"Blaine from the rgv forum recently bought some of the cheap rg500 pistons of ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors…1484bQQitemZ130439792715Q
this is his finding it isnt good news for anyone who bought them
The clearance for the small ends is bigger by approx 0.6mm. oem is 22.38mm these pistons are 23.04mm. Measurements are approx with my verniers.
One big minus is that the seating for the thrust washers is not machined and of course if you machine them then the clearances get bigger.....
So I'd not recommend them. Pictures below, I'll leave you to guess what's what.
