    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...

    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.

Wiseco offers a big bore kit for the gs 1100. The displacement will be 1166cc. Does anyone know how much that is as far as boring. (10, 20 30 over)? Has anyone ever installed that on a gs 1100 or know anyone that has ever done it?Do you think it will increase power that a person will notice?
 
ITS A 3MM OVER BORE AND IT IS A NOTICABLE INCREASE IN POWER--YOU MAY FIND THAT WITH STOCK EXHAUST IT WILL NOT PERFORM WELL THOUGH-IT SHOULD ALSO CAUSE A BIT OF A LEAN CONDITION AND REQUIRE AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE MID RANGE NEEDLE AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN MAIN JET SIZE--

Slowpoke, what is the biggest Wiseco Big Bore kit you can install without getting the engine cases bored, or other machine work done on an 1100?

correct
thats why i chose the 1166 10.25/1 kit---i am still sorry that i didnt opt for more compression though
 
I found the Wiseco to be a high quality set up when I redid my GS1000 - the only drawback was the need for premium fuel due to the increased compression (the combustion chamber doesn't get 3 mm larger).

I have a friend who is a machinist/car/bike nut - I took him the head, he relieved the edges of the combustion chamber (to eliminate hot spots) and cc'ed the head. Worth the $45 for the hours work.

Mine worked fine without rejetting, however, you really will notice a big increase if you include these during/after rebuild:

1. slotted cam sprockets and degree cams
2. bigger carbs and a 4/1 pipe
