Hi everyone
First off....thank you all for reading this as I am sure the questions I am about to pose have, I am sure, been asked a million times and your patience is greatly appreciated. So you have my sincerest gratitude ahead of time..../salute
As said in the introduction forum where I first posted I have had crotch rockets all my life and this is my first Gold Wing. A friend of mind who has had several suggested I get an 1800 but I have to say that when I first laid eyes on the two tone red 2000 SE it was love at first sight.
The bike has been meticulously maintained by the original owner who has a folder of all he has done with the bike including receipts of oil changes every 3000 kilometers. The bike has 142,000 kilometers on it but he has not done the timing belt which is the first on my list of things to do as Honda recommends 80,000 miles which is roughly 142,000 kilometers. The Steering head bearings were done 3000 kilometers ago. The gear oil was done at 100,000 kilometers and the shaft re-greased also at the same time. I had my local Honda dealer check the alternator for capacity and to confirm the bearing was good. He thought she was one of the best maintained Gold wings he had seen in a long time...so....
Anything else I should look at or change out?
Appreciate any feedback and your time is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Rod
