    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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 know what motors will swap with a 1977 Suzuki GS750...?
 
Direct or with modifications?

I know that you can mix-n-match parts between your 750 and the 850. I think the early 1000's will work but that they require exhaust adjustments.

If you're willing to do some work then you can do anything. I'm running a 1993 Suzuki Katana 750 lump in mine but I had to setup forward and upper mounts. It was an easy way to get 110hp and about 60lbs of torque. I wouldn't want to go to much more powerful than that in these old frames...especially on stock suspension.

Which brings me to a prettyimportant question...what else have you done to the bike? Engine swaps should be about ht elast thing you do.
 
The GS 1000 engine bolts right in, it's more powerful, lighter, and smaller than the 750.. You need to make a couple motor mounts, easy peasy..
