Well, drank a couple beers and did some measurin'. Ol' vito did some work to make his kit work. He cheats the stroke and timing with a notch on the piston. The porting is pretty cool and should give improved air flow. A good P&P job may make a nice unit out of this, I don't know. What it is in a nut shell is a new sleeve in a stock cyl. with a little bit of new channeling. The timing on this is pretty critical. A few degrees advanced will be nice, but a stroker will impair it's working. By raising the stroke the timing and notch are now off, so she is not going to be happy.
I'd say don't stroke a vito's without a want to do other machining. Which all said and done will get you up to a diff. big bore price range pretty quick.
That said, I think a couple degrees advance timing, a fat exhaust and bigger carb is what this was designed for. When I get it put together i will let you know.
I would not call this a good mod. for a serious rider. If I was racing these for bucks and what not, I'd go another route. You are limited with what you can do to these.
BTW, good fit on all the parts. Bore is German pussy tight, rings are snug and all surfaces are flat as an 8yr old.
I hope she sounds a little deeper!!
