980cc Big Bore Kit

The Ducati Performance big bore kit is a 980cc engine upgrade designed to enhance the performance of select Ducati motorcycles. This comprehensive kit, part number 96416097C, includes essential components such as cylinder barrels, pistons, piston rings, piston circlips, and piston pins, allowing for a significant increase in displacement. As a New Old Stock item, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a part no longer available through standard Ducati channels. This big bore kit is specifically engineered to fit early Ducati Monster 900 models produced between 1993 and 1999, as well as SuperSport 900 models from 1990 to 1998. The kit facilitates an increase in engine displacement to 980cc from the original 96mm bore. While the kit is largely in new condition, there is a minor cosmetic imperfection: a tiny piece of one belt flange is damaged, as shown in the product images. However, this damage is noted as a relatively easy repair and is not considered a technical impediment to installation or function.
