So I know how to use a micrometer but a good one is so expensive. So now I have this issue. I bought the bike as a project. Before it would take 30 plus kicks to get it to run. And it did. But no back pressure. So I took the head off and I could move the piston side to side which tells me the piston is to small. So I bought the piston that belongs to that motor. Same issue. It just wiggles in the jug. The question. Without taking the jug to a shop, how do I know which one to buy without buying 5 pistons.

Without getting an accurate measurement of the cylinder, it's just guess work as to what piston to buy.

I'd take the cylinder to a bike shop or machine shop and have them measure the cylinder.

I agree with @wanrep on having a machine shop size it up and or bore it out with the appropriate piston dimensions of need be. However now re jetting the carb will come into play as well as a few other things like power bands etc. Maybe look on eBay for a oem used head ?

      Bike lift
      By Frank Angerano
      Take a look at this. I just ordered it. Wondering what your thoughts are ? I mainly like to get my bikes up In the air so I’m not killing my back any more.  I either build up some stuff I have laying around etc but this looks like it’s going to work out well.

      Lift kit issue
      By spotman1983
      I have a 2006 suzuki 700 king quad and I bought a 2 inch lift that attach to the shocks, the front works great, but only the side without the muffler fits on the back. I can't get the other side to drop far enough down to put the shock back in, almost like the axle wont let it. Anyone have any suggestions?

      Yamaha special "L" plug on head.
      By chem3233
      I have a 1998 yamaha grizzly 600 4x4 I have put back to life but as soon as I had all the bugs out it blew the special "L" plug out. What causes this? Is there something special I have to do to replace this?

      Friend bought a New Textron Wildcat XX
      By Ajmboy
      One of my good friends just added this 2018 Textron Wildcat XX to his garage. He already has an RZR and a few quads but said he only wants to ride this thing now because it’s that awesome. I’m still waiting to find some time and go out with him and hit the trails. Here’s some pics..
