    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.

Has anyone done any dyno tests on their stock GS1100?

I'm installing oversized pistons in mine and now wish I had taken my bike in for a dyno test for comparison purposes.

A couple members have posted results showing 93-94 hp at the wheel, which is right in line with Suzuki's claimed crank hp, stock.
Mark (in Calgary, I think) got his '82 to 100 hp at the wheel, and posted the sheet....this was with 4X1, K & N pods with Gixxer carbs, and re-degreed stock cams, IIRC. If your bike is ready and broken in by mid June, you can have it dyno tested, with a print-out, up at the Parry Sound sportbike rally for around $35. If I make it up there this year, I may run mine, just for fun.

Who does the dyno testing in Parry Sound? Seems an unlikely place to find a dyno! I'm from Ontario originally just found out there is a dyno in Victoria $500 to test and tune... I'll probably do it before I do my motor work next year. If and when I'll post it please post yours if you do it.

It is usually one of the attractions of the rally....the mobile Dynojet equipment is owned & operated by Dynotunes and a cash prize is awarded to the owner of the bike with the highest hp. I didn't attend last year, and I believe there wasn't a dyno shootout, so I'm not sure if they will have it back this year. It is pretty popular, and wait times are sometimes a couple hours, because every squid attending wants to see what his bike puts out (just like us, eh?:rolleyes:)...also, the latest price was $50, not $35 any longer.....still pretty good for a dyno pull though (no tuning).
A former member rode to the rally from Ottawa, and met up with some of us, a few years ago....his '81 GS1100E put out 87 hp IIRC, but he had some clutch issues with it.

I have some dyno sheets from 1991 that are interesting to look at... 1327cc, 10.5 to1, with hotter cams,and bigger carbs. Made 181hp with 107 ft. lbs of torque... I will scan them tomorrow and try to post them.. The guy that built my bike really knew what he was doing...
