ZZR600 64mm stock piston complete is 168grams.
Ninja-250 62mm stock piston complete is 167grams.

I have load tables for all of these at various red lines for comparison.
If I can whittle 4grams out of the Wiseco pistons to get down to 182grams complete then at 12k/rpm it will have the same load factor as a stock 300 @ 13k/rpm. Mine is for use in a Versys-X 300 big bore so lower redline.

You can view the load table in this thread which is my other project https://www.pb-evo.com/topic/78963-z...ort-300-build/

Yes you can put the Wiseco piston on the stock rods, but I'd suggest a lower redline to avoid damage. It's the TDC inertia number you need to worry about, as that is piston weight on exhaust stroke trying to rip the rod in two.
Tank you very much.

I can't lower the rpm cause it's for my race bike and I will need to gear longer and defeat the purpose of the mod. it lives at 12-14k

I did the inertia calculation with the 250 piston to compare and it was already at 20% more at TDC.

it's crazy, I think I have a 09 67mm zx6r piston and it's at 165g with everything on it... (0107 stamped on the top of the piston).
