Pistons & rings

After reading some of the old posts about the unavailability of pistons for the FZR400, I contacted Wiseco to find out what they would charge to do a custom run of pistons. The minimum custom order is 12pcs (or 3 sets of pistons). Here is the preliminary pricing that I was provided for several quantities:

12 pcs - $156.00 / piston ($624.00/set of 4)
24 pcs - $127.00 / piston ($508.00/set of 4)
50 pcs - $106.00 / piston ($424.00/set of 4)

The price include rings, wrist pin, cir-clips. Also at these prices, they can make two different size pistons. To do this job they'll need a stock piston to measure and a bunch of money. ;)

I don't need a new top end for my FZR, but wanted to pass this info on. If there's enough folks looking, perhaps someone with a dire need for a piston set could step up and coordinate a group buy. Here's the Wiseco contact info:

Posted this info in a couple of other FZR400 forums.

$624 for a set? Or $156 for a set? Just wanted to clarify. Because if it is the later, lets get some for the 600's...... :)

Yep, that's what I figured. One could always wish though :)

wiseco makes kits for the 600
you can find them on ebay

also, i was able to buy stock Yamaha pistons for the 600 for $48 each, $12 for the pin and like $35 for the ring kits
these were standard bore size
looked like 2nd and 3rd over sizes were available also
