99screaminshee Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 i have heard that running a bike lean will cause v-force to crack. i have been running mine for 2 years and i got them used, so they are about 3 years old. where are you buying pistons for 125 bucks, damn thats a lot for a piston. i buy wiseco not garbage pro-x or junky vitos wiseco prolites son thats all i buy i pay 75 bucks at the most for wiseco's. where do you buy them from. i get em @ my local shop a wiseco top end kit is usually 300 bucks with a bore-hone job but that is everything piston, rings, piston clips, wrist pin, wrist pin bearing, base gasket, and head gasket. all the gaskets r cometic so they r a lil more when i bought the piston i told them to order a half of a kit 1 piston 2 rings 2 clips 1 wrist pin 1 wrist pin bearing 1 base gasket and 1 head head gasket so that ran me 100 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Pro lites are more expensive then the standard wiseco piston. I've run wiseco pro lites and stock, OEM, Pro-x and now I have a set of Vito's. I like the Vito's piston...bit expensive but it's the only ones I haven't tried. As for reeds, I don't see how they could get a better flowing reed then V-force to fit inside the stock intake. The dude's numbers just don't add up. I've never heard of G3 reeds. So I don't know a thing about them...but I can attest to the durability of the V-rforce reeds...they are pretty damn strong. mine are over two years old and show no signs of wear. I imagine if they ran a longer reed cage with bigger pedals, but then you'll need bigger spacers to take advantage of them. I can't fit spacers bigger then what I've got in there now without extensive mods to the intake system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 http://www.1dirracing.com/Banshee.htm Numbers don't lie, but since when does the rad valve outperform V-force? Something isn't right with these benchmarked figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
