which oversize piston, KLR 650... help needed!

Hello fellow hubbers,

as my KLR was using alot of Oil I decided to grind the cylinder and buy a new piston with better rings ( less oil consumption ). I will buy a Wössner piston. The have the following sizes:

99.94 Std.
99.95 +0.01
99.96 +0.02
100.94 +1.0
101.94 +2.0

Which size should I take ? The piston I have removed was standard size. Is +0.02 enough to grind the cylinder ? Sadly I dont have instruments to meassure the size of the cylinder.
If it helps, the engine had 60 000 kms done. The Oil consumption was allready high when I bought the Bike... with 8 000 km. My mechanic said it was normal for the KLR as the piston rings pump oil into the burning chamber.

thanks alot for any help

The 685 kit from Shnitz Racing is a really good choice.
