Big Bore Power
The stock bore size is 66mm with a 57mm stroke. This would make the displacement 195cc
The big bore kits are 72mm bore with the option of a 60mm crank. This would put us at 244cc or 25% larger displacement.
The stock exhaust port width is 62% of the bore size or 41mm at the widest point.
My big bore cylinder exhaust port is 72% of the bore size or 52mm at the widest point
Big advantage to having additional exhaust port area, more area more flow more power.
The stock exhaust duration is 180 degrees, that’s fine for bottom end torque, but not for midrange to upper rpm power. Remember horsepower is a function of torque and speed. The faster you spin an engine the more power you will achieve. Horsepower= (torque) (RPM)/5252
My exhaust duration will be set at 190 for most riders this is done by raising the exhaust port. Now we have once again changed the exhaust area by changing the length and width. More area more flow.
The transfer ports are widened and raised to match the exhaust port timing. Then again we have changed the area of the transfers.
The intake ports are raised, widened, and the intake bridge is knife edged to improve flow.
The cylinder head will be cut to the proper squish clearance, velocity, and displacement to accommodate the larger piston.
The larger stroke crank will provide additional torque; once again torque is a function of horsepower.
The big bore cylinder with the crank, carburetor and the correct pipe will more then double the stock power output.
