Re: bored cylinder

I presume you mean that the added bore raises the effective compression ratio.
2 strokes have relatively low effective compression ratios to start with
Try pump premium gas and listen for detonation. If you hear any try adding octane boost additive to the gas.

Re: bored cylinder

Also, it is important that your carb is jetted properly for your mods, riding and weather conditions. Also, proper spark plug heat range should be looked at which can help control detonation, if any.
