Hey, all,
I had an idle thought the other day. Wiseco makes a 1039cc overbore kit for the GPz1000RX and ZG1000 Concours. Has anyone here gone through with an overbore? What's your experience been?
I was toying with the idea of hot-rodding my motor a bit. Thought about getting some ZX1000 carbs and cams, but from what I've read, all that really does is shift your power-band way up high, north of 7,000 RPM. You get more peak power, but you lose too much under the curve and you have to really wind it up to keep it alive. Not what you want from an all-rounder like Connie.
I'm wondering if it's worth the work to get an extra 40ccs of displacement, and what kind of realistic gains over the entire rev range I would be looking at. Basically, is it worth the work? I know that extra 37ccs of displacement on the Ninja 636 made a noticeable difference in midrange oomph over its 599cc competitors, but would this be a case of diminishing returns?
Let me know if you have any experience with over-bored motors!
