    I just purchased a 2004 CR125 w/ 144 kit

    Needs a top end, saw online it looks to be same as a YZ144 piston

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Can't confirm that the Yamaha piston will work. Why not get the piston/rings, etc from a good Husky dealer like Motoxotica or Halls?

    Pretty sure the dome is slightly different and would require modding the head to work correctly, I ran mine on YZ144 pistons but Walt (wallybean) set mine up so he would be the guy to ask.

    Thanks for the info, I once worked at a Honda / Yamaha shop and still get parts at almost cost. This is why im leaning towards yamaha pistons verse stock Husky parts

    I was at the local Husky shop this morning and they just rebuilt a WR150 with a 165 kit, and the piston box for that also said YZ125..

    Im gonna Mik the piston and see what i get for specs.

    The yz piston has a raised dome and will require head work to fit correctly.
