dirt cheap pistons

[jqmce]

Not sure if i would be willing to try these as they are dirt cheap, but the company is in Japan...Might mean nothing.

Has anyone tried a set?

There has been a lot of discussion regarding those. The bottom line is they are cheapass Chinese stuff (sure the eBay account is in Japan). I bought a set for my 250 and they actually looked to be well made (never ended up using them but sold the rings to a board member who is running them now). A guy in England ran them in a race bike and they did very well although eventually he did have a failure, but apparently that was after many laps at redline.

The 400 pistons have a slightly higher pin location (I think) and the compression is down a wee bit. For a bike that isn't going to flogged like crazy, they might be just fine...for me, if I could get better quality that's what I would do.
