Not only that, the parts he showed were Wayanlam's aftermarket oversize pistons of suspect quality.

They claim to be "good enough that the OEM Kawasaki is endorsing them as an original part" but they don't FIT as an original part and appear to be cast instead of forged. His mechanic tried everything and he actually LOST power (2HP). I believe that it's the same "Kawasaki" factory that's making the fatter rear rim.
