Haven't been lazy. Went page by page through parts manual with exploded diagrams and can not find this. Bike is GSXR 1100 H 1987 Am wondering if powdercoater gave me an extra to mess with me. Any clues? Thanks

Very true. I shaved 10kgs so far and cost me nothing. I haven't cut out beer however as I still need a soul to ride

Thanks heaps - yes they have them - just got to negotiate getting them sent downunder

Anyone know the APE HD kit that will fit a 1987? CS1127GSX is listed as - Cylinder Studs - Suzuki GSXR1100 1127cc case (40mm Starter Hole) - Bandit 1200s

With an 1109 wiseco piston kit lifting compression to 12:1 will standard studs be ok or should I look at the APE studs?

All studs removed using a gear wrench stud extractor and the double nut technique. Only two studs were super tight thank goodness. Cheers for the help and direction appreciated

The offender

Would you recommend replacing them all or is only changing a singe stud ok? I have nightmare visions of breaking studs at the crankcase. In you experience are they bloody difficult to remove or relatively easy and what technique do yo use? 45lbs? I thought the max was 29ftlbs what had you done that required a 45lbs torque?

No new studs - all old ones

Damnit just finished fitting my new 1109 pistons and was torquing down the cylinder head and a stud snapped. So many levels of pissed off right now. I torqued it down following the tightening pattern in stages as per the manual and stamped number on the head. Max of 29 fl ilbs so set 27. What have a screwed up? What can I do next time to not have this happen again? The stud snapped just below the top thread after the radius curve to standard stud diameter. Any suggestions on how and the best easiest way I can remove the stud? Can it be done without stripping the engine fully down again i.e. removing the engine block Was thinking maybe I can lift the block up enough to get something on the stud to loosen it without removing the pistons from block. FAAAAAaaaaark

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the comments. I'm gonna go ahead and give it a go. Impressive 144bhp with stock cams

Has anyone done their own head work? I mean casting clean up etc... and how successful was it? Any real dyno proof / photos?

Slow going with my build but enjoying the process. How do I get access to the ads etc... (Aside from 50 posts) I am in need of some parts

wtf?

How is this.

What year are you after?

Just get the OEM ones. I used Partzilla

Nitron shocks are great

ok Thanks will stick with the stock .010 gasket. I had read elsewhere a thicker gasket being used

Hi, Sooo I have a 1109 wiseco piston kit on the way. With the compression increased to 12:1 should I use a thicker base gasket i.e. instead of a .010 inch use a .020 Copper or steel?

ok thats not so bad and thanks! I assume sump pan swap means fit the 1052 sump pan on the 1127? Are the exhaust port centres the same? i.e. my current 87 headers should just bolt in Can you elaborate on the single ignition pickup? Is that the signal generator under the right side engine cover?

Damn - dont think so 88 was the last straight bolt in

Is this a straight bolt in?
