big bore kit

RE: big bore kit
This is just my opinion.
If you've had your engine apart, you'll see that the walls between the cylinders are not exactly "thick." (Nothing like an old 1100GS Suzuki...) I considered the big bore kit for a couple weeks, until I weighed the reliability factor, and asked myself the "do I really want to do this?" question. I'm not saying you shouldn't.After replacing a head gasket on a stock motor, though, I felt like there would barely be enough cylinder wall left with the big bore kit.
If you want to spend that money, I'd find another project. However, to answer your question, I haven't heard of any real problems withit. I think there was an article in Motorcyclist back in '94 or '95where they had done it. They might be a resource.
