SV700 - Sv750 kit and fitting

Anyone ever fitted the kits themselves? Would you say it is something that someone with no knowledge but a bike that can be laid up easy do in time and with a bit of advice?

Clearly I've not done this. But I would imagine the bores will have to be sent to a pro to be done right, other than that it's Haynes manual stuff to replace the pistons, bores & heads?

Intresting to know though, happy to be corrected on this!

I was wondering how this would work, I take it then you might have to remove the heads and send them off to someone.

Could pick up a spare engine from fleaBay, do the work, then flog the original back. Saves on down-time,.

The full kit can be done quite easily with the aid of a Haynes (or similar) manual for the lesser experienced.

You won't get much of a gain with just a rebore kit, I personally don't advise just this to be done as it costs a lot for not much of a real gain. Saying that it costs more than an SV to get a significant gain (see signature).

Edit: Not 100% sure but I don't think the full kits are still available.

Really dave!? Im surprised at that. With the Falco 100mm kit you get a lot for just that mod, though you need a PCIII obviously.

The actual swap's simple enough, if you can remove the heads- and you probably can- then you can swap the barrels. Obviously you need a pro to bore them out, and it needs to be done spot on.

Personally I decided not to, because it adds stress, weight, and makes the liners thinner... Not that it suddenly becomes a time bomb but those are all things i can live without for the benefit. But it does depend on what you do with the bike, there's someone on here that has the wiseco 700cc kit on their bike and says they only ride the mids- that'd be great, because it's less stressed and the 700cc kit gives a nice midrange boost.

A little searching and Wiseco UK seem to offer a 677cc and 694cc kit all this for $360, and that is dollars.

As there is stuff there for older bikes I imagine they can make it up might just be a little lead time to it.

You need to find somewhere to bore out for you. What size piston is used for 700 and 750 kit?

The pdf said -

3.268” or 84.00mm
3mm oversize
Stroke - 62.6mm

For 694 CC kit.
