Hello All - question: starting valve check/adjustment on my '81 1000g. When I removed the cam cover, there is oil standing in 4 of the "pockets" where the cam lobes and buckets reside - and not just a little, like almost full. Is this OK? Bike runs good, no leaks, good oil pressure, etc. Just checking the valves as a routine maintenance thing - and saw this when I lifted the cover. Shouldn't this drain back? Thanks for your time and help. Byron

No worry. It's supposed to be there. It's one of the reasons the 2 valve GS engines have such great durability.Ed
To measure is to know.

Use some paper towel to soak some of it up if your worried about it spilling and running down the fins. I soak it out when i do adjustment checks as I dont really want to swim in oil doing the job.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment
