blaster2006 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 i keep hearing from people that stock pistons are better than wiseco, that makes sense to me because on the box it says "wiseco forged pistons", meaning they are trying to copy stock ones but just cant do it aswell? so which one is longer lasting and better quality? so if i was to bore out my juggs. assuming the stock and wiseco were the same price, which set of pistons should i get?

vulvafan537240 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 wiseco. and forged means that its forged, not cast. :shoothead: Quote

Fireroad Express Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 its hard to go wrong with wiseco. i can't remember ever using OEM pistons after a rebuild. Quote

locogato11283 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 im dumbfounded by this post. stock pistons are in no way better than anything. who the fuck told you this? we shall stone them and then hang them. Quote
sredish Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) that makes sense to me because on the box it says "wiseco forged pistons", meaning they are trying to copy stock ones but just cant do it aswell? see. this is the kind of talk that is always getting you in trouble. it makes ZERO sense. Forged means they're forged not cast (google it) and very strong. They're not trying to copy anything, they're making a superior piston. Go Wiseco. Edit: And why did you put this in the Gen. Discussion section, that's another mark against you. You can probably search Wiseco in the proper forum (Repairs & Mods) and get your answer. Edited March 7, 2009 by sredish Quote
TJScott Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 wiseco pistons are a tiny bit lighter and almost impossible to shatter because they are forged. the only time i use oem pistons is when i spend nights at the track and change my piston every other week. Quote
blaster2006 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 ok.. now i know. also the stock pistons from the dealer ( yamaha) cost $150 per piston, comes with the rings only, no circlips or wrist pins. so id spend about $350 if i bought a set of stockers with the circlip wrist pin etc. Quote
