[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1180451, member: 84694"] I had a '75 (the original) Gold Wing, which I bought in '75 as a new bike. It definitely would burp out a bit of oil smoke from the left exhaust when started up after being parked on the side stand. I took to using the center stand exclusively - for awhile. It turns out the center stand was not design/tested for constant use. After breaking 2 of them (fatigue at the root of the lever arm used to put the stand down), I went back to using the center stand only for maintenance and lived with the bit of oil smoke on start up. Oh, and if your center stand lever breaks as you're putting it down, the bike goes down. [/QUOTE]
