is someone have try the piston Cp 12.1 or 13.1.cause ive here they are made for gas pump?

13:1 would lead me to belive you would need race gas? ive always thought about 12:1 is the highest your gonna wanna use on pump gas.

It's possible.. it is a large bor w/ a short stroke. Lends to being able to run a bit more compression. I'd be worried about the extra heat though. Seems to be one point where the DS needs a little aftermarket.

The 250F Dirtbikes run nearly 13:1 compression ratio on pump. I think KTM actually runs 13.8:1 on their 250.

I ran 13:1 in my 450r for years on pump gas with no problems.

Your cam also has alot to do with being able to run pump gas. There is static compression, which is what everyone is referring to and there is dynamic compression. This takes into account the cam timing. DCR is what really matters.
