Pistons

Does carbon or anything else build up on the piston? If so I will probaly get a high compression piston, (actually I probaly am anywayz) but will I notice better torque and a little bit more power? What type of piston works best? thanx in advance

Go with a ross standard bore 10.5-1 piston. Cost you about $125 and you can still run pump gas. Will really be able to feel the difference even if you keep the stock cam. And you dont have to deal with boring, maybe just a honing if you have a lot of hours on your bike.

how is ross much betta than wisecos 100$ piston? and will i feel the power because its lighter or what?

I used wisco pistons on all my 2-stroke bikes and never had a problem, but i have also installed a ROSS 11-1 piston in my buddies 400ex and it worked fine. I would just go with witch ever one you can get the cheapest

You will feel the difference because of the compression, and the bike will rev a little quicker due to a ligter weight piston.

I have had good luck with my ross piston and so has my friend. I especially like beating raptors!
