there's a chance you could use the old piston yes....although I don't recommend it, and would rather not see you go that route.
Will definitely need a pic of it to see if it's cast or forged.
I'd at the least try to get a set of rings for it too, along with small end bearing and pin, if you end up going that route...that will help keep things "tighter", and help prevent/reduce piston slap.
ecdeyzel:
Ok cool. As soon as I can I will show you photos of the piston. I would like to replace it to have that bit of peace of mind. Thanks Fox.

that's my point...no sense putting all this time into it, to have an unfortunate failure. :wink:

Hey Foxx. It's been a while. Had a really rough past couple of months with moving. The KX project is pretty much on hold. After searching my butt off to find where I've put my piston, and after panicing etc, I finally found it in the most obvious place. 'doh.
Here are some pics. Is it safe to say it is a forged piston?
Hope you're doing well.
Ed

that looks like a stock Kawie cast piston...not forged.
I've been do'in good, thanks for asking....been very busy with work...through the month of May I was doing 5 11 hour days a week, money was nice, but doesn't leave much time for any fun activities after work. I'm now back on 4 11 hour days, so I get Fri, Sat, Sun off 8-).
Good to hear from ya!...hopefully you can get back to work on the bike soon. :-)
