I just received my 67mm dia WISECO prolite piston and the information with it says .05mm is the normal clearance for it but that with modified engines more clearance may be desirable.
So my bike has a ProCircuit pipe which boosts performance but it still has the limiting 28mm carburetor. And the cylinder is steel sleeved.
So what would you recommend for clearance?
Kawasaki recommends .07-.09mm and I once cold seized a piston on my KDX that had .08mm clearance so going less than .07 spooks me although I learned my lesson and don't ever gas it hard when the engine is cold.
