Hello all, could you help me reflect about the following matter?
I have a '94 500 bullet, maybe it was an 'inland version' because wow, it had some serious quality issues..
I overhauled everything, has now electronic ignition, flowed head and a 30mm carburettor and with the 18T front sprocket it has still good acceleration in 4th gear.
A safe cruiding speed on the Dutch B-roads is about 90km/h.
If... i replace the 6,5 piston with the 8,5 piston,
1- will it raise performance enough to mount a 19T sprocket and maintain pulling power in 4th? The goal is to have a 'healthier' lower RPM at 90 km/h.. Right now the revving scares me a little..
2- Will it strain the engine considerably more (Should i not complain if the crankshaft wears out soon/breaks down?) and/or should i mount a 'bigger' oil pump and doe work on the oil ducts first?
In other words, is it more sensible to leave it the way it is and be happy with a fully functioning bullet?
Thanks!
