    Wot's the stroke? ya need to know that too, of course that is assuming said 73mm piston is just not hanging from the handle-bars!!

    (73MM? haven't seen a piston that small for a long time!?)

    I spoze all your vehicles' pistons are measured in feet, or fractions thereof.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    according to a statistics site 73mm is stock and that my bike is 29odd horse power however I very much doubt it more like 19 horse power with the wiesco piston (by the way thats was I got)

    Um...if 73mm is stock then it will have stock capacity - how many cc is your bike stock?

    pi x D squared over 4 times the stroke. Divide by 1000 to get cc

    ie: (bore x bore in mm) times 3.14. Divide by 4 = #
    then times stroke/1000

    easy

    example for 70mm bore & say 65mm stroke (guess) would = 250cc

    according to the wiseco cattle dog, 73 mm gives you a capacity of 249 and if you take it up to 78mm you'd get about 280 cc.

    Sorry guys I read the job invoice wrong. The bit that says "has 73mm piston"is the job log.That means that my bike will have the next size up.
