You don't have enough bike projects on the go, if you've had time for 7 kids

Dose the sprocket turn freely without the chain fitted?
In the pic and when trying to turn the sprocket, is the chain on the rear sprocket?
Also, as you have fitted a slimmer sprocket the sprocket but seems to be a long way out/not on the shaft fully?

ha ha, that good eh. you could use the 750 oil pump
You need the oil pump gears as well
I'm lucky, I have the Kat with a 1127 in it, the ET with a b12 in it and the gs1000 board to 1100cc, not as fast as the Kat or ET but grate fun to ride. Got to agree with @Dezza the air cooled motors just put the power down in so much of a different way and until you have riden both big bikes you just won't understand
-
I would guess?
Worn out and/or if you're just want more power the oil cooled has more standard then the gsx motor and you'd have to spend a lot of tuning to get it upto a oil cooled motor output. If you spend the same amount on the oil cooled you'd be up to around 150 bhp.
Like I say, this is if you're looking for just more power.
Plus as you know trying to get any of the big air cooled motors is hard to find and if you do find one they are ever fucked and need a complete strip and rebuild or they cost, well just think of a big numbers.
When I was starting the build on my kat (750 jap import) I'd like to of put a air cooled 1100 motor in it but they where hard to get and the ones that where about where about £600 for a unknown motor, where as I got a good gsx1100f for less than £300.

The gs1000 motor goes in a gs850 frame, a gsx1100 goes in a gs1000 frame.
So I would think a gsx1100 motor will go in a gs850 frame, and with the extra room around the swing arm area more options for swing arms and wheels with out hitting the frame with the chain
GS1000 (chain drive) in gs850 frame.

Welcome to OSS
To get the best info, always nice to pop over to the general section and say hi before asking questions and when you're in the general section RTFR
B6 carbs on a 1100 are way to small.
Best would be RS carbs but not cheep, or carbs from that engine.
Plus many more.

Welcome to OSS
Standard is for them lot over at SOC
Nice looking bike

Jack the back wheel up, put it in gear and pull the clutch in, put a zip tie around the clutch lever and handle bar to keep the clutch pulled in, then see if you can rotate the back wheel if you can remove the zip tie and with the bike in gear see if the wheel still moves, if not all would seem to be ok engine wise and most probably electrical.
If you do a search on side stand cut out and/or clutch cut out switch there will be old posts you can read on how (witch wires) to remove/contact.
Hope this helps

As a straight swap, you may find b12 down pipes but you may need to modify the link pipe and end can. You may need to change the sump etc as the gsx1100f was a 4-2 wasn't it?
if you want a complete system and just bolt straight on ?

Got a set of carbs from a gsx750f (36mm) but not sure what year, and going to need to put a new deal kit in them.
Number (I can find on them) 20C00 K481
Any ideas

Thanks for that Wraith
Found one local to me, will see if he has forks as well.
Don't know if it will sort out your wird bearing problem as they use the same bearings as the GS/gsx/gsxr/bandit id 30mm bottom and 25mm top (stem size)
-

Not a expert on the gs500 just what I was told by a good bike garage, the reason for the 500 in Japan was for there tax bit?
From what he told me the 550 carbs (with rejeting for smaller bores) fit, the exhaust fitted. I was told this because I was looking at one years ago and thinking of putting a 650 top end on it as the bike was cheep.
Like I said just what I'm told but someone on here will know 100% and will be along

Welcome to OSS
As far as I know, the gs500 (4 cylinder) was a grey import for Japan and with some different parts basically a gs550 with smaller sleeves.
-
Look for a RF600 bottom yoke, same stem length and bearings as the GS/gsx but same fork size and off set as b6 mk1 and the b6 MK1 top yoke fits straight on with no pissing.
As fitted to my gs1000g but I've also used the better rf600 forks.

As FBB says bandit can be made the work and if you're spending money on better forks etc you can put them on a bandit.
You see lots of gsxr's going fast, but it's more fun showing gsxr's your rear end when they don't expect it

The Mosfet regulator does help. I find it difficult to keep heated grips, headlight, and phone charging going though.
Sounds like you need a car
Got both best way.
The gs1000g with tuned GS 1000g engine is fun to ride and is a complete different way of riding to the oil cooled, down side, the air cooled yes heavyer and not as much mpg.
Oil cooled, got the kat with 1127 in it and the ET with 1157 in it, love riding both lots of tuque and power when you want it, don't ask me to choose witch I like the most as I can't all different and all are fun.
Best way to answer your question is get both

So a gpz1170 kit gives a gs1000 motor 1148cc on standard , bored out liners? Or is there more to this?
Much more, you need bigger liners and it's only one of the gpz models (can't remember which) but one of them has the same small end ( gudgeon pin) as the GS.
I used them as at the time you couldn't get anything bigger than a 1100cc kit but now MTC do bigger kits for the GS
-
So know someone years ago who had a gsx1100f motor big bored 1216cc big cams etc etc + 100bhp N2O handled the hp ok till he hit the N2O then it went tits up each time, I think if I remember right it was running 250+ bhp rear wheel.
So I would think unless you're going crazy, there's not a problem with a F motor.

Black/red to coil 1-4 cylinder black/white to earth harness job done
Been running the gs1000 like this for years with different clock's all work well, had gsxr clock's, gsx550, and at the moment b12
Also running Dyna coils and Dyna S.

I'm using bandit/gsxr switch gear on my gs1000 you can use ever the pre 1990 gsxr or the latter bandit/gsxr
Ps, got both sets spare if you want.
-
I had a gs1000 over bored with bigger liners to 1148cc stage 2 cams extra, used a 8 row 330 wide cooler with an8 lines. Never had a problem with over heating but the modern trend is to go as big as you can with the biggest lines, there is a point that over cooling will loose you performance as the engine will not get upto optimum performance temp.
It will come down to how you're riding and in what out side temp and state of tune of engine you have.
Don't get sucked into the bigger the better
Gsx1100 et headlight?
