Those lil suckers will move. We had one running at the track a couple years ago. Did real well! Since you mentioned it (is a great price on that intake and cage BTW) he switched to the 6 petal reed block. You might have seen them?. Anyway when he switched to that style cage it actually slowed some in the 1/8th. I know the 1/8th mile run means about not much to you. I just figured ide mention it. I see cool things happening with this scoot. My brother had one years ago. It was a 95, or 96 i believe? It was stock and only ran about 35mph, but man it would get there quick! I rode it around some... Mostly on the back wheel because it kept needing to wheelie.  |

I could see it hurting at stock displacement, port timings, etc. but larger cyls. should benefit I would think. |

I got this piston for about $28 but it seems flawed to me . cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370543334903 I thought I would ask some of your opinions about it. It will keep the ring from rotating but just barely. The pin almost wants to hang on the corners of the pin kerf at the ends of the ring. I have eMailed the vendor about another piston but probably won't hear from him for a day of two. Showing the extent to which the locater pin is actually within the first ring groove. New piston on rt.  Showing a greater involvement of the locater pin in the second ring grooves. Full pin dia. is difficult to see in the new piston.  Showing that the pin does extend barely enough into the groove to prevent the ring from resting beside it.  New rings placed transverse to bore to show identical cutouts despite upper locater pin being of smaller dia. Also note identical tiny kerfs at the corners of each piston skirt cutout. This exists on the opposite sides as well proving same supplier for both pistons. Paper denotes ring mfg (Riken).   [/quote] |

Kinda weird!As long as the ring cant move,it'll work OK,no great forces there,just gotta keep them from snagging the ports... :stumped:

I think I will file the sharp corners of the ring ends where they contact the round pin so they will be less likely to hang there and use the piston I guess. I'll see what the vendor says too, though.
Thanks, John.
