Has anyone actually run these in your two stroke? I can get a Namura kit for half the price of Wiseco, and I know you get what you pay for.... usually.
Are these are horrible as the price suggests? Looking to freshen up a 2007 KX250

I dont, so I avoid Namura trash.
Namura- #1 piston choice of Bubba sellin his '85 cr250 on craigslist
The Shop
TLDR: go with cp, je, or wiseco.
I bought a CR125 with one already installed and I ran the piss out of it for about 50 hours. Sold it to a friend for cheap, with the knowledge it has hours on it and he replaced it.
It really depends on whether or not everything else is up to spec and in fantastic condition. I would say they work okay, but they will be the weak link.
Also, a dropped skirt(hah) is more than likely from an oval bore and piston slap.
OP just stick an OEM in and you’re GTG.
I bought a top end kit, all OEM for $109.00 for a RM 85.
"They sure as hell wouldn't stand behind their product when 1/8" of a circlip broke off, taking the cylinder and head with it.
From Namura:
"I was able to run this by our warranty staff. What we are willing to do is replace the piston kit. Due to the abnormal nature of this failure, this is all I am authorized to provide."
Wtf! if it was a normal failure they'd have covered the cylinder/head? There were maybe 2-3 tanks of fuel run through the motor, it wasn't some high hour deal. The rest of the circlip stayed in the piston, just about 1/8" of the clip broke off. Metallurgy issue, imo.
They can pound sand."
