    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.

What is 'boring' a cylinder. Is that where you cut it so the diameter is wider, making more compression? and i believe you need a whole new piston and setup, is this correct? Is there anyway that i can bore out my 450? :D Or would that definetly be a stupid idea.
 
it would be very expesive, you would need to get custom pistons at about 145 a pop and you have to order 4. just get a bigger bike.

Don't know much about the 450 but I would find a good used
GS500 motor and do a transplant if you want more preformance
 
I was wondering what kind of riding you do that makes you wand a larger engine. My little 200cc job easily cruises at 60 and gives great gas mileage.
 
One other note on over boring a small engine. do the math. when I over bored my 1100e to the service limit, it was originally 1075cc. It went to 1166/68 cc. or not even 6 cubic inches.

What will you gain by going to the service limit on your engine?
 
Hey Tanner! Check out the sites about GS twins. Do a search and you will find a couple of good ones. They have lots of info on performance enhancements(read lots of cash!) for Suzuki twins. I have to agree the cheaper and easier way to more power is to go to a larger bike. I love my 450L, but it will never be a hot rod bike.
 
There are links? I wouldn't mind looking at them. Know what any of them are?
