    The YZF750 is tired, after a few years of track use compression is well below spec. JE / Weisco no longer make anything for this bike, so Im looking to the board for help. Anyone have any pistons / rings?

    I'm pulling the engine and plan on tearing it down so I'm also looking for cams / rods / crank if anyone some race parts on the shelf.

    My buddy keeps telling me to use the money and get a newer bike, but thats lame.

    Thanks!

    JE will make custom pistons. The form is on thier site. I'd go that route but I'm too broke.

    YZF750

    Motogpworks,
    Are they OW01 or YZF750 Pistons? I'd love to see some pics your your superbike, I'm a huge OW01 fan!

    KJ, already looking to see what Bill Brown has but so far a "no go" on pistons.

    If nothing pops up I may have to go with a 1000cc mill, as I can only imagine what JE would charge for a new set of pistons.

    Found that Yamaha offers a +.050 piston for the YZF750. Has anyone ever used OEM oversized pistons and how they would rate them compared to a JE or Wiseco.

    Thanks for the input from the board. Motogpworks, thank you for the offer.

    I found a new 856cc kit and am going to go down that road. Anyone ever used one of these kits B4??

    JE is not really bad on the price but custom pistons i think they have a minimum of 8 at a time so you would have to get 2 sets. what they told me one time anyway
