Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
Bad experience with Wossner pistons...
CS18:
Finished up my 500AF a month and a half ago and absolutely love it. Unfortunately last time out, at 4.7 hours on the meter (I completely rebuilt the engine before sticking the engine in the AF), I suffered a loss of compression. Just tore the engine down and saw what happened. It seems the locating pin for the bottom ring came out and allowed the ring to turn round until it got to the exhaust port, at which point the ring caught in a big way wrecking piston and barrel. :cry:
I've had bad experience with a four stroke Wossner piston in the past, but decided to give them another go in the 2 smoker. Suffice to say never again...
Motorrad:
Not what I want to hear.. I was going to try them next.. After my wiseco machining flaws... I didn't want to run wiseco again... Hmmm
