Looking for new or (good) used piston for 87 (first version) yamaha FZR1000. Standard or any oversize.
Was just about ready to refit the cylinder block, making sure the ring gaps were in the right place and...found a piece of ring land broken between the comp rings. Bugger shit!!! Judging by the wear pattern it's been broken for a while. I've had a look at the Wiseco catalog but they only list a complete set, of 4, probably a bargain at $US680 odd but my son doesn't have that sort of money available. Anyone know of any other sources of NOS pistons? Already tried Ebay.
