I just did the top end on my bike, the piston was worn a lot and it was hitting the powervalve the slightest bit. As the revs came down, in neutral or riding, it would make the worst sounding rattle. With the new piston in and powervalve tab fixed its wayyy quieter. Motor noise went down substantially, no rattle, more compression, more power, starts first kick. You have to remember that the bore has to be bigger than the piston so the piston will mic out smaller.
