Well I FINALY got my +2MM LT250R cylinder back from la sleeve, and I noticed that the piston skirts are WAY thicker than my old ones. Any disadvantages?

 

anyone?

 

Disadvantages??? Hardly. More durability & better heat dissipation.

 

better heat dissipation with the thicker walled one?

 

Better heat sink.

The only disadvantage I see is weight.

 

It's a good thing. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Is it a Wiseco piston (says on box)?

 

yup, its a wiseco.

the new one is just alot thicker and heavier than my old one, so I was just wondering if i was going to run into any issues. (i guess it was a bad time to ask though since i just finished putting it in lmao)

 

Life is a trade-off; and so are pistons.

Heavy is not good for several reasons.
#1 It will want to pull the rod in half at high RPM.
#2 It won't want to RPM as quickly.

It's always good to get as close to OEM weights unless the entire rotating assemble is balanced.

 

It's probably a standard Wiseco. The last one was probably a Wiseco-Lite. So in all reality, this new piston is closer to original weight anyhow.

I wouldn't worry one bit about it. Just ride the quad!!!

 

Piston weight is VERY important on a single cylinder ATV motor.
This affects balance/vibration/durability.
Try to keep to as close to the OE piston weight or a biy lighter if possible.
