What good was the recall where they replaced the pistons and head, and looks like new cylinders. What was the difference in the recall parts vs. the old parts. I would rather be safe than sorry. So all these failures I am reading about is after recall was performed? I am sure that this topic has been beat to death, I am just making sure before I order parts. Thanks
09 rmk with 690 miles on it recall for piston done. still do the spacer fix

fix kit
I decided to pull the head and cylinder off and inspect. pistons look found a small crack in rear of mag cylinder. Its at the back middle. about 1 inch long. so it looks like i will be doing fix kit and new cylinder. good think I got this sled for a steal.

Are your pistons single ring or dual ring?
Single ring's were original for 08-09 with a higher comp head.
Mine cracked a skirt with 322 miles with the 2010 update.

The recall wasen't any good... In fact they went backwards. The Fix kit was the best option and even that really needs a replate of the cyl. if you want to do it right.
The fix kits are not the best option. Contact RK-Tek and get his replacement Pistons. And get the cylinders done by Indy Dan as well.
