Satsol67 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Has anyone tried Platinum Pistons made by WSM? They are cheaper then wiseco but are they as good? btw I am looking for a set of stock ones if anyone has some that they dont need. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 If they're cheaper it's probably for a reason.... When it comes to pistons, pro-lites are really, really hard to beat for price and durability.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroburner13 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 i worked as a jet ski mechanic at a rental shop here. we would rebuild our 1100 triples with the wsm pistons. as soon as you have ANY kind of lean condition,air leak, or overheating situation you can kiss that top end goodbye. those pistons are junk. i personally put prolites in my 1100 engine and have it set up just like the rental machines. not only has the top end not gone down but it has been overheated due to a blocked cooling line and it still runs strong. also i put prolites in my alcohol banshee over a year ago and it still shows 140 pounds in each cylinder and i run the crap out of that bike. the whole point of my rambling is to say GO WITH THE PROLITES!!!!! they are well worth the little extra money. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
