gl1000 oil leak after using sidestand

[garryo]

I am rebuilding my gl1000 and have been told that engine could blow smoke after being on the sidestand. is this true and of so can I prevent this during engine rebuild?

Bad valve stem seals can allow oil to enter the cylinder/s when leaning to the left.

It depends on where the valves fnish up when you turn the motor off.

The bikes can blow a little smoke on startup if left for a period on the sidestand and the valves are in the open position, and you have bad valve stem seals.

It gose away pretty quickly - not a problem in most cases.

Right. If it is bad enough that you are burning a lot of oil, it means the valve stem seals need to be changed. But for the most part, it is more of an annoyance than anything else.

Normal and nothing you can do to prevent it. Read #1 from Honda in June '75.

I found with mine, as long as I let the bike get to operating temperature, it gives the rings time to warm up and seat and doesn't leak oil into the exhaust. If I fire it up just to move it and let it sit, it smokes every time.
