Standard over sizes should be available from Suzuki or Wiseco. Wiseco has a couple designed for the DR-650 that should in theory allow the Savage be "punched out" a bit to something like 670cc-680cc. Cool

Reply #5 - 10/04/08 at 09:38:03 Prob is even if you find a piston of the right dia it wont have the right numbers from the wrist pen to the piston top as the LS has a 94mm stroke, this is why I want that number. And pen dia.. So even if its a piston from a car as long as that number along with the corrct dia I know if it will work or hit the valves..

Reply #6 - 10/04/08 at 10:39:49 Ok... measured the old piston. Remember it's melted so numbers may off a tiny bit. Wrist pin is approx 15/16 inch. top of wrist pin to top of piston is approx 5/8 inch. Do the math for center of wirst pin to top of piston........ Numbers in inches so you need to convert to metric...

Yes... the good one is in the engine.... Wink

I got it at the Suzuki dealer. It was their first OEM over-size "kit". I think it's 0.5mm over. It should be noted that the Suzuki kit does not include a wirst pin.

www.ronayers.com has a parts page. See the "OEM parts" page , then Suzuki "motorcycles", then year, then model. The Ron Ayers site has good prices. Shipping can be slow sometimes, other times it's fast.

My dealers' site is:
http://www.blackmanscycle.com and then the same, OEM parts etc etc. Faster shipping but 10% higher prices.
