    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.

Is it possible to put the cylinders, pistons and other necesary parts from Suzuki GS 750 (or GS Suzuki gs 650) to 550? Whether is it possible to be done or just put bigger bore to originaly 550 cylinder?
all that for the purpose of increasing power of course.

Not from a 750, but there are multiple threads on doing 650 jugs and pistons...

Advanced Search. Limit to "titles only".

I've heard of people over boring 650 cylinders and installing them on a 550 but there are "issues".

Sounds like a lot of work and expense to make an old bike slightly faster. If you want truly fast, I recommend a larger and/or newer bike.

Something like 40% more powerful, do a little research.

The 550 goes to 699cc, with a better more efficient combustion chamber design, and bigger ports and carbs. The anemic 550 becomes a rocket while maintaining it's light weight, shorter wheelbase and six speed transmission.

I'll let you know as soon as my cylinders and head arrives.
