OK...a recent posting about replacing exhaust valves at a certain mileage/age got me thinking about putting up this post as a sticky so we ( and future ) owners can refer to it when applicable. We read lots (mostly American - and OTT in many cases) about the common problems on these bikes but in this forum have a large amount of the UK airhead/GS owners, so lets pool our knowledge collectively
So, for example, could forum members ( and no theories/web links please, just facts that have happened to you ) who have actually had paralever shafts fail...where did you get the repair/cost/mileage/who etc etc
Same for valves or head re-builds; diode boards; gearboxes; alternator/rotors; wiring harnesses etc etc..you get the drift
I put this up as I've never had a gearbox fail or even a rotor, yet many have !!
This will be an excellant record of UK gs's for members new and old to refer to in the future
