05 Piston selection

[doolaris]

So I have a 05 151 special edition and I stuck a bore scope down to the pistons and noticed a lot of scratches and no wash. So, being a 900 and I don't want my pistons to be eaten up, I'm going to buy some new pistons.

Any reccomendations? I hear that the 06 piston is the best but idk if I should buy one for my 05???

Answers please!

06 pistons are the best pistons you can put in a 900... there is nothing better. Be sure you replace both and do it soon... 05 pistons are known for failure.

Alright I will do that, Is there any smokin' deals on pistons that you know about? I found a kit that comes with both pistons, rings, clips, and bearings for 210$ ( I just went to a website that has the manafacturer search/part engine thing for the 06 900).
