    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.

Anyone have any experience with these kits?..I have heard some bad things about Weisco. I'm thinking of boring the old 750.
 
My Katana has been running Wiseco big bore kit for eight years with no problem, you will find that most problems with such things come from taking shortcuts. Poor preparation and /or rushing has killed many a motor big bore or not, and way to many people look for someone else to blame for there own mistakes. Take your time and check and recheck everything as you build it and you will get years of service from it.

Should be no problems with Wiseco. The main thing is to make sure that whoever does the bore job does it properly! The tolerances have to be spot on and the job not rushed. Better to pay a bit more or wait for a good machine shop to do it than take the cheapest price. A good shop will ask about how you are going to attach the bores (studs, torque settings etc) as this will affect how the bores should be done.
 
If they are a reputable shop they will also want your new pistons.The reason is to bore and finish hone the cylinders to the piston that will be in that particular bore.Then they will gap the rings to the bore with the correct end gap.All this adds up to a "like-new" re-bore that will last as long or longer than the factory job. :D
