Mike711 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Does anyone with a GS750/1100ET 7/11 know if the head & barrels can be removed with the engine in situ? I suspect the mounts may have to be removed to lower it but having never tried I'm not sure. My old girl cold seized when I foolishly left it for a few years without oiling the bores first. I freed it off but it has been a bit oil thirsty ever since so it may be time for an 1170 & a head freshen up. Quote Link to comment
no class Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 the 7 and 11 frames are the same size ...... therefore ...yes...you can remove the top end in situ . Quote Link to comment
gs7_11 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I have a GS 7/11 with a 1085cc GS1000 engine. I believe the 1000 and 1100 engines are the same size. The frames aren't the same size, but I can get my cylinder head off by loosening the engine mounts and lowering the lump on to the frame rails. 1 Quote Link to comment
