BIGBORE KIT 865CC, SUPPLIED AS READY TO FIT CYLINDERS, 650 Super Meteor + 650 Shotgun + 650 Classic
This big-bore conversion is pre-installed in a brand-new set of Royal Enfield cylinders, allowing for a straightforward bolt-in replacement of the original units. It converts the 650cc platform to 865cc by taking the standard 78mm bore to 90mm whilst raising the compression ratio from 9.5:1 to 11:1.
This is a bolt on set of machined cylinder barrels with matched pistons ready to fit.
This upgrade transforms the performance output, massively increasing both torque and horsepower (see dyno graphs attached).
When making internal engine modifications such as fitting a big-bore kit, it is necessary to optimise fuelling through the use of a fuel controller. We recommend using either a Dynojet Power Commander or a PowerTronic fuel controller.
To maximise the benefit of the bigbore kit you need to consider the following: Clutch upgrade (we find the added torque causes the stock clutch to slip) Performance Camshaft Free flow exhaust system Free flow intake
Suitable for the Royal Enfield 650 Super Meteor, 650 Shotgun or 650 Classic.
Note, Royal Enfield list the cylinder head bolts as one time use (part number 575620 shown in the related items below, qty of 8).
Fitting Guide
Identify Your Model
On average over the last few years we processed over 750 orders each week, most of these were for Royal Enfields covering a span of over 80 years. During these years Royal Enfields made in Redditch and in India have produced countless different models and upgrades. It is therefore very important to know the exact model and year of your Royal Enfield before ordering. The accessory catalogue on our website is primarily aimed at the various models of Bullet from 1948 to present day, however there are an ever increasing number of parts which are suitable for any Royal Enfield or virtually any motorcycle
