    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.

Engine swap advice needed.

Hi guys.
I have a Gs750 1978 with an 87 Gsxr engine in it.
I?d like to have a gsx 750 engine instead, does it bolt right on the Gs 750 frame?..

Love and Best Regards:o
 
Yes it will fit right in there the same as the GSXR 750 motor. But make sure you use the 750 motor with the Dot head or it won't give you any improvement over the older Gixxer 750 motor.
 
Thx for the answer;)..

Dot head?, can you explain what that is?
I am very hooked on a Suzuki gsx esd engine.
 
Why would you want to go back to an air cooled engine when you already have a BETTER engine now? I don't get this one. The 83 750 is a good engine but a dog compared to the GSXR engine.

Wow, one of the rare occasions where Ray and I agree!;)

The entire bike is frankenized and looks to be reasonably sorted.

The frame may have been modified to squeeze in that GSXR engine anyway.
 
Hi Guys.
Well, i only wanna change the engine, because my insurrance wont cover me. It is illegal
to add more then 20% horsepower, on a motorcycle in my country. You can get it on the road, but I the letters of the law, its illegal. And i?m getting older, so if something should happen to me, it would be a shame if my healt insurrance was lost..<if i survived ;)

The Engine is mounted with custom made brackets, no wielding on the frame besides mono shock and footpeg bracket :cool:

Agree with Ray, move to somewhere where the Nannys aren't in charge. Unless its Ben Afflect's Nanny in which case I'll do any thing she says.

So you can buy a new R1 with 200 hp but can't add 20% more hp to a 70 hp 80s classic. Makes perfect sense.

I can understand putting up with the Nanny state for a few years to enjoy the warm weather and California beaches but clinging to the cold and snow while being abused makes no sense. Run Forest Run.

Said it before and people think I'm nuts, but once driverless cars get deployed you won't be able to insure humans any longer. So, Enjoy the past its almost over.

Actually it is perfectly legal to "tune" original engines as much as you want, only forbidden to swap engine with more then 20%hp.Or 20% Ccm.(So if any of you guys have a gs750 tuned gem, stoffed under your pillow let me know)
And i Love "My Nanny state" I?ve got free health care/hospital, free university?s, free kindergardes/School,Medicin and so on. Nothing that the "Nanny state" provides will cost the private person money(almost)..I pay my 50% tax Gladly!..Weather...yaa, guess that it could be better...But we get the best for all 4 weather season?s..Love that too, who needs sommer all year ;)
 
Since the GSX and GSX-R motors are almost indentical in appearance, why not tell them it's a GSX motor?

You missed the free part.

Yes, all the benefits i mentioned before, and many more.. If a want a bachelors/candidate/master degree in the University.
State pays about 800$usd a month in allowance. If i get cancer, all treatment is free.
But yes, It is a high tax. But i pay it gladly.
 
BIG T.

Because if i get in an accident, insurance or the state will send an inspector, that will analyse why the accident happened and vehicle conditions. = No insurance coverage
