Suzuki 185 (64mm) piston and a 115x60 crank. What would the CC’s be?

a basic acu method of calculating cubic capacity is bore x bore x stroke x 0.785

so 64 x 64 x 60 x 0.785 = 192.92 cc

We're does the 0.785 come from why not 1mm

Use one of the on line calculators : 193cc

The first 3 figures only calculate the square capacity. The 78.5% is the percentage which converts it to a cylinder.

0.785 has been used because it's Pi ÷ 4

Calculation for volume is PI x R x R x H

PI is 22/7. Divide by 4 instead of dividing the diameter of the piston by 2 twice.

Bit beyond me all this pi stuff, but I like Darrell’s explanation which I have memorised for future reference.

that's wrong!


use this

or this

or this

They all give the same result, 193.01943395806632 which most like mine round up to 193.02.

That's because 0.785 has been rounded down its actually 0.78539816339 😁😁
