If you get a wiseco be sure and let it warm up good especially when its cold cuz it will seize up.

With the 10:1 you can run regular pump gas and you'll notice lots of extra power. With the 11:1 you might have to run an octane booster or race fuel. Although an octane booster should be alright. I'd get the 10:1 if I were you because you can get gas anywhere then and not have to worry about using an octane booster.

No you can get a standard size and drop one in. Just check some prices in dirtwheels and order from the cheapest one is what I would do.

Remember to hone out the cylinder using a cylinder hone, and check your cylinder for deep scores cuz if so you'll have to bore it to the next size, a cylinder hone only takes out microfine inperfections.

Hone then maesure the bore, then order a piston to fit the bore, don't forget to check your ring gap before installing. While apart this would be a good time to make her breeth a little better.

I have had bad luck with WISECO pistons. I would'nt wish taking the motor apart and flushing piston bits out on anyone.
Also, with the 11/1 piston you can run octane booster to fulfill octane requirements. This can lead to other problems....the octane booster leans the fuel mixture a tad and gives the Wiseco a reason (like it needed one!) to seize. Wanna know why they are cheap? Because they are moto to moto throw aways.
