This is for my road race bike.
The time has come (I don't know how I made it this long without replacing em) to replace the piston/rings on my crf.
Here are my requirements:
Semi-reliable
Pump gas
That's about it.
Right now, it has an OEM piston in it. Not sure if it is the 02/03 with 11:1 compression or the 04+ 12:1 compression, but I know its oem.
My first thoughts were to just get the 04 and keep it reliable and how it is, which is great. But Smutty started talking about 13:1 kawi pistons with bigger valve reliefs, and it seems everyone and there mother are running at least 12.5:1 without problems, and I'm at a loss. Especially since just about everything I see has to do with riding dirt.
I know there's a ton of CRF knowledge on here (cough* Smutty, Chip, and Adam cough*), what are you thoughts?
Other motor work includes hot cams stage 2 cam, aftermarket crank (not sure what kind) and a port and polish.
