Yoshi pistons
« on: April 13, 2023, 01:09:12 PM »
Just a question anyone fitted a set and did it make much difference ? Are the yoshi  pistons better than Oem ? Not sure about the cam as just after a bit more torque

If you are after some and not committed I have a set of unused Cruzin Image 460cc with gasket..... Good quality pistons that many on here use.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

The cam needs different ign timing and gearing to get the best as there is more power higher up but you loose at the bottom, at least thats what i found in the 70's.
Pistons usually raise the compression

Yoshi 460cc pistons increase mid range torque/power, the yoshi cams put power back up the rev range, I run the 460 pistons with the 1/2 race cam.
nice bike,nothing in the bank
