Guys it's xornr89 here again to question those smart bikers!
Thanks for all your time by the way teaching this newbie, i won't let you guy down!

So my question for the 5th of november is...

"Precisely, what is 'bore and stroke?'"

I might have confused myself on this one... Please somebody with the brains! XD Thanks in advance guys!

better explanation then I could give in a short time:

Bore is how wide the cylinder is, measured from side to side at the widest point.
Stroke is how far the piston pushes, measured from when it's furthest from the top of the cylinder to where it's the closest.

Formula for displacement per cylinder is:
Stroke^squared * Bore * .7845
Then multiply by the number of cylinders for the total motor displacement.

Went through that in school, got bored enough to write myself a calculator program to do it for me... lol
