Swiss Toni Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Do you reckon the broken head was the cause of something you did, or was it an old wound? C'mon now...'fess up! Quote Link to comment
Rustynail Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 SOMETHING I DID,HOW DARE YOU! In hindsight, like Danm54 said hanging it from the centre probably wasn't a good idea. I've never known a head as solidly stuck as that the only way it was comming off was as a casualty of war! Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ah well! Live and learn! You'll probably be able to pick up a decent 750 head quite easily. I'm sure someone on here was selling a complete motor. Or...go bigger? One of those more modern 1052/1127/1157 things perhaps??? 1 Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 yes, perfect excuse for an upgrade to oilcooled 750/1100 engine. There's a 750M engine in the for sale section now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rustynail Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've found a ES engine on Eblag for £165, so that be a plan, unless I find a 1100EFE engine first. Quote Link to comment

stockcar Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Even the 1100 oil boiler motors require tank/frame mods Quote Link to comment

Was worried about that, what is the reason it won't fit? Waiting for obvious answer now.................Cos It's too big! Seriously though is it too tall or what? Quote Link to comment
stockcar Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 750es shares more in common with later 750 teapot / oil cooled motor dimensions so very small 1 Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Go for oil cooled! Lighter, more power and younger! All are common crank cases, so would think any problems fitting one might be carb/petcock/tank clearance. Dot head, more downdraught, more problems. All do-able. Just depends how much you want to do it! Go for it! Now, back to the San Miguel, ( whoever invented that should get a fuckin' medal) and the pizza! Friday nights? Gotta love 'em!!!

Captain Chaos Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) as Toni said, the aircooled 1100 is much larger than the aircooled 750 engine. For cheap power get a 750L or M engine (like this one). Edited February 25, 2017 by Captain Chaos 1 Quote Link to comment
Rustynail Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks everybody all info given is greatly appreciated. Thats right Toni Oil cooled engines go in but tank has to raised and then side panels altered, Scotty is on with one on here but not heared anything for a while.Hope you enjoyed your San Miguel & pizza. Had look at the link Captain but will probably go with standard engine as cheaper option. Like that shock though. Quote Link to comment

Cobby Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 What if any mods are doable to gain more power from the 750 es engine if you don't want to go to the length of putting a different motor in Quote Link to comment
Cobby Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Has anyone turbocharged one? Quote Link to comment
Fjbj40 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Not sure if you are a member of GSResources, but here is an article where a member put an 1100 oil cooled engine in a 82 GS750. Maybe the 82 is a differant frame than the 83? http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?188079-82-GS750E-to-GSXR1215-restomod&highlight= Quote Link to comment
