Do Honda 1200 cc smoke after sitting on side stand if so for how long?
Ed
Honda GL1200 will smoke when restarted(sometimes very large cloud) after being parked on sidestand. The reason is that the flat 4 motor has 2 cylinders angled downward when bike is not upright. Old BMW riders have a similar characteristic and usually park the bike on the centerstand to reduce this concern.size of smoke cloud varies between bikes depending oil vicosity,level and wear, where the ring ends line up on the piston also factors in. smoke cloud does not indicate a problem with the motor,bikes with very good commpression will smoke also Park the bike on the centerstand if the smoke will cause embarrassment!

How do adjust valves for 84 Honda goldwing 1200?
please help how to adjust valves for 84 Honda golwing 1200 cc thanks
Motorcycle Goldwing 1500 GL when do you know if your oil valve seals are worn?
Just like the 1200, the valve seals tend to leak a little oil in the cylinders while the bike is on the side stand. After the bike sits for a while, when you start it, you will see a small puff of blue smoke, does not last long, then its gone. One way I found around this is when mine is parked in the garage on the side stand over nite, I have the side stand sitting on a piece of 2x8. Lets the bike stand a little bit straighter. No oil leaks from the seals this way. On the other hand, if your seals are really finished, you will lose oil all the time, and have blue smoke all the time.
