zr2highrider Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I finally got enough money to do a cheap top end rebuild ($250 for a piston kit). Just looking on ebay I found a few brands for around $200. I just wanted to get a set of pistons that are reliable and will last me a long time. Any thoughts on what brand I should get? (need piston - 64.75mm, rings, bearings, and gasket kit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheesandrider Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I would not run anything but a Wiseco based piston, and only let people that KNOW what they are doing modify them if you need sometning different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite.. 68mm and smaller I use WSM.. I'm forced to use Wiseco in my new build.. since nothing else is available.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zr2highrider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks guys. I used a wiseco in my XR200 a few years ago. Since this is my first 2 stroke top end rebuild I didnt know anything about the coatings or anything or even if it mattered. Should be orderin up some wiseco's tonight.
