Banshee SE Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 What do you guys think about these piston? Anyone that actually are using it? I need a set for a bike that I'm going to sell but I don't want to spend too much like to buy a new Wiseco kit but neither I want to use the cheaper ones. http://www.ebay.com/itm/310729820352?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Banshee SE Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 Now I read well "vito's style" so they are not original Vitos plus made in Taiwan, I guess will be better stay away!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
ETR174 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 They are also cast (garage material). Those won't last long. I prefer Wiseco's. Quote
ETR174 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) This is only $30 more than the pistons alone but it gives you everything else neede like the head and cylinder gasket, spark plugs, reed gaskets, and o-rings. http://www.ebay.com/itm/65mm-Pistons-Top-End-Gaskets-Spark-Plug-Yamaha-YFZ350-Banshee-1987-2006/390948689604?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25881%26meid%3Dcba51dd5b5b04cf7938b2a50f5c3f0f2%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D10819%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D110825103983&rt=nc Edited October 20, 2014 by ETR174 Quote

Cast is so brittle in everything else, just thought it would be the same for pistons which heat up to 200+ degrees farenheit. Quote
