Wiseco Piston Kit

[Legend]

Hello all,

I am looking for anyone that has the wiseco 73.5mm 1100 kit in their bikes, my cylinders are in the machine shop right now, and they machinist is questioning how much will be left to the bore, and whether or not there will overheating issues with it.

Can anyone with experience shed some light on this for me?

Thanx in advance for your assistance.

What bike are you putting it in?

[Legend]

Going into an 81 GS1000.

You'll be fine.

The kits are designed to fit without taking too much material from the bore.
OTOH, you are going to be generating more heat, and might want to consider an aftermarket oil cooler. There is a member here who sells an adapter kit (IDK his screen name, perhaps someone else does).

look down a bit for a linky

<H2>What If I Have A 2-valve GS?

The answer is, you have to hook up a cooler via the oil-pressure switch cover (which lies on top of the crankcase behind the cylinder block). You can't use the plugged holes either side of the oil filter cover for the simple reason that there aren't any on the older 2-valve engines.

So what you need is an adapter plate like this:

If you'd like one of these oil cooler adapters, contact Terry and take it from there. He made the one in the photo above for my GS1000S, and it's a very neat bit of workmanship

Big Jay at APE said they don't sell them because it makes the liners questionably thin. The 73 mm kit is recommended though.

The 1085 kit is the standard big bore set up, I've been running mine for about 16 years without problems

Motor upgrades

As been said before, most owners go up to 1085 on the 1000 engine's so its not a big deal.
