billyt Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 You're joking right? (please say yes). I asked out of simple curiosity, not any feeling of impending doom. The manual says 80 hours, I've put 65 on mine in the last 4 months and am going to blow way past 80 by the end of the season. Heaven forbid I ask how many hours people are typically getting on pistons. Heffergm The part in the Beta manual about pistons is actual a translation typo. By 80 hours they actually meant 80 clean hours. Meaning 80 trials riding hours with no dabs. Are you at 80 hours riding with no dabs? If so stop typing and go change that piston ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Case in point ... My 83 240 pro is still on it's original piston , I changed the single Dykes type ring once ... I've got a custom made forged twin ring piston that's been sitting in my shop for about 5 years now , just waiting for the replate @ langcourts ... But if it ain't broke , don't fix it ....

dan williams Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 ...and THAT'S why I've never needed a piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
