I devour every one of your films - they are absolutely perfect. This is a treasure trove of knowledge about Gl1000. The highest words of appreciation and respect for the quality of your work, knowledge and skills. Thank you for all the materials - not only those about GL 1000. Greetings from Poland. Jacek
Got a new neutral switch to fit to my GL1000 which I believe is a engine out job but had heard it was possible to screw the top out in situ and clean the carbon off the contacts which will fix the neutral light staying on all the time so it was good to see this 👍
Hey, i highly advise you to replace the starter clutch rollers while the engine is out, its really common for them to get gummed up and stuck, either engaged, that will burn up the starter motor, stuck disengaged and make a horrible screeching sound My starter clutch on my 79 just got stuck disengaged, and i will be pulling the engine out to repair it
Very good information, I wish the videos on the GL dropped sooner. Can’t wait for the next one. I picked up my 77 GL and the engine is stuck from sitting so hopefully can get it to move. Also looking into getting a parts bike to make it easier for spares. Only paid $250 g F or the 77. Good thing I like a challenge.
I try to get 2 videos a week up on UA-cam but at the moment I'm waiting on parts. As the sun has finally made an appearance in the UK I'm also busy in the garden at present. Hopefully normal duty will be resumed soon :-)
yeah I must agree with the other two comments so informative,,, I am very wary about doing anything to mine,,as I have no clue of what I,m doing,,, you sir are my foute of all knowledge,,thanks

Glad you're enjoying the channel and thanks for commenting.
...did someone just spray paint this engine housing and all the bolts, and some of the cables, in silver?
The engine casing has been previously sprayed including the bolts. The cables have grey/silver outers on them.
