 40 or starting at a light. I thought maybe I had a...

    clicking sound?

    I am hearing a clicking sound when I ride with my helmet off. I can hear it when the bike is idling if I put my ear down by the engine. The thing is running great, and I am not even sure if this is a new sound or one that was there all the time and now I am just noticing it. It seems to be...
