As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

1980 GS1100E stock piston question :-)

I was just on the Wiseco website checking out pistons for my 1980 GS1100E. If I ever need to do a slight rebore, what would be the next step up in piston size?

On the website it shows a set of pistons for 1166cc engine (which I believe is mine, stock)...the next one listed is for 1197cc engine. Is this the next size up after a rebore?

To see what I'm looking at, click on the link...and go to page 13

Rudi,
You're off base.
It's actually 1066cc.
The 1000 motor is actually 996cc.

My motor was bored 20 thousands, so I went up 2 sizes over stock.
I got mine thru Orient Express in NY.
Also got stainless steel valves from them. They don't wear as hard on the valce seats and allow better air flow.
 
stock 1100 is 72mm. 1134 is 74mm. 1166 is 75mm. Anything bigger needs new sleeves and the crank case needs bored.
 
Rudi your stock engine size is 1074 cc, I just checked my biike, it's on the cylinder block on the left side way on the bottom. By the way my registration papers also show the number of cc's my bike has, doesn't yours?
