1983 R80ST Replace Connecting Rod Crankshaft Bearings, Measure Crankshaft Journal
Since this bike sat for more than 25 years and I found water in the oil pan, I replaced the connecting rod bearings. The bearings were in good condition and the crankshaft journals were not rusted and were well within specifications, so that was a relief. I replaced the bearing shells anyway rather than reuse the original ones that had 64,000+ miles on them.
You can read about how I do this work and see a short summary video here.
