rick7476 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 i need to rebuild my banshee, stock 04 with t-6 pipes on it, wonder what you guys think of the power pistons from vitos? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytech Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) if your bike is stock except for the pipes, the vito's power pistons are a good power increase. you don't want to use them if any portwork is done. I used to run them on my stock port shee, they are great pistons. add a set of boysen 2 stage reeds with them for a little bit more low end throttle resonse.

coryv4 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 i ran them. my cylinders were bored by vitos and the piston shattered after about 1 1/2 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I ran a couple sets for several years. They were wisecos I think, forged. Never had a problem. Ran em till they wore the cylinders and rattled. Took a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Food for thought... T6s do not respond as well to porting as most other pipes do. I know your cylinders aren't ported, but the power pistons will alter the port timings (a crude way to simulate certain aspects of professional port work).

dieselhead Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 i have 2 bikes running them they are a nice power upgrade without modding alot been running a year and no problems i think machine work and break in is key here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 If you need a rebuild I would just do it right with a port job and wiseco's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I had no problems with my superstocks. I liked them more then my mx port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
