I decided to go well out of factory acceptable bore tolerances... At 97mm there is nothing Suzuki will be able to do for rings.
That's kinda funny,,
Regardless of provider, sometimes stuff isn't in spec. I Could have just slammed the parts together, but I can't be fixing stuff twice. It's not a comfort that they told me, Hey, OUR mechanics use them.
When their own maintenance manual explicitly laid out the acceptable gaps.
Good luck with it all. It's not unheard of.
Isn't that what a few guys here are running?
You gonna smooth that exhaust port out?
I have only read of a couple guys running the 97mm dr650 piston. Lancer and Dave. I guess I will be #3?
Yes... Exhaust is getting some heavy attention... Intake will get the little nub whittled down. Stock carb is getting a RYCA pancake filter and I'm trying out a 6Sigma "stage 1-7 big bore" jet kit. Sticking with the stock exhaust for now.
I'm not concerned with the gaps being too tight... That is what files are for. I will have a problem with Wiseco if they are too loose lol.
The jug and new piston went out to Bore-Tech with USPS yesterday right about noon.
Major changes in appearance are in process.
Got a solo seat and associated bracketry on the way. New blacked out lower profile turn signals also on the way.
Stuff REALLY needs to stop breaking around here! Went out to go warm up the crotch rocket and run up to the corner store for a pack of smokes this morning and no freaking instrument cluster lights or headlight! Freaking GRRRR!!! lol
