TeamBigginRacing Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hey..i have a 87 shee and was riding for awhile2hours or so with my buddy on his raptor660..anyways i wanted to see how it ran so we switched! we were draging down a stright road and my shee cut off! well i found i lost comp in the right piston! So i loaded it up went home and took her apart found the right piston broke on the exhaust side...top of the piston where the exhaust port is broke down to the ring! Ok walls were not 2 bad so i took it to the dealer showed my buddy and he said it would have to be bored out! the piston welded it self to the wall! Well my question is the top of the piston was very clean...i could read # off of it!! Other side was black norm..i was looking around @ all the forms and just wanted to see what u guys think???And it blew parts of the piston at the carb... I have pix will not upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
