YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
Has anyone ever tried to throw some yzf pistons in an fzr with the 3mm overbore? Looks like you could net up to 60ccm of displacement more. Including higher compression ratio.

Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR

He only needs 1.5mm per side, so that leaves him with 1.3mm. The question is, and I am no engineer, but is that enough side wall left?zero9243 wrote:Is the sleeve big enough to bore out 3mm?

Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
how is this better than just swapping the top for the yzf is it just cost wise, and would you need bigger carbs for that like the yzf or can the fzr flow enough to work. also is the yzf the same height from the wrist pin to the top of the piston. deffinatly some out of the box thinking that has my attention
ones life is the way it is only because you allow it make it happen.

Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
Yea Dillon, we did measure it and it came out to 2.9mm. Removing roughly half that doesn't leave much to work with. They looked thin as it is.ragedigital wrote:He only needs 1.5mm per side, so that leaves him with 1.3mm.

Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
I pose another question now. What size are the wrist pins used in an FZR? If they turn out to be the same size then I can just use the yzf piston jug and keep the standard fzr head and con rods. I'm just trying to find a way to not get rid of my new top end.
Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
isnt the fzr a long throw and the yzf a short needing the connection rods too

Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
I'm guessing, full YZF top end. With the longer throw of the FZR crank, the gudgeon/wrist pins must be closer the the piston crown (otherwise pistons hit valves) = longer stroke?

Re: YZF6R Pistons in an FZR
I've been poking around on the Archives, there's a thread in the FZR Hybrids forum "660 conversion so far"
