Wisco ..? Believe yours is a 257 engine.... so double check application. I'm not a fan of the Mike's replacement big bore juggs.... Yeah.. it " works " but disrupts the visual lines of the Xs engine. I prefer sleeve'n.
Yamahaxs650.com has the pistons kits and the sleeves and head and base gasket. Will these work on a 72? I still will need a jug.
You can use you juggs (cylinder).... a shop will heat them... old sleeves drop out.. they bore the juggs.... heat them..insert new sleeves.. bore sleeves to pistons.. then deck the top. Not that expensive .... I've done several 750 kits....
To answer the question asked, cylinders from 1972 forward are the same with the exception of some late Special cylinders which were painted black.
1981-1982-1983 have black barrels. (or did when they were new)
No they are for 447 engines.
Gary Hoos has 256 big bore kits. Note they are 10.5 to 1 compression.

Who did you use? How much was the total cost?
I using Yamahaxs650.coms kit but I'm replacing the 256 crank with a 447 crank. Cam has to be changed also.
yes
There are these. I don't know anything about them.

Just a thought…I’ve no idea is this will work, just throwing it at the wall as they say…
could you pop the sleeves out of a xs performance big bore kit, machine out a standard barrel and stick in all the 750 guts?
I saw one on eBay recently for a decent price.
