    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.

Question for the GS700ES guru's

Ok Im relatively new to the world of bikes and even newer to the world of Gs'.
with that said I just purchased a gs700es for parts and the previous owner claimed that the bike had a dealer installed big bore kit punching it out to 900. i know i know never believe what the previous owner claims about what you cant see. Now im skeptical but for what i paid it doesnt matter if its a 700 or a "900"

I suppose the question im asking is anyone ever here of that option in 84? cuz i wasnt born yet....

thanks for entertaining my ridiculous sounding story....
 
Wiesco has 816 pston kits for them, there were Cosworth and Yoshimura kits also but i doubt there were ever any 900 (847 maybe) sized set-ups. Could have been pistons ment orginally for something else?
 
Thats exactly what i figured...the seller also had all electrical connections covered in masking tape and then he preceded to cover that tape with electrical tape...thus the reason for parts bike. He was a new kinda special. Thanks for entertaining this nonsense!
 
..."a new kinda special"...i am going to borrow that.

We have all had the dreaded p.o.s. previous owner syndrome. At least you got tape, i got alligator clips.

Believe it or not I had a guy bring in a bike a few years ago that he had tried to do some electrical work on . He thought he was doing a professional job by soldering his connections. Which by all standards is a great idea. But when you tape them up you don't use "Aluminum heat tape" and wonder why it blows fuses and melts wires:eek:
Now that is a new kinda special:)
