midnighttoker Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 have any of you tried or heard anything about namura pistons? the guy on ebay says they are power pistons and will increase performance over a stock or Wiseco piston. the picture looks like they have a bunch of holes milled out of the side to reduce the weight or heat retention or something. any body know why they are considered "power" pistons?

TheNewGuy Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 my advice, when im shopping for ANY type of things, i like to get the stuff where the name has been proven...i'd much rather have reliability for 10 years with decent power than be up at 90hp for only 2 minutes...if you're debating the brand, i'd pass it up and go with a brand that's been around and everyone knows about... and no i've never heard of those kinda pistons Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 http://race.atvaddiction.com/forums/showth...p?threadid=1200 a thread on another forum about them i guess they didnt have much good to say ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Sounds like the port windows in the skirts are altered similar to Vito's power pistons which might get more power but make a weaker piston skirt and potential catastrophic failures which could wreck the bottom end as well.

boonman Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Wiseco. Forged pistons are the only way to go. Just let the bike warm up a little before every ride, and you will not have a problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
