This should help....
That site should help to show what is meant by "strokes".
Unless of course you're asking about the kind that humans suffer from (which would be an odd question to ask in a motorcycle forum
).
In that case look here......

Building a stroker motor involves increasing the travel(stroke) up and down of the piston. This involves a longer rod, or moving rod (crank pin) on the wheels. This usually also needs someway for clearance. This can be head work (machining), special pistons, or stroker plates. Most parts are easily had from aftermarket companies like CCI. Also from motor companies like S&S.
Also does anyone have any diagrams on how a five stroke (miller) motor works? These have been experimented with since the 20s but I have never seen one or heard of them ever going into production. Last article I read about these was in 2001.

I found this very useful, it talks about torque, horsepower, bore and stroke.

It's not as visual as the Howstuffworks illustration but has some good examples of using a right gear in the right situation.
