Max Bore Size Update
Posted by on
In recent days we have discovered an issue with the max bore size for the Mini Swift and KA100 engines. In both cases, when using the largest size piston available, if the clearance is excessive (a well-worn engine), there is a chance the stated maximum bore size could be exceeded.
Until further notice (the 2024 fiche factory document) the following maximum bore sizes will be in effect.
- Mini Swift - 42.21mm (1.662")
- KA100 - 48.69mm (1.917")

Swift Airbox Tubes
Recently we have discovered that there have been a very small number of airbox tubes for the Mini Swift that were produced outside the specifications defined on the factory fiche document. The overall length is too short. Some of these have made their way into the U.S. market and have been discovered in several areas (race [...]
Notice: X30 Gearbox Venting
The vent fitting onto the X30 crankcase is provided because the gears compartment (like all the gears compartments) need to be vented. The air contained into the gears compartment is heated by the aluminum walls, by the oil and by the gears themselves, as all these parts are heated up during engine operation. As a result, [...]
Mini Swift Wiring Harness Update
A new fiche document has been posted (353/I) that shows the new wiring harness and button system recently introduced for the Mini Swift engine. This system features larger and improved buttons. There is no performance gain. The new system is now coming on new engines and also may be retrofitted to older models.
Swift/KA/X30 Crankcase "USA" Markings
In the latest production of the Mini-Swift, KA100 and X30 engines, the USA marking has been removed from the crankcase so as to unify the production to be the same as other markets.The engine serial numbers will still be dedicated to the USA market to verify the production and importation.
