Over Size Pistons & Jetting

Post by TLRam1 »

In going half OS on my GT380 will stock jetting need to change? If not, on any bike (T500, 550, 750 etc.) does jetting need to chg when going OS?

What's os?

If it's some form of fuel or gasoline other than 85 to 105 octane then I'd say yes you'd have to rejet.

Good luck! Arne

I doubt that boring will create a need for jetting changes unless you change the intake or exhaust.

+1, no change for the jets - sorry I guess I should've read your title!

Nope, shouldn't require a change.

The facts are, you started with 371cc's. Refitting the engine with half over pistons brings the engine displacement to a whopping 378cc's. Still not a true 380.
I found a handy online calculator. See my post 'The Real Facts' is this section for a link to the calculator.
