gs big bore pistons

[Anonymous]

Hi would gsxr750 pistons work in the gs750?
The pistons on my 86 engine is 70.2mm in Diameter.
Do the use different wristpins or rods?

Best bet is to watch for an 816 kit on Ebay. They show up once in awhile.

GSXR pistons

Hello
Follow Billy Rick sugestion. But if u must use GSXR pistons u need to look at the bore size piston stroke and wrist pin size. Remember engine size is not based only on piston diamiter but on piston diamiter and piston stroke. Just check with ur local Suzuki dealer about the specks.
Best of luck, Archie

You might have a look at http://www.wiseco.com/ they list a lot of info like the wrist pin sizes, etc. with their piston kits.

I have used 1982 1000SZ Katana pistons in my 83 GS750ED in the past. I knew a guy that used to own a cycle salvage yard back in the 80's and used to get parts cheap. They were 69.4mm (2.4mm) over stock and with the stock 53mm stroke boosted displacement to 802cc. Everything bolted right up- used the Kat 1000 rings and pins. The only problem was that they were domed and bumped compression up to 11.25-1. This was borderline too high for the stock combustion chamber creating heat and detonation problems when run on pump fuel. I am now going with the wiseco 816cc set- this is designed at 10.25-1 which is perfect for a street bike. With the cost of boring and rings, I would say to buy the wiseco set that is designed for your bike. Good Luck, Ed.

You guys are the best
I will look in to the different options available for me.
I guess the wiseco kit would be the way to go.
Since I have a 86 750gs engine sitting here I will have to figure out whats the best approach.
I do have gsxr750 engine from a 86 as well and the engine mounts look identical to the Gs.

Hm I guess that would cost me an arm and a leg huh?
Still I guess you get the most bang for the buck with the 1 L engine

it would cost less to put in a 1 ltr than to buy to fast parts to get the same HP.
and the 1 ltr is just beginning where the 750 with go fast parts is just about done.

If the '86 runs put it in. They were fairly stoutly built. You may even get by running your stock ignitor. You can find great pipes for them on Ebay. A set of Slingshot carbs or flatslides if you can swing the money. Nice cams show up on Ebay too for them. I'd be thinking about suspension mods to go with the swap.
