Re: Piston
That looks like the stock piston.
Did the previous owner mention head work? Does a stock head look that good??

Re: Piston
Did you clean the piston top while it was still attached? Sounds risky.
Measuring the piston diameter before ordering another piston would have been a good thing, just in case.
Which 10w-40 did you use?
I am a big fan of putting motorcycle oil in motorcycles.

Re: Piston
If gearbox oil has friction modifiers, this may cause clutch slippage. Many on this forum use ordinary Type F ATF with good results.

Re: Piston
That should be fine, it's rated for wet clutch. I would check your clutch spring free length and the disc thicknesses.

Look, a factory Kawasaki grenade!
Yep, that should have worked just fine. Like was mentioned, measure everything to see if all is in spec.bufftester wrote: ↑04:38 pm Jul 01 2019 That should be fine, it's rated for wet clutch. I would check your clutch spring free length and the disc thicknesses.
