Just out of interest which make of piston is best? |
You can get a cheaper piston from Wiseco, and they are good pistons: By cross referencing with other models (for the 200cc GasGas, the Polaris 600cc triple cylinder snowmobile piston is an example), you can save some money over GasGas specific Wiseco piston kits.
However, my preference in pistons are those made by Wossner (Germany), who furnished the OEM pistons from 2004 through at least 2007. Wossner also makes the same piston sold by Athena, except that they have a non-stick coating on the outside of the piston. The same rings fit both Wossner and Athena pistons.

Athena USA was bringing them into the US.
I spoke to a fellow last year, and bought some piston kits from him.
