overrevtricky Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 What argument? Wisecos, tried tested and true, nothing but. Yep. Have used em in 6 different bikes, love em. I'm sure someone out there, for whatever reason doesn't like em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have used nothing but Wisecos in EVERY ATV, dirt bike, jet ski, and even a couple of V8 engines I have worked on. Never had a problem with them, but somebody on here is stirring things up by saying something to the effect of Wiseco is pulling a Ricky Stator on us and going to overseas manufacturing.

01banch Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I voted Wiseco But I do like WSM as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 umm, why does the poll include vitos and namura, but not wsm......i think that wsm is generally the biggest weisco competitor, well over the other brands.......i "penciled in" wsm, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 umm, why does the poll include vitos and namura, but not wsm......i think that wsm is generally the biggest weisco competitor, well over the other brands.......i "penciled in" wsm, lol WSM gets my vote aswell! Wiseco is my 2nd choice if I can't get a WSM for the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overrevtricky Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Just ordered a WSM kit. This will be the first time I haven't used Wisecos, but looking to try something new. Hope it works out like some of you guys say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone82 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I know I'm probably the outcast on this one but I'm running MH Pistions. Two Years strong on them with no problems, couldn't beat the price at the time and I won't stop at buying another set, if and when I need them. 2nd comes wiseco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorK Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wiseco hands down I've used them in several builds with not a single problem.somebody said they for some wisecos recently and they seem heavier then they used to be,wiseco changed some piston to give the skirt more strength I saw the new piston rebuilding my 250R a few years back when I looked under on the skirt although older style pistons are still out there left over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEE HP Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 vitos power piston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 wiseco's are my choice when it comes to small motors. a nice set of custom JE's would be awesome haha. yeh a good piston is pretty important but your tune keep everything together, a good tune will make a cheap cast piston last. unless your making serious power and break away forced come into it. most piston failures are from a lean out, bad tune, foreign material, excessive heat or lack of lubrication.

overrevtricky Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 lol Wiseco is taking this one by storm, somehow not a surprise!! You guys that use WSM pistons, what does the quality look like on those bad boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 but somebody on here is stirring things up by saying something to the effect of Wiseco is pulling a Ricky Stator on us and going to overseas manufacturing. I've been keeping my eye on that as well... I gotta get a new set of slugs for my motor this year, hopefully it's not the case. With the state of the economy, it wouldn't surprise me although I would be dissapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
