Actual displacement

[retread]

Sitting here waiting for lab results, I got on BRP's website and started looking up Spyder things. With a bore of 97 mm and a stroke of 68 mm, you get a figure of 1005.0166 cc. I thought it was 998.

You found that extra few cc men are always looking for. :thumbup:

I hope your right. I will head right down to the garage and rip those 990 stickers off and hit ebay for 1000cc decals. I bet my PE Spyder will go for 18k now !!!:roflblack:

Bore is 97 mm, but stroke is 67.5 mm, giving a displacement of 997.6 cc.

 

[coz]

why not call it a 1000

why not call it a 1000. why round it down and not up like everybody else does. 998 is way closer to 1000 than it is to 990. 1000 sounds so bad a$$.[ plus it makes for BIGGER stickers]:roflblack:

I don't believe '990' is the displacement, but the engine series, as I understood it when I asked my dealer.

 

[Rayelljay]

Would you like to round your 296 to 300....454 to 500.
I shudder to think what Duc 916's would think.
Nah, leave it alone.

There are advantages to being under 1000cc. Some insurance rates break at 1000cc and my maintenance contract was less because it was under 1000cc so don't change the designation to 1000 instead of 998. There are NO advantages to calling it 1000cc.

You are correct, it has never been called a 990cc motor by BRP, it's always been 998cc. 990 is the class of v-twin by Rotax.

 

[spyder@sg]

but the question is why round down to 990, and not just stay with 998 on the sticker?

My guess is there are varying displacements within the series.

They aren't rounding anything down, they just used it as a handy name for the series. The RT is series 991. Probably not a coincidence, but it follows a pattern that Rotax seems to use.

 

[Bob Denman]

As a couple of us have already pointed out... "990" is the series; and not the displacement :gaah:
Or do us RT "991" ryders feel superior to all of you underpowered "990" guys?? :roflblack:

Arntu: Let us know when the 1000cc stickers arrive... :thumbup:

This was was of the first mods I did on my Spyder. Got folks all worked up when they didn't have a "Special Edition" Spyder. :roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

:thumbup: So where can we get those stickers from??
Hey Arntu: Are you listening??? :lecturef_smilie:
