installing a piston is pretty easy, and i know i can do it. my dad thinks its some super complicated ordeal.

[maxwellsteel]

Has he watched this video?

It is really simple.

Thanks for the comment!

When ya slide the cylinder up to take it off be careful with the dowels between the jug and case. Dont want one to slip out a fall into the case. Also put a towel around the rod to cover up the opening in the case when ya pop those wristpin clips out, dont want one of those down in there either.

Thanks for the input Bo, that means a lot to me.

Hey Max ! I just bought this piston, how long did it take you to install this ? Thanks !

[suzukiholdenman]

@MaxSteelATV yep will do, thanks heaps!!

[MaxSteelATV]

@suzukiholdenman Mine didn't have a bearing. I don't know if yours is suppost to have a bearing. I would seggest getting a manual or just searching goggle or calling some shops that work on them. Good luck!

[suzukiholdenman]

Just at the end of the video when you seperated the piston from the rod was there a bearing on that pin that holds it all together? I'm doing a top end of and older bike (two stroke) that had a bearing, the new wossner piston kit has no bearing. Is that how it's supposed to go or did they forget the bearing?

[doobyboy21]

Are you running on your stock sprockets ???

[petthekittyz]

who makes the 11.5:1 piston? can you still run pump gas with that?

[MaxSteelATV]

At the time yes, HC2. Now I have since put in a Web cam 50/50 and a 11.5:1 piston.

[petthekittyz]

you do a cam while you had the head off?
