Just now starting to set up my new/old 1980 G5 for daily riding. It was suppozed to be a display unit with 10, yes 10 miles on it! I haven't looked into the engine of this time machine yet but some things are kinda intreresting.
Everything on this bike seems to be unmolested for 30 years. I'm hesitatnt to be the one to molest it but I sure don't wanna destroy it by starting it up and having a 30 year old bearing sieze...
One is the battery. It's dry but not corodded. hmmm The plugs looked like the bike ran a little so maybe the battery IS original.
Kinda cool in a museum sorta way... if you like that sorta thing.
My guess is that this thing is gunna require every seal, and most bearings.
