Higher Compression Pistons (Read 2940 times)

Garry Roberts(Guest) Ex Member	Higher Compression Pistons 27.06.05 at 00:29:00 I have a 980 Xv and a "special" with 1100 Virago motor in "chain drive" frame. I would like to find higher compression pistons for these motors. Standard bore in both is 95mm. Can anyony help? Garry

I don't know if there are pistons specially made for XV980-1100 engines. A trick is to take off 1 mm from the cylinder base to get little more compression.
