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.

Does anyone know anybody that makes big bore kits for an 81 850g? Google has been a pain in my a$$ lately and refuses to bring up relevant search results. Thanks.
 
I've never heard of a big bore kit for the 850's. Only the 750's and the 1000's.
 
It's called buying a 1000G or 1100G engine, carbs, and airbox (I think you need the driveshaft, too), and installing them in an 850G/GL frame.

It's something I wondered about and it's a dead end, as I recall. 850 is the practical max for those barrels and that crank+cases. I don't think you can get a longer throw crank in those.
I'd be happy to be proved wrong though, as I have a '79 engine in bits and if a longer throw crank would go, I'd look seriously at it.
 
You can go custom as I have done. 71mm bore leaves a 2mm sleeve thickness.
Really nice ride with extra CR too. Don't listen to the knockers.....it's worth doing.;)
 
The 850 clutch is marginal stock. The 1000G had many upgraded internals. And as cheap as 1100G engines are, i don't think it's worth the hassle.
 
As an alternative to gain HP is there a reasonable way to increase compression on these engines? I ran my DRZ400 at 12:1 and it definitely upped the ponies a bit. Of course I had to run 91 octane to avoid pinging.
 
I agree with the 1000G/1100G motor. I have a 1980 1000G with a 1983 1100G motor, and its a pretty nice ride. Always something on tap when you want it.

Your frame is the same as mine.
 
Back in the day... 870 and 920 kits were available for the 750/850 engines. Some, may still be out there.
Both Wiseco and J & E told me that they could simply replace the 18mm piston pins with 16mm piston pins in their 1000/1100 2-valve kits at no extra charge if someone wanted a larger kick-start GS. :-\\\
Doesn't anyone know how to pick up a phone and call anyone these days?
