fun_on_the_sand Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hey guys, I am looking to change the pistons on my shee, keeping the standard size. I have on mind, PROLITE from Wiseco, and I also found pistons from TRINITY that are supposed to be lighter than PROLITE. Anyone had any experience with these from TRINITY? Any other supported sugestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 i would wait until a rebuild to put new pistons in. you arent gonna gain much just by putting new pistons in anyway. besides you may need a bore and hone job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richybanshee Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I did ... wiseco's make your shee sound like a TRUCK, besides that, I could not feel the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 If the bike isn't due for a rebuild you can gain more pwr for the money elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNBRAD Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Trinity superlites are the strongest and lightest pistons out there that I know of. I personally wouldn't use them unless I had a drag banshee I was squeezing every last bit of power out of it. The rings will require more attention and bore wear will be increased.

fun_on_the_sand Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thank you guys, I think I'll stay with the stock ones since they are more reliable and no power is gained by changing to lighter pistons. You guys just saved me a bunch of mony that I will spend on V-force reeds rather than pistons. Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighty Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Isnt the engine supposed to rev faster with lighter pistons? Just like a lightend flywheel effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
