Gary when i was in Italy with the Australian dealers for the release of the 70 degree engine i asked the question immediately of a big bore kit to one of the young engineers who built a lot of the engine, he said why more power and i expalined where we live and where we ride, and how much power you need 570 have plenty, when i shocked him with the gearing we i ran on my 650 he pointed directly at the KTM stand which was next to the Husaberg stand and right at the new 1190 RC8 and said in broken english you need a piston from that !!! and 100mm is as big as you can go !!!!. End of conversation....I guess a head gasket to suit and a map for the EFI would be the next drama. He did say it may be offered as a hard part in the future but not for a few years. The old 620 LC4 is 103mm but it depends on piston pin height and what you can take the 570 cylinder out to. Not sure what he told me the 1190 piston would get it out to but im sure it was 590 plus.?????? we had some nights out and did gather information from the makers which is all good now but i went a step further. afterall they fixed the beer tab at the end so i kept close by.Gazza said:
