lsampson:
I'm going to start a new post..

motopunk:
you can also use wössner,  prox or vertex pistons ...  you should take contact to one of the sellers. not all, that they offering is to find on theyre websites...

you could also give a call to an kawasaki dealer.. for an oem c piston... 

lsampson:
I contacted my dealer, and they can only get the same B piston. Same part number.

Motorrad:
I wasnt done typing.   read it again

Motorrad:
if you take that measurement.  and assume you didnt factor in the measurement for the stock piston wall clearance.      you should be pretty darn close. to spec..  off memory.     Ill have to go look up what wiseco wants again. but I recall it being .004"  (I dont work in metric.  youll have to deal with it.)

so.  math time.

85.94mm - 85.84mm = .1mm   conv to in  is .0039".......      
lets assume your stock setup had a .0015" clearance.

so    


plus the .0015" (theoretical)


.0054"














But this is a HORRIBLE way to check piston wall clearnace.  and very inaccurate. as lots of assumptions.   and you know what happens when you assume..................


even checking the piston wall with a feeler gauge is more accurate than the way your trying to do it.
