sangheraent Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I use wiescos because I run a stroker, but I have never had a problem with pro-x run them on all my other bikes and I run them hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 If your motor doesn't have any port work, I'd recommend going with the Vito's Pro Stock pistons. They have a dropped front edge that gives the motor the illusion that it's ported. They boost power and are very reliable. We've got a bike that dyno's at 50HP with them and he's using stock carbs, head, reeds and just Pro Circit pipes. (Stock is 34-36HP) We're going with a cool head and domes to raise compression this year as well as switching to V-force reeds. I think the Pro Stocks would fit your situation perfectly.

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 X2 That's why we're putting a cool head on his bike this season...to raise compression. He's going to run 110 or OXY 113 and race MX in the Megacross series. He's gotten 80 hrs. on them and they still look new. Good to hear your getting the same reliability as we are. How do you like the T-5's with that set-up? We're going to be testing some FMF's,CPI's, Shearers,Fat Bastards in addition to re-testing with the ProCircits. Oddly we don't have any T-5's at this point to try.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 So in the midst of a rebuild I went and ordered a .75 piston kit from ebay. Thinking I was getting a wiesco kit, I actually received two no-name pistons and am stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. I cannot return the pistons as the seller has been removed from eBay. I was wondering if anyone has used the same pistons I've received and what was their experience like. Would it be worth it to cut my losses and go with a wiseco kit? http://www.m-and-d.com/ATV-612-7821.html M&D Piston (made in Taiwan) Thanks for your input you can go broke trying to save money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10milmike Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have had Pro X pistons in my dune. Banshee for 4 years now they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynail Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Run cheap pistons the skirt falls off and locks up the crank....I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armyvet Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Run cheap pistons the skirt falls off and locks up the crank....I know im sure companies dont make pistons to just break for no apparent reason.Its not like nobody has ever threw a rod with a wiseco piston on it.Never had a problem with the wsms pistons from TDR.They have been in business longer than most of these so called "banshee experts" i would think they know what they are doing..

GYTWYPT Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I am with the other guy I dont think I would ever buy anything from a Mower and Appliance shop for my bike. I dont skimp on any of my toys. Like someone said earlier you can go broke saving money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundish2800 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Go with wiseco. Look at the guys who have the "bigger" motors thats what they run. I have never had a problem with there pistons failing. They are tried and test and have been workin for years. You get what you pay for, If this sport was cheap everyone would do it. thats why only certian people stick with it cause its not cheap.

sstaton1983 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Run cheap pistons the skirt falls off and locks up the crank....I know i ran vertex pistons off ebay for 149 with gaskets,they lasted 3 hours and the left piston dropped a skirt. if you want to practice taking your motor apart a bunch of times then run the cheap stuff.

10milmike Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Like I said before Pro X pistons seems to be really good. Have had them in my top end three years now. No problem.. I think I paid 169 for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10milmike Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Wiseco is the only piston I can run in my cheetah they are the only one I know of that make a 73.5 Piston. But in my bune banshee the pro X works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
