Originally developed for my racing endeavors on a CBR300R, this kit has dozens of race wins, two class championships, and one lap record to its credit. With tens of thousands street and off-road miles logged, this is a proven and reliable setup for improving your CRF's performance, capability, and fun factor.
This piston and cylinder set turns your CRF300L into a true 300 with an additional 14.8cc while also increasing compression from the stock 10.7:1 to 11.5:1. When combined with the required Stage 3.0 parts which include a high-flow air filter, hi-flow velocity stack, CBR cams, performance exhaust, and Stage 3.0 ECU tune, you get a massive increase in torque (+25%) and horsepower (+34%). Throw on a CNC ported cylinder head and Stage 3.5 ECU tune for even more gains (+30% torque and +39% horsepower).
To ease installation, we now pre-set ring gap, install and orient the rings on the piston, install the right (cam-chain side) wrist-pin circlip, lubricate the piston and cylinder, and then slot the piston into the cylinder. This greatly reduces the work required for installation; just drop the whole assembly onto the con-rod, install the left circlip, and press the cylinder down.
With our 301cc piston kit and full Stage 3.0 parts package you can expect faster acceleration, snappier throttle response, and easier highway cruising. See dyno charts and performance comparison below.
This piston and cylinder kit includes:
- Forged 78mm piston, 11.5:1 compression ratio
- Piston ring set, properly gapped
- Wrist pin and circlips
- New, OEM Honda cylinder bored to match piston
- Cometic head and base gaskets in custom thickness to optimize quench clearance
- Upgraded Class 10 stud nuts
- Click here for install tips and break-in guidelines
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a standalone mod! You must run the full Stage 3.0 parts package which includes:
1. 301cc piston and cylinder set
2. CBR300R camshafts
3. Stage 3.0 ECU tune

5. Twin Air hi-flow air filter
6. Hi-flow airbox lid
7. Snorkel removal
8. Performance exhaust - Yoshimura or Graves highly recommended

The big bore kit definitely transformed my 300l. Before this, i had the “stock improved” tune from 550 performance along with some air flow mods which definitely opened it up a little but Ari’s kit along with the stage 3 tune for sure took it to another level. It pulls harder in every gear, has noticeably more torque, and i can now comfortably cruise at highway speeds without it screaming.
Ari was truly a joy to work with from start to finish! I bombarded him with questions before and after i bought the kit and he always got back to me right away. He truly loves what he does and is VERY knowledgeable with the 300 motors. Thanks soo much Ari!
Ari is great! The big bore kit is a huge improvement and customer support is the best around!
I am just now getting into the upgrade, however the kit looks amazing. Everything was very well packaged and was shipped quickly. I am so stoked to feel the bike with the 301cc Big Bore.
I upgraded my ‘25 CRF 300 Rally using Ari’s list as a guide. I did all of the work myself except for having a shop install the springs and cartridges in the forks. The suspension and performance mods transformed my bike. I finally got out on a multi day camp and ride with some challenging sections and I am super happy with the stage 3.0 mods, suspension, tires, bars and grips.
Ari installed a Stage 4.5 on my 2025 Rally ABS. It was so totally worth it!
