Message: [QUOTE="bclapham, post: 504072, member: 25565"] it sounded like the wrong piston to me also. did you hear any chattering, or rattles or pinging? was there still water left in it? were the circlips still in the piston? snagged rings? who did the top end, was it you or ther shop? i have the same bike and went way too long on a stock top end. when i did it, i put a wiseco piston in and was amased how much quieter the engine ran! maybe you can use this as an excuse to go for a big bore? at least this way, you can get a very precise bore/piston match up.
