Wiseco pistons to replace standard pistons

[Bozo]

JMR, I didn't explain myself properly with the rings, so not your fault.

Just curious - On the topic of the megacycle cams, do you know if they re-weld and re-gring pitted cams?.

I will call Barbara Monday and see if they can do a "touch up". I have sent many Honda CB cams to them to be hardwelded and some of the lobes have been wasted..... no problem. They can also repair damaged journals. I have also sent them some pretty wiped out Suzuki and CB rocker arms....they come back mint.

JMR, any help I can get would be appreciated (with the cams), I have another member (WestOzXJR) who offered to contact webcam also on my behalf but please don't let that stop you. I tried phoning them but the hours are weird compared to Western Australia and I always seem to get the answering service.
I like the cams a lot and have a similar build camshaft (unknown speedway brand) in my Z1R and it has been fantastic (no pitting or even a scratch) for 70,000kms now. That is why I thought the webcams would do the same for the FJ1200.
If I can't get this fixed I'll put my standard cams back in but it would be a backward step for me.
Please let me know how you go with my enquiry. If you are ever in Oz I'll extend my hospitality to you in return.

Just one more question re:pistons, would the 1219 kit cause the sleeve wall thickness to be too thin on the fj1200?? (Oz summers can be hot) or is the difference negligible between it and standard??. Just as I ordered the 1219 kit one of the suppliers mentioned it might mean the wall thickness might be thin creating problems in the heat, he suggested the 1202 - ANY FEEDBACK please

I've never heard that suggested, even by the machine shop that did my re-bore. My personal view is it's bullshit, there's plenty of meat there and I never noticed any difference in mine, even in 44 deg. heat.

Believe it or not it was suggested by one  of the ebay sellers, so I needed to make sure, as I stated I did end up buying the 1219 because as far as I'm concerned 1mm dia extra is not a huge overbore. Thanks for your input

Baldy, that bike you described is something I'd like to see, was that originally an FJ1100 bore? because my cylinder has 1188 on the standard cylinder. I did eventually order the 1219 kit.
Unfortunately my Megacycle cams have started pitting so my cams will be standard after this rebuild.

Bozo
It was a 95 model (only 40 of them imported to Australia, were only meant to go to Europe) so no it was already 1188cc he didn't change the bore he left it standard, I also forgot to mention it has a Barnett clutch with double springs, It also has done 160thousand K's and as our esteemed XRay and Klav can say with a fair amount of conviction its faster then a speeding bullet and twice as deadly!

Baldy, is this bike going to be at the Bellingen Rally, come to think of it will you be there?, I'd like to talk more about his bike.

SORRY SORRY MY STUFF UP, my previous cams were WEBCAMS. The cams I should be referring to are MEGA CYCLE, don't ask I was so peeved when I took them out I wasn't thinking straight - MY sincere apologises.
Sorry to all who offered to help me out of this predicament, I would still need help contacting Mega- cycle please.

Please no taking the piss out of me I feel bad enough for this mistake already. I have made an apology in a new message to all who read my previous message.
