I did find one other account of the piston not coming to end of cylinder at TDC on the inter web. I'm putting this kit on for a friend. Piston doesn't reach end of cylinder at TDC - almost 2mm short. Ring gap is likely too large as well as cylinder slides over piston way too easily even with ring expander. Resulting in 75 psi compression using small engine comp tester. Even mo problems given piston does not fully open any ports out of the box. I imagine Honda pa50 spacer will work given same stud pattern. This is just an over-bored stock cylinder and I am over-bored with it as well. So I got that going for me . . . .

Use the stock carb with stock pilot jet. Put the 82.5 main jet in. The needle is stock at clip in the 3rd slot. Put the 2 stage reeds in. Drill some holes in your stock air breather cover. stock exhaust bolts right up. Fires right up and runs great. Have not drove it yet. It started snowing.

Little ripper

Paired this up with the standard malossi red clutch springs, dual stage power reeds, MLM side bleed, and up jetted to 82.5. the power rips start at 12 mph and take this baby to over 35+ fast. CHAMFER YOUR PORTS AND POLISH! I shredded my rings and thought the kit was toast. Chamfered, polished, new rings, and blam-o. Ripping harder than my farts after taco tuesday.

Fitted along with a MLM intake, Mikuni VM18, big UNI filter in the breeze, and a MLM peoples sidebleed pipe.
Well made kit, affordable performance for the masses, you want more torque! go get it!
Exhaust port is as cast (which is how suzuki does the stock anyway), I polished that to a mirror to keep carbon at bay for as long as I can, light chamfer on the tops and bottoms of the port windows, good to go!!!
the port windows in this jug are much bigger than your stock jug, its an alternative for those who want a ported engine and all the power that brings but don't have the tools or know how to do it themselves, fit this kit and wham bamm thank you 'mam!!!
Kit measures at 56cc, not 60cc, don't let that put you off though, its bigger and better
