I just purchased a 1985 Gold Wing 1200 CC Anniversary edition.
I have driven it approximately 300 KM. When hot I get pinging and engine noises like a loose piston? I had the oil/filter changed when I bought it. After the first 100 KM I had to add a little oil as it was down a bit. Yesterday when I returned from a 60 KM ride when I pulled it into the garage and turned it off I had oil smoke coming out from just behind the rad area. Also when it is hot, if I turn it off it seems very laboured to restart. Engine turns over slowly.
The bike has 83,000 KM ( 50,000 miles)on it. Looks and runs great. Am I in for an engine overhaul? If so, what might this cost me? Thanks for any help.
