Default High compression piston kit

Anyone know where you can buy a wiseco highcompression piston kit? I'm looking to do some work to my SV650 race bike, considering carrillo rods also.

Thanks in advance.

Why not 'busa pistons and skim head, cheaper and probably lighter.

I know Yvonne, everyone you ask about engine work gives you a different recomendation! Not 100% what I want to do yet but theres going to be alot of SV's on the grid next year, its a pitty but it seems you have to do something with the engine to have a chance of competing.

Try Steve Jordan's. He's running that gear in his SV700 thunderbike.

HTH.

they would need to make a bit more of a effort when checking them, you dont have to bore them out to make them 700cc

No but I don't think going long-stroke would be the best thing for them.

Why don't they just check like in F1 pylon racing? Fill cylinder with oil and measure volume.
