    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

hi .will a two valve gs1100 top end bolt up to a 1978 gs1000? are the rist pin sizes the same?. my bike needs a ring job. my neighbor has a 1100 parts motor low miles bigger displacement. larger valves and carbs. what do you think? thanks darrell
 
The top end of the 1100 2 valve should fit the 1000 motor without any problem. Use the block & head together, as Suzuki added an extra bolt on the 1100 to prevent oil leakage in the front of the head gasket. You'll need the carbs. (They're better anyway) & an airbox that will fit the new carbs & your frame. One from a 1980 GS1000E should do the trick.
The entire motor won't fit. The 2 valve 1100 is a shaftie.
