Now I know I'm a worry wort, but what do you guys reckon:
1st the new pistons we have have a few diferancs, the port holes are much smaller and the old piston has a indentation above the gudgen hole?
does this many any thing?

2nd ok a few more pics of the damage on both pistons, what is your lots opion as to what went wrong?

What went wrong is R let you ride it.

Nothing went wrong , its part of the life cycle of the two stroke.
Use - Rebuild - use - rebuild - Use - Rebuild - use - rebuild

unlike the four stroke life cycle

Use- keep using - get bored - trade it in

Whats the green stuff on the pistons on the last two photos? Is it antifreeze? What type are you using?

What condition are the barrels in D?

Get a dremmel out & match the ports shape and size

a couple of wee marks not bad tho, however aparently well worn.
I heard from the privious owner, he said that TonyB's thoughts were correct... they are RZ pistons.

Now I have been waiting for that

For fark sake gingernut, Get it bored to the next piston size, new gaskets and RD pistons put it back togeather and let Rashika ride the thing if you keep you ass off of the thing all will be good!

Im with Stanko it looks like any two stroke thats been thrashed. Please D tell the gathering masses who was riding the bike just before R went out for its last jaunt? This might shed some light on its demise.

And the new pistons look like Pro X pistons

You want to run something and I can not remember it's name to stop electrolyse.
If you go to a dirt bike shop you should be able to get something that is OK to be used on the track.
