I've tried to search an answer first. No luck. Do any of you have high recommendations for a quality and easily sourced piston to be used in a TS1 with a 62mm crank? Build specs to include SX 200 gearbox, Taffspeed Road Pipe, 35 TMX. I'm in California so Wiseco would be my best option but I've had 2 MB pistons and liked them.

Thanks in advance.

Ideally I'd like to approach 240 cc's. What do you recommend? As it sits I have a 62 mazz crank, I'll get the length of the rod and let you know. Obviously we can change the rod if need be.

i think what you might be best aiming for is the yz250 piston ,wossner do a pattern job and i think you will need 115 yam rod and are best going steel liner

thanks guys for the responses. I know guys are using a steel liner but what is the benifit over just boring and re nicasiling? wis this done because the walls are becoming too thin? I would prefer the benifit of nicasil so what is the largest cc capacity for a road going nicasil TS 1? I am starting with a roached cylinder,having it tuned then replated.

I found out that the Rod is a 107. This seems an odd choice for a 62 mm crank doesn't it? Anyone know what my options would be using this crank?
