Which piston is better?

[RollinRhino]

Stock piston are cast. Wiseco pistons are forged. What do you feel is safer and better?

[MILO]

i think that the only item that i've heard on here in which the stocker is better than aftermarket is the stator. anything else i've seen or read about has been UPGRADED to an aftermarket component.

 

if your dealer is charging you $150 just for 1 piston they are RAPING YOU! even on the yammy dealer microfiche it lists as $71. but the wiseco's are the way to go.

can you even buy oversized (stock)pistons.. everyone in the world i know buys wiseco if they need pistons so i dont even know if you can.. in most all cases aftermarket is better then stock or the shit would never sell..

I thought all your guys knew it is a felony to forge a piston :biggrin: Man I was in a bad mood from waking up with the baby all night but this thread sure cheered me up thanks!

I've never had a problem with stock pistons before. Not sure i would use them with nitrous or real high compression, though.

Once you bore your cylinder its no longer stock so a stock piston wouldn't work, so there is no point to this thread.

Incorrect.

You can get a .010 and .020 over piston from OEM Yamaha, cast.

 

.25 mm or .010 over part number is 2GU-11635-00-00

.50 mm or .020 over part number is 2GU-11636-00-00

 

I can get you the ring numbers too if you're interested....LOL.

 

While technically you are correct, a stock (64mm) piston will no longer work once the cylinders bored, you can buy an OEM cast piston from Yamaha/Dealer for oversizes, or bored cylinders up to .020.

I stand corrected even though like you say I am technically correct, thanks.

:biggrin: No need for the ring numbers though I'll stick with Wiseco.

150 per piston??!! thats fuckin insane. you can buy a set of wisecos, with pistons, rings, clips and bearings for not much more than that. 2 of them even!

 

Yeah, and $16.95 per main jet is fucking insane to..

 

I mean seriously, the only time I ever buy anything from a dealer is if I need it immediately.

 

And yeah, your better off using wiseco's rebuild kit as its cheaper and of better quality.
