Title: 1300 To 1600 ?
Post by: 1blk66 on June 20, 2006, 01:42:15 PM

Hey gang is it correct that I can upgrde my 1300 to a 1500 or 1600 without machining ?

I heard that I could just put 85.5 pistons & cylinders and that's it. I gather the crank is the same.

Is there any head work required ? Do I have to split the case ?

Any comments appreciated.

Ya, I believe you only have to replace cylinders and heads (just because of valve size) But to the best of my knowledge the cases are identicle(sp)
