soto man you're being dissed

a number of years ago there was a post on the kawi triples board. Somebody had repaired a piston with jbweld and copper wire (and not in a neat fashon either). Just like the bolt in the piston it detonated when hot.

I am simply amazed the length people go through to get a running bike on the road. Honestly, that size bolt probably cost as much as a used piston would at a salvage yard.

I prefer to believe that the kid wanted to ride so bad that he wasn't even gonna wait for his old man to get off work to fix it. See there's hope for the world in that scenerio....

i agree with ratty. i wouldn't have even thought of that as a kid. i wonder if any of my illegitimate children are taking engines apart yet....

Hey, don't knock a JB Weld piston fix - I got stuck in Glamis with a hole burnt thru my piston, and that got me back to my truck, several miles away over lots of gnarly desert.

There was zero chance of me pushing my bike back through that stuff, and zero chance of getting a truck into the area my bike was at.

It sure didn't want to idle, but I made it back. Since I didn't have a file handy, I had to grind the top of the piston down on a rock to get the melted crap off. I had to wait until it got toward evening for the air temp to be cool enough not to burn it up again. I am SO glad I had a headlight on that bike.

ive heard of it before on 2 strokes also.

defnitely doable. but not advisable.
