on it .The bike has been parked in doors since 1999. should I replace the
timing belt. ANY help would would be appreciated Thanks John  

Answer
Hi John,

Trace and test the neutral light circuit for voltage and continutiy.

It may be a good idea to replace the timing belts, especially if you do not know the history of maintenance for this GL.
