Post by: KickinDirt on June 07, 2014, 02:58:25 PM

Any one know where I can find an over size stock piston for a 1986 Kx500 single ring piston?

Other then watching eBay no.
However you can use the newer two ring piston.
If you do, you should have your head re-cut and while your at it, have a compression relief installed.... You will thank me  8-)
