250-500cc Finally need a top end for 300-where to buy?

Riding today I opened up my 300 past 3rd gear and it was sputtering with just nothing there. I was like ok what the hell. Something going on with jetting all of a sudden? Down low from 1st to 3 rd gear its totally fine still though. Got home and did compression check. It maxed out to 30- lol. Yes 30. Its the original piston from stock and odo says 7659 so...

So...wheres a good complete kit to buy? I have seen some people buy off ebay and complain that not everything they needed was there. so....

I just ordered all my top end parts from Halls cycle in illinois. They had everything I needed in stock for a 250WR. And it was OEM

halls.

Hell, check your local shop. Mine keeps top end rebuild kits in stock, has everything I needed, and surprisingly well priced (can't order it cheaper online).

here you go

Nice! Thanks!

With almost 8000 miles (300-400 hours?) on the original parts, and what sounds like a failure in a short time period, I'd tear it down before I ordered anything. You might need more than a piston and rings.

No kidding. I rebuilt mine at about 110 hours and everything felt fine. Heck the cylinder still had all the honing marks on it and the piston looked fine. I was tempted to just put new rings in. Got it all back together and the kick was a lot harder, and all that power that I didn't realize I was missing.

you know its funny my friend with a ktm300 couldn't believe i went that far on original piston. Actually i think few believe me that i got that far on my stock piston. But theres a cr250 motor from the mid 90's at my dealer that has approximately 22,000 miles sign on it. These bikes are amazing

Since you're in North Bend call Jeff at Taskys in Everett. He'll set you up with a complete top end kit that includes a vertex b piston, rings, clips, and pin; an oem pin bearing that fits the vertex pin perfectly, oem base gasket, and oem o-rings for the head. My guess is about $200 to $250 for everything. That's what I went with when I replaced my top end at about 120 hrs last summer. So far so good. Get your cylinder cleaned of any carbon while you're at it. Hopefully it doesn't need replating.

Funny you say as I was kicking it over thinking. Wow who needs push button start-lol
