I have a 1985 Honda gold wing interstate that I

I have a 1985 Honda gold wing interstate that I just change oil in and it was creamy looking so I put new in it start it up let run a min then pulled the dip stick out and it still looks creamy. What could be cause of this? I'm not losing any water. When I first changed the oil it had a strong gas small to it and the guy I got it from said it ran hot on him then he pulled over to let it cool down then he went him and he said some guy said it needed a thermostat so I pull the one on the bike now off and its just the housing it has nothing inside it so I have a new one on the way.. so what could make the oil look creamy

I guess you will have to reset the air-mixture screws of the carburator/s.
Not bad if you check the condition of the spark plugs...if its ..'Whitish' means lean i.e. less gas in, Brownish...means ok, 'Blackish'...means too much gas in .....'rich'
In your bike's case you may find it 'whitish'.
Hope this helps !

84 to 89 1200s goldwings have a pulse generator


1984 models have the PGs at the back of the engine. The engine has to come out to get at them, or I think you can pull the swingarm instead.
From 1985 the PGs are under the timing belt covers. Still not the easiest to get at.

1985 honda goldwing 1200 oil seems to be leaking from timing belt cover thinking maybe crank shaft gasget?

Most likely it is a valve cover gasket. There is a cam seal underneath the cam belt timing gear that is easy to replace (I have replaced two of those when the same leak appeared.The seal is part #28. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1985-honda-gl1200i-gold-wing-interstate/o/m2346#sch18022 Worst case scenario the crankshaft seal has begun to leak. It is easily replaced once you have taken off the covers, belts, and center belt sprockets. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1985-honda-gl1200i-gold-wing-interstate/o/m2346#sch16246 The seal is part #13 http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1985-honda-gl1200i-gold-wing-interstate/o/m2346#sch17585

I have a 1985 Honda Gold Wing GL1200 LTD. (60K Miles) The bike was just tuned up. It idles great. When I ride it for 10 minutes or so, it begins to boog and act up. Any Suggestions?

Are the plugs new since the tune up? Are they fouled already? They should be light brown on the white ceramic part. If you let it idle for 10 minutes does it run oddly?

My 1985 Honda 1200 started to lose power when under heavy load, miss fires. Is there a diagnostic test that will show if there is a weak ignition coil. Replaced spark plugs with some improvement.

My first Gold wing ran like junk all the way home from the dealer. When I got home I took the new spark plug caps out of my pocket and put them on the ends of the wires and started it up. It was now quiet and smooth and I could not figure out why I had not changed them at the dealer. Before you do anything else , spend $20 on a set of NGK spark plug caps. They just screw on to the ends of the wires. It is probably all you need.
