Okay, Airheads are great. BUT. These motorcycles are 25-40 years old now.
What items should be suspect for replacement simply because of age and not necessarily mileage?
Seals, especially engine seals like the rear main seal- how likely are they to become hard with age?
Clutch plates, do these retain their properties with age?
Rubber parts, obviously.
What else?
If I pull my gearbox of my '91 to fix the retainer clip problem, should I also replace the rear main seal and the clutch plate even if it looks good???
