    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.

I am trying for the first time to upgrade my 1980 gs750e 4valve engine with a big bore kit but not sure how big I can go or where to purchase a kit to do this. If you have any ideas it would help a first timer.

by 4 valve do you mean 8 valve? or 4 valve per cyclander so 16 valve?

I know there is a bore kit for the 750 but I dont remember the cite some one will be along with that site im sure.

Another idea for this is putting the top end of a 850 on your 750 then basically you have an 850 cause the crank cases are the same.

It probably easier and cheaper to swap your 750 engine for an 1100 engine.
 
Hey Big J...I just installed one of the APE manual tensioners in my KZ750. What a wonderfully simple piece of engineering. Very easy to install and adjust.
 
I installed the Wiseco k816 kit in mine (816cc's 3mm overbore) It raises compression and gives more displacement. Cost me about $1000 for the pistons and the overbore. If you can find an 1100 that would be the better way to go imo.
 
There you go, Jay will sell you the 816cc kit for $562 and will bore and hone your cylinders for $120. Dar
 
Just dropping in a big bore kit is only the beginning. You also have the issue of fuel (you'll need more of it) and breathing (probably head work..etc). Just get the 1100 and be done with it.
