Because I am a mechanic and I know what happens when people try to save money on pistons. They spend it on re-plating cylinders and fishing bits of broken pistons out of bottom ends! 😂

60 hours is pretty short intervals though.

Just out of interest...

Do you have a photo of the piston after 60 hours?

Cheers, Dave.

No valves in my bike to bounce matey! I do like to commit to obstacles though!

Yeah but I am ok with it. I like a nice fresh motor as well.

Wow, you have a lot more blow-by than my XC250 did after 90 hours on the piston. I had minimal between the rings and nothing below the bottom ring.

I am going to shorten my intervals to around 75 hours as the piston skirt was more worn than I would like.
