I am replacing the stock piston in my 700xx, due to the it putting a 1" horizontal gouge in the cylinder wall. Honda offers piston and rings they say is 0.25 oversized. Is that 0.25 inches? If so can you bore the stock cylinder that much and still be good? If my calculations are correct, that would bring the 686cc to 774cc. Please let me know.

Can't be, I dont think that is possible. Maybe its mm since honda should be metric. I'll look around for ya.

No way....thats metric, in which case it would be a 691.

You can use this to figure out displacement. it was for the raptor, but the XX and the raptor are the same bore and stroke.

Makes a lot more sense. The customer service rep from hondaservice.com didn't sound sure of himself. Just wanted to make sure. I didn't think you could bore that much out and still have a sleeve left.

I'm thinkin you would be better of with a stock piston & new barrel....Just buy the parts off the shelf and install them. No PITA measureing and sending stuff away to be bored and coated etc: .......

The piston your looking at is .25 mm or in inches is .010 Buy the piston and when it comes in take the cylinder and the new piston to the shop to have the cylinder bored to the piston.

are the jugs on the 700xx possible to be bored? i was told they are chrome lined.

i could be wrong but im fairly sure its 25thou, caus i know when i build car/4x4 truck engines the pistons come in increases in thou both metric and imperal engines, but like i say could be wrong caus i dont have the patentiance to build bike motors so havnt had much exp with them

Sure...you can either bore and sleeve or bore and re-nikasil the cylinder.

i just found out from the dealer that it is not chrome lined and you can just bore it out.and you can bore .25 on the stock sleeve, if its worse than that you have to buy a new cylinder and run a stock piston.

700xx has a 3.5mm thick steel sleeve
