1mm over is 760, as that is the class limit on my race bike and I had custom 62mm pistons made.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.

Lash,

Like stated 1 over in this case is 1mm.
Stock bore diameter = 61mm,    radius = 1/2 bore diameter or 30.5mm
1mm over diameter = 62mm,    radius = 1/2 bore diameter or 31mm
StockStroke      =  63mm

Using the old formula for "volume of a cylinder".  Several variations exist now.

Volume of a cylinder formula is stated as  V=πr2h
V (Volume)  =(equals) π (pi 3.1415) r2 (radius x radius) h (height/ stroke)
Entering your values in the equation
V= 3.1415,  times,   (31)2 or 961,  times,  63 (stock stroke)
V= 3.1415 x 961 x 63
V= 190,195.834 cubic Millimeters or 190.195834 cubic centimeters
Volume for 1 cylinder with a 62mm bore and 63mm stroke equals 190.195834cc
Total displacement for all 4 cylinders = 4 x 190.195834
Total displaced Volume = 760.783338 cc

That's the Math their talking about. This example doesn't include piston to cylinder wall clearance. Their are other equations that help eliminate "order of operations" mistakes. Better yet there are online displacement calculators that don't make any mistakes.

👍

There are four factory oversized pistons.
1st is +0.25mm =742cc
2nd +0.5 mm.   =748cc
3rd + 0.75mm.  =754cc
4th + 1.00mm.  =760cc

Anything over 1mm (62mm actual diameter) is considered a “big bore”.

Some DMV's consider anything older than 20years are "Classics". 45years and older are considered "Antiques".  I never thought I'd be an antique.

So 20 years = classic, 40 years = antique, what does 60+ years =?  Fossil? :D

Does that make me a fossilised antiqu dealer?
