piston for my ec 200 same all years?

[hannesd]

as the question said, can i fit a piston for an '04 ec 200 in my '01 ec 200?
i guess engine's haven't changed from '99 to about 2009, right?

thanks guys.
Hannes.

nobody knows about these ,apparently illusive, 200's?
i think i rmember all years pistons fit for the 300 and probably 250 allso then but for the 200?
i need to order upcoming monday...

thanks for any input here.

ciao, Hannes.

this auction on ebay states their piston kit fits from '98 thrue to '12...
don't know how reliable this is though...it's a seller

Wiseco states that their pistons fit from '99 thrue to '11 in the 200. seems allready more reliable,right?

nonetheless i'd like some confirmation from someone here

thanks.

The last topend I did on my 200 I had the cylinder measured by my local engine machine shop, based from that info ordered a completed topend kit from Go.Fasters, which was Wiseco. I have put 3 topend in my 200 and have always used Wiseco complete topend kits. The last time I had the topend apart I did rings only, through Go.Fasters.

As far as I know, the 200 motor has NOT CHANGED since 99 when it first came out.

Off the top of my head I am not sure if Wiseco offers a "A,B,C,D" sizes.

Hope this helps.

thanks for that,Rick

i'll go for wossner since it's easier to order and beter priced then others.
downside here at the "local" supplier is that they don't have a "B" piston on stock.
hope an "A" will still do the trick then.
don't know how long that piston has been in, for all i know it could be the very first one since it was made in 2001
i'm just replacing it for peace of mind since i plan on riding quite some what this year.

ciao, Hannes.
