As you know, ICBC has this insurance bracket for motorcycles and scooters.

Motorcycles
The other 4 rate classes for motorcycles are:
311 (111-400 cc)
312 (401-750 cc)
313 (751-1150 cc)
314 (over 1150 cc)

Then I came across this forum.
Boring out a bike, new size is a higher insurance bracket, would you tell ICBC?

So my question is, would big bore kit increase your insurance rate?

Here are things that I gathered by reading BC Sportbikes:
-Turbocharging will NOT increase your insurance rate
-Big Bore(or long stroke) kit will NOT increase your insurance rate.
For example, say you have a GSX-R750 and bore it up to 790cc, so you go tell ICBC you got a GSX-R790, which does NOT exist in their system, so ICBC will just register your bike as a GSX-R750.
