did read that it is to do with the pistons being cast not forged or vice versa, really only the early 600 s (like mine) loud exhausts kill it a bit and it is more of a cold weather thing with mine. the 680 kit includes the usual piston, rings and barrells but new they are about 600 quid? Give baines racing a bell as they were getting some. more oompf, no noise and less money in the pocket but then you can't take it with you as they say.
