850 to 1000

[bigs_gs]

Hey guys I was just wondering if i could take an 850 bike and put a 1000cc engine on it without modding the mounts. Do they line up the same or would fabrication be necessary?

different engine but some of the mounts line up and it is not to hard to move the others.

it will need to be a 1000G engine. or a 1100G engine (another 10hp)

It's a very worthwhile swap one of the rear mounts needs minor mods NOT a big deal. Got a GS1000G motor sitting under the bench to do the same to my 850. BUT my 850 runs so good I don't want to take it apart yet.

If you are waiting for the 850 to crap out...

You might be in for a long wait.

Well my 850 is driving me CRAZY!!!! I got the carbs rebuilt with all new peices and was going to have the cylinders bored and put new pistons and rings in it but they sell the pistons but not the rings... go figure. So what I did was find another 850 and used my carbs and it is doing the same sputtering missing crap it was before. I think i got taken on those carbs. Guess its time to tear em down myself.
