grenade 220 pistons

Post by kdxquebec »

A guy in my enduro club blown is 220 2003 stock piston skirt. The bike have 300miles. He went at the kawi dealer and they(dealer) will pay for a new cylinder,piston,rings,and gaskets. But he(the guy) must pay for bearings and labour. Of course,he will put a wicesco in.... sounds right?

How many owners in this group had blown their stock 220 pistons?

Does your dealer paid for this?

I'm glad a changed mine out too. It was my first mod. on the bike. Seams kinda silly to have to take a brand new piston out for fear of it imploding. This just confirms it though. I don't understand why they are making this guy pay or the labor. We all know this is a potential problem for these bikes.

The dealer is probably scamming him; collecting from Ma Kaw and the customer. Not unheard of.
