    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Busted piston skirts, New pistons?

Currently in a rebuild of my 82 650GLZ. Found the 4th piston's skirts (both front and back) are broken off. Cylinder walls are good, still need to check the crankcase for any damage but looks alright.

My issue is replacing this piston. I'd like to replace them with a high compression set but not sure where or how to find this. I've been trying all the sites that I've been relying on but I'm not sure how to find this. Any ideas? Thanks.
 
Pretty sure there is no such things as high compression 650 pistons.
 
Sure!
Shave the cylinder and cut bigger valve pockets into the stock pistons.
Use silly putty on the valve pockets to make sure you aren't contacting valves with the pistons before you start it. ( by hand and not with the starter motor)
;)
