Now that it is the off season I am going to be rebuilding by top end. I got roughly 50 hours on the bike now. Right now I am running a 40% mix of 110 and pump. Am I better off sticking with a stock piston? if so which one (the oem parts list show two different options)? Or should I look into a high compression piston or a aftermarket stock like piston?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
Also do they make high comp pistons for 2 strokes? Cant say ive ever seen one...
The Shop
You will want to take a squish band measurement before you start playing around with compression. Getting the head or base of barrel cut is the best way of increasing compression. Alternatively you can purchase different thickness base gaskets from Athena. This is a cheap and easy way to experiment with different squish measurements.
