    1000cc Engine Rebuild Guide

    Hi Guys,
    the search function doesnt seem to be working at the moment, so here i go.
    Does anyone have a link to a rebuild of a 850 or 1000cc 8 valve engine?
    Im mainly after the top end, just to have a reference as i go along.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Your best bet would be to download a factory service manual.

        Thanks Mate, i do have one.
        Just thought there might be a guide similar to others on Basscliffs site for fork and carb rebuilds e.t.c.
        I thought it would be good to have a first hand experience to refer to as well as the factory manual.

          There's a few on here, I'm sure I've seen them. If I can find them I'll post it up.

              This one looks pretty decent. It's a smaller engine but it's still an 8 valve, will pretty well be the same thing with a few sizing differences.

              Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.
