What up people. Just a quick little question. Just recently put a new piston in my 400ex. The thing is my old piston was shattered. I cleaned out all I could to the point where I couldnt find a piece of piston anywhere. Whats the odds it will lock up to a stray chunk...???

Thanks

Well, It after I purchased it used, i found that that its been previously worked on. The piston was pretty much held together by honda toughness and thats it. Rode it for about 12 hours and thats was it. How long should I go easy on the new piston before I open her up??
