RG150: Oversize piston or standard?

[Coyote]

The RG is over due for a new piston and ring. On Trademe, there's been several oversize piston and ring kits for the RG being sold by the one seller. Zorst bought one a few weeks ago

I've been wondering what I should do. This kit is pretty cheap and I could pay the buy now price right now, only I'm not sure if I need an oversize piston or not. The RG is up to 34000km, and tracing it's history as best I could I have found it's had no work done to it (and comparing it to Zorsts bike it is seriously down on power).

Now, here is what I need to know:
Would the cylinder have worn down enough to need an oversize piston?
Is it best to find a standard size piston instead?
Should I get this kit and bore out the cylinder anyway?
If I do get it rebored, how much is it likely to cost and where should I go?
Should I just sell it and upgrade to an SP1?

I plan to change the piston myself to reduce labour costs

Go for the oversize aye. Get a rebore, should cost about $40 and that way it will be more certain of not having any problems. There should be 3 or 4 oversizes available so that should give you plenty of rebuilds. Not worth the risk of getting a standard one and then finding out that compression is a bit low cause of some wear.

Where do I go to get the cylinder bored? Will a bike store be able to?

my bike clocked 27K over last week. I've had it since 7K and havn't replaced the insides. I doubt the last owner did either (it was still on the origional tyres!)
I took it apart a few weeks ago. I was surprised how new it was inside. I could still see the cross hatching from its origional bore-ing. Ring gap was 3 thou past the new setting, still nearly 20thou within spec (i think, this is off the top of my head)

You used your 666th post in one of my threads?! I'm honored

I got the kit anyway. I'll take the barrel to a guy svs told me about. Should all be sweet
