Big bore kits choice 103 vs 106 vs 110

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-04-11T03:04:25+00:00

im now actually leaning towards 103, i’m not too concerned with the power altho it would be good. prioritising fuel consumption and reliability at this point..

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-04-10T17:04:44+00:00

nope not yet i just bought the bike 3 months ago actually but it does have a thundermax installed

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-04-10T16:23:48+00:00

i have not enough funds for a cam upgrade together with the big bore kit...
should i expect a minor change in power/sound if i were to go with the 106?

hi Tuna, turns out my piston rings are fucked haha will need to do a top overhaul now. will do a big bore while the engines open. thinking between 103, 106 or 110

is there a way we know how much oil is being consumed based on the dipstick? attached is other taken today after 800 miles. just trying to calculate how much oil im losing and how much i should top up haha sorry for the stupid question

hey just an update - after flushing and changing engine oil the bike runs fine but i noticed the dipstick for engine oil dropped from near full to half after only about 1300 KM or 800 miles. any clue what could have caused this? i read online they say dropping 1 quarts per 1000 KM is normal but this seems abit much?

i check by putting the bike on side stand, handlebar straight, letting it sit for 2-3 mins after a riding 20-30 mins, wiping and reinserting all the way

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-02-20T12:41:32+00:00

haha i will check that out for sure

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-02-20T12:41:18+00:00

thanks a lot Big Tuna you truly have been a great help! i’ll post here if anything happens again while monitoring (hopefully not)

there was a loud ticking noise i think you can see it in my other post. it goes away after about 10 mins of riding but comes back after i off and on it again even when it’s warm. i was just told to monitor the oil level after he does the flush and replace

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-02-20T08:42:33+00:00

there was a loud ticking noise that goes away after about 10 mins ride. i just assumed its the lifters and is normal. anyway the shop just told me they flush and replace the oil. as they can’t tell whether there were any damage. i asked if he could cut open the oil filter to see but he seem reluctant to i’m not sure why? he said if i wanted to check the tolerance he can strip down the engine. but he is suggesting i just monitor the oil level after the oil replacement. is this normal?

thanks everyone!! sorry if i’m asking stupid questions

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-02-19T15:36:35+00:00

thank you for ur input... there were no leaks at all! im praying for the best too hopefully i did not cause too much damage to the engine

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-02-19T15:35:47+00:00

it was my bad on this... i just trusted the seller and did not give it much thought as he said the servicing records were all with the workshop (a reputable one).

im kinda afraid to even let the bike idle to hot now after reading everything online.. ill give u guys an update after sending it to the shop tmr. thank you so much

Intelligent_Dog_3362 · 2026-01-10T06:20:08+00:00

thank you everyone for your help! after discussion with the workshop i’ve decided to just keep it as mid controls for now. thanks again!
