listen I have a 88 and it has 92 000 it smokes after not running for a few weeks and at initial start up for the season.
This engine is likely to have some wear at this point.
Will it affect performance not likely.
It is just old and ride her like shes old, these are a low rpm engine so shift quickly.
Look at the red line on a 1100 wing its like 9500 rpm you old wing redlines at 6500.
Treat her nice and she will do another 60000 before you need service.
Do be concerned about the carberator thats where your going to have a problem. Slide diaphrams are likely to fail..
