    I have a 2002 M2 Cyclone and it is a beautiful bike. I have put a ton of miles on the bike and i believe it is time for a rebuild. The bike began using more and more oil at the beginning of this summer. There is also a slight knock in one of the pistons which I think is a pin or a ring. Either Way it is time for a rebuild. I would like to kick it up a few cc's. I am not sure whether to go ahead and have my 1200 engine bored over or if i can put new jugs on the bike or what. I want to know what the best decision would be and what size i should bump the engine up to. Also I am curious if there is a manual out there that will allow me to make these modifications myself?

    Yeah, search their page. They have more than one. You'll have to punch the cases out to go bigger.
