    77 GS750 Smaller Engine Swap

    I've searched the forums a bit and most of the swaps I see are either same engine from a different year or a bigger engine into a smaller frame. I'm trying to put a smaller newer engine into my GS750. Something that would be lighter and have either the same amount of horsepower or even more. One of my good friends owns a fab shop so mounting points wouldnt be an issue. Has anyone tried this or heard of somebody that has? I'm trying to hear some experiences on this. Thanks.

      Mackenzie77 (I think) put a teapot katana (GSX-F) 750 into his GS 750. There is a thread about it here somewhere. The engine was significantly smaller/more compact and I also think they are more powerful and come with a 6 speed transmission.

              Hi, are you going to sell the old 750 engine? Is it good?

                  I was actually gonna try to trade it at a salvage yard for one that I'll swap in. It's good. I was riding it before I decided to make some changes to it.

                      Way more compact, but weigh about the same...nothing saved there other than width and COG. About 30hp more than my 16v. 6spd tranny. Proper oil cooling. Cheap cheap cheap!

                      Con side is the exhaust. Be prepared to make your own.
