Was coupling some parts together today to build a engine for my old XT.
Now this bike is nothing special and i was just using what was laying around.I had a good barrel and piston from a SR and was going to couple this onto the XT bottom end.
All was well until i went to put the piston on the rod and found that the gudgen pin was to short for the piston?
On closer inspection i saw that the SR piston is much wider across the gudgen boss compared to the recessed XT one.
Dont know if its common knowledge or not but live and learn i guess.Anyway found a half decent xt piston and threw it all together.
Will put the engine back in the bike in the next few days and give it a run,hopefully will give me a good offroader for the forest trails over winter.
COOL..
