    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...

    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.

85 Gs700 Es --- Help

I just bought an 85 GS700 ES, just for a cheap powerplant for the GO-KART I am building. Can anyone help me find the engine/torque specs? I have tried to find a manual with no success. I don't need a manual for this specific bike, just one that the information is correct for the engine.

What other motors is the gs700 similar to?

What other bike/engine parts work on the gs700 engine?

What is a good aftermarket ignition? Just one with and adjustable rev-limit, nothing fancy. What is the stock rev-limiter set at?

Thanks, James
 
In the U.S. '83 only, the 750 e and es are the same except for differances in cranks, the domes of the pistons (bore size is the same) and the camshafts. I don't think there is a rev limiter on the stock ignition, I've spun mine WAY past redline a couple times during a false neutral episode. PM me an address and I'll send you a copy of the engine specs from my FSM. I've never felt that it needed any thing better than the stock ignition, use'd to drag race mine for years, went 11.80's in good air with just a header and pod (K and N) air filters.
