[QUOTE="erdento, post: 25290, member: 19639"] Strick: I just replaced the piston and rings, too. For the 2000 KTM the piston is a Vertex part--the name was cast into the underside of the crown. KTM had been using Mahle which is very high quality but expensive. I opted for another Vertex as a replacement although the Wieseco piston seemed to be a good quality replacement. To obtain the correct base gasket thickness, I removed the existing ones (there were two stacked together), measured them, and took them to the dealer to obtain correct replacements. I was unable to obtain the correct left hand side power valve cover gasket. I'm glad I checked the piston; there was considerable blow by on the skirt and indications of a too lean state--small burn spot on the exhaust port side of the crown and burnt oil on the underside of the crown. I think one season is about it between replacements. [/QUOTE]
