1000cc LIGHTWEIGHT PISTON AND BARREL KIT
I Just came across this kit on the Motorworks website. Does anybody have any experience with this stuff?
1000cc LIGHTWEIGHT PISTON AND BARREL KIT | ENA37253
Designed by a German tuning specialist we now stock these barrel and piston sets providing an increase in power and torque for any of the 1000cc boxer models. Ideally suited to the later paralever models, this easily fitted kit gives a power output up to 67hp. The forged pistons are 130g lighter than the original pistons and run a compression ratio of 9:5:1. Supplied with stainless steel pushrod tubes fitted. A top end gasket set is available separately.
There are a few questions that spring up in my mind:
What does it do to the reliability of the bike? How about service intervals and general wear? (mine is a 1990 R100GS)
On the other side, what benefits do you really get? more power? Better fuel consumption?
Can you still double plug the bike?
Any advice would be great!
Cheers,
Jens
