Xplorer 400L Piston question
Hey all.
I have a 98 Xplorer 400 I'm tryin to get going for a friend.
The piston is Fried and I need to get a new one.
One ebay I have found plenty of them but they all seem to be for Older Models.
The ports are longer, The one I'm working on has the small ports.
Will the bigger port pistons work on this newer style ATV?
Thanks
Tom

Xplorer 400L Piston question
Let me show you something
This is from a 98 xplorer 400L http://i140.photobucket.com/al...quawsher/98piston.jpg
This is from a 95 xplorer 400L http://i140.photobucket.com/al...awsher/1995piston.jpg
Look at the ports on the side of the piston.
I have the smaller one, So what the guy has listed doesn't really matter since the Xplorer was built through a range or years where they started building them with the smaller ported Piston. I just don't know why or if the larger ported piston will work or not.
Hate to buy it and find out its the wrong one

Xplorer 400L Piston question
Rick I sent you a PM
I still don't see the answer I'm looking for here though. Why the change in Port size on the pistons from early to later Year models. and say I have everything Mic'ed and order the right size, will the large port pistons work in an engine that had a small port piston in it. Our plan was to get a 40 over piston in hand and have the machine shop match the cylinder to the piston. I have measured it and it's still stock.
