[gj_fx1]

ok this might help...

i ahev a question on the bore.. its currently 62mm bore and i wont to get the 64mm 760cc. does it cost the same going from teh stock 61mm to a 64mm bore? or is it cheaper to go from a 62mm to a 64mm? or is it all the same?

justn trying to find the best/cheapest way to get the 760cc.

Option #1 Bore my current cylender to 84m

Option #2 buy a cheap 61x cylender bore that to 84mm and do what ever it is i need to do to get my current cylender in working condidion.. prob bore it to 82.5mm and then sale it?


PS: here more pictures

Just bore up to the next size, save the life of your cylinders............ you may not even need new pistons.(cant tell by pictures.)

[SuperJETT]

84mm on stock 61x sleeves makes them very thin, and some builders won't go that large. 83mm is the 'normal' max.

Go to 82.5mm, that is 727cc I think, and leaves you another bore afterward if there is a problem.

Fu*k david, that sucks!!!! I actually wanted to ask if we d go out to ride on sat.... shiaaat.

hmm, I m sorry that I have to say this, but those airfilters and no scuppers just arent good for freestyle. damn.

Grif....I got one you can have for free + shipping.

Ross C sent it to me when I bent a rod. I'll be switching to a Hot Rods this winter during my rebuild. Least I could do is pass the karma along to somone who needs it.

The crank is in pretty good shape but can def tell it was a ocean crank. Rear bearing is a little rough but you could get another season on it or until you got the $ for a new crank.

Only problem is....my engine wont be coming out until late this year for my rebuild.

yeah if i dont get the motor works finished b4 i can ride agen this summer i'll just leave it out and save up for a scupper. doesent look like i'll be attending to many partys this semester.. unless i can yardsale my room for some cash on ebay...:Banane01: yeah i might get off work early, its been cloudy. i'll be gone for school by the time you get back from Fl. and not i really have no reason to come back home, now that my ski is broke...
