do I need bigger carbs?

[Anonymous]

Hi all, After pulling down the Engine on the 1000 I found she has more history than I first thought. The pistons are after market and over size. so the next best fit is a rebore and a Wisco 1100 kit but do I need bigger carbys? I realise I will need to rejet but will the 1000 cv carbs do the job for an 1100. a few years ago I bored a 76 GS 750 out to 860 cc and the old carbys just couldn't cope, she never tuned well after that. when I bought the bike the service records came with it,all that was done to the bike was there from 1982 up to about 1997 (9700 km) then there is a gap untill 2001. in that time there is no mention of the rebore. I got her at about 9800 km now at 12200km inside 2 years (I like to ride a lot).

your thoughts?

Carbies

Hi That depends, If you got the money, intake rubbers and maybe air box rubbers go aset of EFE carbies but that might be too much hassle. Or try some GSX1100 CVs. The standard carbs should cope with just a rebore. I run 29mm smoothbores with a lot more work and it is built for grunt but still revs when i want her to. (11500 rpm during burn-outs untill some-one asked me what revs it does doing them, bit more carefull now.) 8O

The 1000's & the 1100's use the same size carbs, you should be fine.
