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.

even better than ?don?t eat yellow snow?. Cheers
Those sound like 'manufacturer's claims,' not rear wheel horsepower. Am I correct?
Crankshaft horsepower, and who knows whether it was measured to SAE standards of the day or not. Ie, with ancillaries not in place or maybe on, depending.
Correct dd, GS850 = 69mm vs GS1000 = 70mm, 1mm less metal in the bore should weigh less. Now remember the emblems on the side covers, the 7 digits on the GS1000G, must weigh more than the only 6 digits on the GS850G, may get wgt. back closer to equal.
Superficially the same, but very different in many ways - the factory went on a weight-reduction exercise with the 1000 engine.
Not having a set of cases or even a lower end for a 1000G in my possession, I'm still unknowing about one vital question - is it possible to fit the longer throw crank of the 1000G into the 850G cases? Nobody's ever addressed that on here or anywhere else, as far as I know.
Might be the crank and clutch centre lines are too different, also. Maybe the bearing positions are different. Who knows?
If I knew it could be done, I'd go out and buy a 1000G crank and barrels tomorrow.
