Motor rebuild

Hey everybody!
I am going to beg for some help. I would like to put a 1075 kit in my 79 ltd 1000 so I was wondering if somebody could help me find parts and give me advice on cam size and anything else I might need to complete this project. This bike has been sitting with a broken ring for about 5 years. I would like to be able to take to the strip and have some fun when it is done.

Help would be great!!
Thanks
Dan

+10 on the fsm

You will also need an inch-pounds torque wrench and some JIS screwdrivers.

Before you go all crazy with the rebuild I suggest that yes you get the FSM. You also need to decide if you want it streetable or just for the track.

I had my CSR rebored and Wiseco 1075 pistons fitted. As far as I know,the cams stayed the same. Valves lapped ,new stem seals and a new cam chain.That was about it. Still not running yet as I have to fiinish building the rest of the bike. My big concern with the motor is where to start with rejetting the carbs.

If you spent for example $200 and gained 2 HP, it is 100$/HP
Let us say your bike has 90 HP stock, you spent some money and gained 10 HP.
When and where you are going to use extra 10 HP?
I paid $700 for ZX11 with 145 HP, $1200 for ZX9 150 HP(?)
Whatever makes you happy.
Right now there is 96 ZX11 for $600 on craigslist.

I wasnt looking for extra HP on mine. One of the cylinders was damaged and needed rebored. I tried to find the next size up pistons but couldnt so I just took the whole lot to the tuner and he sorted it. No idea what HP I have now with the 1075. Anybody know?
P.S. Sorry,not trying to hijack the thread.
