The Flyin Hawaiian:
Same thing happened to my 500 with the previous owner. In his case, he just rode it into the ground. He wasnt much for maintenance. The piston shattered and a piece cracked the cases. A little over 2 grand later and he was back in service. The only thing that was original was the trans and clutch assy. He later seized it topped out on a dirt road. Luckily, the cylinder cleaned right up with some muratic acid. Im thinking about running a Wiseco after seeing those pics!

stewart:
 only  ... wiseco...

holeshot buddy:
