I have a pair of stock bore Wiseco pistons. They are still in good shape, and my buddy is about to re-do his Banshee's stock top end. Would it be O.K. to use my old Wiseco pistons on his bike, if we put new rings on them and hone his cylinders?

You just have to take the clutch case cover off. Once you remove the shifter, you can slide the shaft out. Check the clutch adjustment bolt when you take the clutch cover off. Mine broke a while back, and I had a lot of trouble shifting it.

Yeah, I used the Red Hi-Temp RTV silicone. Sounds good, I'm not going to worry about it then. Thanks

I'm replacing the rubber cylinder seals on my Banshee. Where do you get that sealer that the clymer manual calls for? I can't even remember the name of the stuff. Supposed to put it on the seals when you install them on the cylinder head.

RTV sealant. I'm getting mixed reviews on this.

Yeah, I saw some Hondabond at the Honda shop today. I might go get some of that, because I hate my Yamaha dealer. I've already put my case halves together with the red stuff, but y'all got me worried, so I think I'm going to split them apart and use the right shit. Thanks

Just wondering if Hi-Temp (Red) RTV silicone gasket maker is ok to use when putting the case halves back together?

The pistons do have some numbers stencilled into the tops of the domes, but I think I've got this figured out. They must be aftermarket pistons, I just don't know what kind. Definitely not Wiseco. So I went ahead and bought some Wiseco pro-lites for it. Screw it, now at least I know what I have in there, and its good product. Thanks

Any advice is welcome. I'm in the process of rebuilding my banshee motor. I'm just about done, I've got the pistons left to do. I have stock (standard) pistons. I ordered a set of stock (standard) piston rings from bikebandit. I put the rings on, and they were way too thick. I measured the pistons and rings with a micrometer, and this is what I came up with: The piston diameters measured 2.515". OK. I checked my Clymer manual, and that is the measurement of a stock piston. BOTH the old rings measured .038". The new rings I ordered measured .047" and .058". I put them on, the thicker one in the top ring slot, and it was obvious that they were incorrect. I cross-referenced the part number on the piston ring box, and it shows up correct, that they are standard size piston rings. I just don't get it. Why are these rings not the right size? Why don't they fit correctly in my pistons? Is there any way to cross-reference the stencilled numbers on the tops of the piston domes? I thought maybe somebody put the wrong rings in the box at the company, but both boxes? Unlikely. There is a possibility these aren't stock Yamaha pistons, cause I bought the bike used, but they sure do look like stock Yamaha pistons. I'm really curious about the writing on the tops of the pistons. Anybody got any hints?
