Just picked up a 2001 gl1800 with 20k, the former owner was military I was told so he didn't ride it much. The first few tanks of mostly city riding I am getting 38-40mpg, is this normal?
The exhaust smells like rotten eggs, kind of like when a cat is going bad. I changed out the mufflers because of some surface rust and noticed the pipes were black and sotty inside.
Could the oxygen sensors be going bad? With todays gas I would not be surprised. Other than that the bike runs great, it does have some valve noise but it was supposedly serviced at the dealer were I bought it.
