I know my GS1100gk has a air cooled engine, so how long is it safe to have it runing but setting still while I working on it?

I would guess that depends largely on the ambient temp you're working in...
Best bet, use a fan aimed at the engine when working on it while running...'85 GS550L - SOLD

WOW! Who knew that HikerMikeM was the lord?
Now that he's revealed himself I'm going to be on my best behavior!
BTW, I agree with the lord's advice (I'd be crazy not to ... right?) that you use a fan to flow air past the engine. I was going to suggest that myself but hey ... you asked for the almighty's opinion and who am I to step on his toes?

I put a box fan between the front fender and the headers blowing air directly on the headers.
And yes my fan has header marks melted into it.
