Big bore kits for a Z1100A1 ???

#1 PostAuthor: Big Fluff » Fri Jun 15, 2012 6:17 pm

I know the Z1100A1 (shaft drive) engine is based on the 998cc Z1000J, but what size will the standard liners go out to :roll:

I'm sure the crankshaft has 18mm wrist pin size, and am looking at a 1135cc MTC piston kit but don't want to have to resleeve and bore the top crankcase out.

Thanks, Will

Whether you have 17 or 18mm pistons, depends on the model year. There are Z1100STs that have a classic J bottom end and some that already have the later UT crank (83 onwards IIRC)

Cheers,
