    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1980 Suzuki GS1100E questions

A few weeks ago I bought a 1980 GS1100E for a steal of $1400. I got about $7000 worth of receipts dating back to 2001. The motor has about 7000 miles since it was rebuilt and bored. I have a few questions though, The paperwork just says machine work done and gives a parts list but no part numbers for the Wiseco piston kit used, but the previous owner said they told him that it was bored as big as it could possibly be. Does anyone know how big that would bed in cc? Another question I am going to adjust the valves on it and I've seen nowhere in the paperwork where a cam was upgraded so should I just use the stock .003-.005" specs? Thanks for the help!

75mm bore or 1166 cc is the biggest you can bore the stock cylinders to. Post a picture along with the receipt for machine work you have and somebody may even know that motor.
 
The engine work was done at eastland motor sports in Lanark, IL in 2002 . I can post pics later right now she's in pieces as I had a stuck cam chain tensioner and When I took off the valve cover I lost a cam plug end (DOH!) so I'm waiting on it to come in the mail. All in all it runs great V&H 4into 1 pipe, has a new paint job of pearl violet (apparently the color was an accident lol) Seat is comfortable and rides real smooth. One thing I gotta figure out also is the speedo is off. The faster I go the farther off it gets, starts out about 5mph off and by the time it reads 60 my gps says 70.
