Since my bike is all in pieces, I thought it'd be a good idea to replace the piston with Wiseco Pro Light Kit and bearing.
bike is a 05 200, oem piston, cylinder looks good, not much changes since 6 months ago, not much carbon build up on top of the piston more like a bit of oil.
I remember reading somewhere that there was different size piston.
How do you know what size you need?
thx

So what about the hard to find lettering on the cylinder A, B or whatever I remember. Did I just dream that or sumthin?

If you're still lookin' for the cylinder letter you'll find it at the front of the cylinder near the top on, I think on a horizontal surface. The "B"s are the most common I heard . . .

You're mixing a couple of differnt apples..if not some oranges, too.
..there's a joke in there somewheres.......I'm on a
roll today!!!
Wiseco doesn't group their pistons according to manufacturing tolerance differences like Pro-X does.
In the stock bore, there is
one size from Wiseco.
From Pro-X, there are the alpha-designations from A-G, those numbers are stamped on both the head and the cylinder. The difference between one alpha and the next is 'about' 1/2 a thousandth.
Notice that is FAR from the Wiseco differences noted above. You're not going to be picking and choosing between
oversize Wiseco's in a given bore size, thus the bore/sleeve/plate idea.
Here's a cylinder alpha stamp:
