Bore diameter ?

Post by Sibbo »

I just measured the bore of my ST at 84.8mm is this standard or oversize ? I have to order rings, preferably the right ones .

Don't you have nikasil cylinders Sibbo?

If so, one size fits all. There is no oversize.

It looks pretty good but the rings are shot, a bit of carbon on the pistons but nothing dramatic, just tired .

New needle and jets too.
