No, You need to get the specs on that bike,and see what the standard bore is on it. It may be that your standard bore is 45,and the cylinder needs to be bored out to accept a new oversize piston.

    There are 3 sizes that i have seen for that bike. The A/B which is stock,the C/D which is 1mm over,and of course the E/F which is 2mm over..47mm.

  • walton kearns Sep 26, 2012

    The 45.00 is standed bore and the 47.00 is the oversize bore pistin size for a ktm 65

    Yes,i know. But there are several oversizes available,and no need to bore it out 2mm the first time unless the jug is badly scarred. Several companies offer oversized pistons,such as wiseco,namura,and many others. They are available through most motorcycle supply stores like Chapparal,Ron Ayers,etc.

SOURCE: Can I bore My 2001 yz 125?

It would be best to take it into a shop and have the machinist check it out before buying any parts, he should be able to guesstimate the amount of over bore required if it is at all possible, once you have this information, you can source the nessessary parts.
some of these type of parts are non returnable, best to play it safe.

hope this is of some help.

SOURCE: have h-d screaming eagle stock bore high

You are now going to be at a 10.5 CR, you cam will determine your dynamic CR. Watch your cylinder pressure as a result of your cam choice also.

SOURCE: My cylinder got gouged by the piston. Can I bore

It depends on how deep the gouge is. Having it bored and a new oversized piston may set you back more than a new stock piston and cylinder.

2004 Yamaha DT125 RE. What are piston and ring sizes?

When you remove the cylinder, you should have the bore checked by a machine shop. The bore wears on the front and rear of the bore and can wear slightly oval. In which case it should be rebored and an oversize piston and rings used. The cylinder should also be honed so that the new rings and the bore wear in together and make a good seal. The standard is 56mm.

How do i no if i need my pisyon cylinder re-board or just cleaned as there is some light scratching in it ,and if i do need to grt it re-board what size will i re-boar it too. thanks for your help

The bore has to be measured at a number of places to see if it is out of round 0.01mm or tapered 0.05mm
You will need to take it to an engineering shop that can do the boring, they can measure the piston and bore to determine what oversize it will need.
with only light scratches probably 1 oversize 0.25mm, if it has been bored before the oversize is stamped on the top of the piston. 0.25, 0.50, 0.75
A rough measurement can be done with a feeler gauge, between the piston skirt and bore.
piston clearance for a 125 is about 0.055-0.060mm with a limit of 0.1mm

Bore size

The cylinder bore is just that > the bore size of the cylinder. The piston clearance should be 0.0015 to 0.003. Anything more than .005 and the piston is too loose.

Piston rings

First, be sure they actually do fit the bore. Take a ring and insert it in the bore. push the ring halfway into the bore using the piston. There should be about a 1/32" gap in the ring. Anything more than 1/16" and you need rings the next size up. If the ring won't go into the cylinder because the gap fully closes, the rings need to be a smaller size.

With the correct size rings, put them on the piston. Some pistons have an index pin in the ring groove Fit the gap to the pin. Put the piston mid-stroke and place the cylinder over the top of the piston. Squeeze the rings closed as you gently tap the cylinder downward and over the rings.

Max size of cylinder

The biggest bore would be 1mm over.The standard bore on that bike is 65.0mm
so you could bore up to 66mm and to be a 900cc you would need a bore size of 68.5 mm
So your answers
  1. Yes, it can be bored
  2. No,Not to a 900cc
  3. Piston size is 66mm (making it roughly an 843cc)
I Hope this has answered all your questions,But please feel free to ask any more if needed.
