hey guys,my piston rings went out on my 06 wolvy 450 so time for a new piston kit.my question is does the stock sleeve have enough material to bored to fit a wiseco 85.5mm piston?the stock bore is 84.5mm???????also what jet or carb work should i do???

 

I don't think that cylinder has a sleeve it is stock . I believe it is a plated cylinder and can not be bored, how ever it can be sleeved and bored in the future. My opinion is if your cylinder is messed up or you want more performance, look into a big bore kit, it comes with piston & rings, cylinder wrist pin and gaskets.

 

so the stock cylinder can be bored .020 over?i remember my buddy's warrior 350 stock cylinder got bored and got a new over sized piston installed on a stock cylinder

 

Warrior 350 is a total different engine. I don't believe you can bore the stock wolverine cylinder without resleveing it.

 

okay well then the LA sleeve kit will be what i buy,it comes with a wiseco high compression piston,but should i get it oversized?

 

That would be up to you.you should check with your local machine shop for the labor price for installing the sleeve ,sometimes it is expensive The last one I did was a KX 85 and it was cheaper to get a new cylinder then to have the old one sleeved

 

you got a point,because LAsleeve charges 120 dollars to install the sleeve plus shipping,but i can buy a new oem cylinder for 260 dollars,then just get a std bore piston and be done with it

 

If your not planning to go all out, port, polish, bore , stroke, new cam, oversized valves etc. Your better off just staying stock. Way cheaper

 

yeah just gonna buy a new cylinder and a std bore wiseco piston,quick question were did you get thoose handle bar lights?and the brake reservoir cover

 

I am running Rigid Industries Dually led lights on the handlebars. Used to have piaa 510 atps but trashed them in a rollover. The leds are brighter and cheaper anyway. Also they are waterproof. The brake and throttle covers are done by a guy who is on several atv forums. Custom Covers by Greg is what the company name was and his username is gwrgrizz700 on all the forums he is a member of. Not sure if he is a member here or not. I ride with him every few months and last time was in April down in WV. He recently told me he doesn't have time to do them anymore due to his job. He usually would do 1 or 2 big orders a year from members on multiple sites at once.
