Still trying to make 1 million miles then will drain all fluids and remove battery and put in man cave on its side covered with glass table top.Then will be able to remember all trips while having a drink.

Just a note have 1984 GL1200 sitting in garage for parts/restore make me an offer

Daaaammmmnnnnn. You have put as many miles on that one bike, as I have 20 something bikes, congrats on that and a well maintained friend for sure!

Any additives used in fuel, oil, rear drive, coolant?

 

[Oldgoldrider]

No just good oil Castrol diesel 20-50
and coolant for aliminium engines

 

[Oldgoldrider]

The only reason for using diesel oil is high detergent which keeps contaminants suspended in oil so no buildup of sludge in engine.
When i remove valve covers to adjust valve clearances engine is like new no yellow tinge everthing is like new.

 

[Oldgoldrider]

The only concern i would have is that if not done since new is that removal of buildups could cause excessive smoking because of excessive wear on internal parts.

Holy smokes! Very impressed with your devotion to that lucky machine. Here's to the next 136k miles and change. A million. Dang.

Rotella is all I've used in my 1800. Presently using Carquest diesel in the 1000. Your experience validates my practice.
