    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...

VM33's on 16 valve 1100

I have a set of VM33's that I had on my 1085. I since removed them and replaced with BST34SS off a GSXR1100, way better, more streetable.

Now I have this 1100ES. Being a 16 valves engine do you think they are more appropriate, will work better than the 8 valve engine?

its a shame as they are fully rebuilt, but an expensive piece of decoration;).

cheers,
Daryl
 
the problem is engine size not valve number, the 33mm smoothbores are suited to big motors
if your 16 valve is stock they might not be the go either
your 8 valve at 1085 using the 33s would have little bottom end grunt 29 or 31mm would have been better
 
any 1100 16v. i have road with 33's was a hoot.
as with any mechanical carb you just can't whack it open from 2-3 grand without a bog or hesitation but spin it a little higher and the fun begins.
can't compare mechanical's to vacuum carbs...one set is smooooooth and the other is just an animal for making power.
