What to do ??

[Anonymous]

Alright , so im going to pull the motor on the 850L it is a shaft driven bike :? anywho, I was wondering what kind of performance mods are
1. cheap
2. farely easy
3.CHEAP
4. create more pwer or lighter weight

I was also considering painting, what do you guys think of blacking one out??

is there a larger head that i may use to replace this one (1000) (1100) (1150) ???

I also have a pretty reliable source of heavy parts so maybe another motor all together , thats not shafty.
Do you guys and gals know of one that should bolt in readily?? with swingarm also.

You should be able to tell that im open to a wide area of ideas so plaese dont be shy ( i relize most of you arent) ok dont be lazy post a reply help me build a beast,

I will be doing progress updates with pics. if i make any (progress)

I havent told her i dream of the drag strip, soon enough though :twisted:

My 83 gs1100gk came with a black engine, so I kind of like the look.

I also thought that black would look good and it much easier than, polish buff, polish buff. the rest of the bike is black and chrome so i was thinking with a good looking exghaust it will look good.

thanks for a reply

YOUR best preformance upgrade dollar for dollar would be to put a GS1000G motor into your GS850

or a GS1100G engine, better still, but it would require some ignition mods.

Switching to a larger engine is about the best bang you can expect for your bucks.

You can change air cleaners, re-jet the carbs and replace the exhaust. After that, there is not really much to do with the 850L. It was never seen by the after-market performance folks as a worthwhile target bike.

The 850 is a fine reliable engine, extremely capable. But you can't displace displacement and the 1000-1150 cc engine represent as good as it gets for GS suzukis.
