Howdy,
I am wondering if the inspection/access caps on the engine of a GL500 are interchangeable; I am referring to the cap that covers the port to set the Cam chain tension (aft of the cylinders) and the cap that covers the access to the crankshaft bolt (also for the Cam chain procedure). I wonder if the threading is the same and so forth. I would check by removing those on my bike, except the front cover is really deteriorated, so I might not be able to reinstall that if that cap is removed. I would want to have a replacement handy before proceeding, &c.
Thanks all.
