Gs1085 Bhp figures

Your stock 26mm carbs say you have the small port head.. The switch to the later head would get you more along with the carbs

Somethin ta think bout.

I am not positive but you will probably find that these HP , And Torque # no are measured at the crank not the wheel, so if you subtract the average 15-20% the #'s will be right where you would expect them to be

carbs cams and an exhaust.

Kawasaki carb insulators for a J head -(11060-1137 I think) ( 11060-1135?) you have to oval the 2 bolt holes so they fit to your small port head . They will hold 33 mikuni smooth bores and mikuni flat slides or the CV- in 34 or 36 (36)

the little VM carbs are a HUGE restriction get carbs first with the first $500.
get cams with the second $500 .395 drop in's and still use shim over.

if you get too interested in big cams you have to buy a lot of parts and do a lot of work .

I made around 140 hp thru a big valve small port head and 33 smoothies 1105cc . but that takes a lot of modification and a lot of compression

That specs sheet about the Yosh GS1000 is pretty staggering. 82 mph in first gear? Is that really true?! If so I'm pretty impressed. Of course I realize that this is the race prepped version and doesn't have silly things like a headlight

But still. Very cool.

[trippivot]

how about the yoshi starting system?

Look at the fuel mileage.

I understand what yer saying about a cv Head but i realy reluctant to pull my head off...
the guy who built my engine has offerd to modify my head at a price...
but i just want to do it the cheapest way and with the least hassle..

I thought the 1000G cams were revised for more torque. My 1000G was definitely slower than my 1000E... Higher mileage motor too though.

From the Yoshimura article.

All told, the modifications made
by Yoshimura increase the GS1000's
power output to 133.54 bhp at 10,000
rpm and 76.64 ft. lb. of torque at 8000
rpm, rneasured at the countershaft
sprocket on the Yoshimura R&D dyno.
Output readings on one dyno may not
match those achieved on another dyno.
What is important is that the engine
makes more power than its
competition, is plenty fast enough to
win races, is capable of lasting long
enough to reach victory circle.
