It has been 4,000km since I changed the piston to an overbore of 61mm. It has been a very enjoying time. Good pickup all around. Very responsive even with pillion riders.
Not much improvement to top speed. I still get around 120-125km/h on the highway. A lot of temperature. Easily rise to 2 bar during crusing and sometime 3 bar in a traffic jam.
Higher fuel consumption. Full tank, I lost about 40km. Used to get around 220km per tank. Now I could only do about 180km on average.
But even worst, now the piston ring has started clicking. A little clicking which I figure a sound of the piston ring started to loose.
At this rate of deterioration, I will probably get another 4,000km before I will have to replace it with a new piston.
