Just a quick message - did you get your big bore kit today?

If so, have you checked it fits your bike/engine?

I got mine sent for my 2001 M600 - and its the wrong kit, the kit is for a pre 1998 engine, so wont fit at all

Check the part number if you have an engine from 1998 onwards - you need kit number: DU96401698C

If you have the DU96401697C that is for the earlier engine.

The easy check is the early kit has black barrels & no O rings, and the later kit has siver barrels & O rings - and pistons are different too, as is the base gasket.

Looks like I'll be on the phone to JHP in the morning - I did wonder when the o rings didnt turn up with the kit, as they are shown in the catalogue.
