Default Piston size for LT 80... one oversize

Anyone know what the stock size piston and rings are on the LT 80?

Or the one oversize is?

Thanks!

Stock is 50mm.
1st bore is 50.5mm.
FYI:: I use stock Suzuki or Pro-X pistons.

Wiseco. eh..
Make sure whoever bores it to allow for .0035 clearance.
Is your cylinder scored much?

Scored much? Not sure, I'm just a Mom here trying to get all the info I can to get this lt 80 running good. I'm going by what my mechanic has been saying, and getting a little more info here too.
Looking for someone to bore the cylinder for me, you in GA?

Nope. Pa.
Cylinders are usually scored some. Whether 1/4mm will clean it up is why I asked.
I'd be happy to do it all for you if you can't find anyone.
So you don't know if there is a top end problem?
What's the machine doing (or not doing)?

I took it to a shop (good friends shop) who told me it needed new rings. I made the mistake of buying after market rings (wiseco 50.5mm) and they apparently were too thin so they didn't fix our problem. The bike is a 1996 and it just won't start. It turns over and over. If I hit with starting fluid it will start, but after we ride for a while over 40 mins or so, it sometimes stalls and won't start again. Got a new carb installed, new plug, cleaned fuel tank and new fuel lines, new air filter, we use the existing fuel pump that mixes the gas and oil, although I was told cut the pump off and mix gas oil our self.

So meanwhile, this bike has been having issues we got a Honda trx 70 for him to ride but really want this Lt 80 going. At this point I'm scared of two strokes.

I hate to second guess the mechanic but I am!

I just purchased Wiseco Pistons and Rings and I'm going to have the cylinders bored out. Hope this works.
