Hi Guys,

Right now I'm looking for a piston kit for a 1982 Yamaha MX80 (47.5). This is the bike. ( http://www.planetminis.com/album.php...pictureid=7047 )

I have found a Wiseco kit but they want 170 bucks for it. I was wondering if anybody knows of another piston company with a little more of an economical approach. Or what other bikes use the same pistion. ie yz80, gt80.

Thanks in advance.

Shane

They're all over the eBay.

Interchangeable:
* Yamaha MX80 (1980 - 1982)
* Yamaha GT1 (1973 - 1975)
* Yamaha TY80 (1974 - 1975)
* Yamaha YZ80 (1974 - 1975)

I doubt the 76-79 was different enough to matter, too.

ps---try these dudes first; they are my first stop for all parts/pistons...just be sure and ask him if it is a quality piston or not (some are and some are not).

No way...thats the first bike i ever owned.
Bought it with my paper route $$ i paid $90.00 for it.

it had a vise grip for the kick starter and then we had to put it on the shifter to ride it...LOL

Nice bike....thanks for the memories.
