    Your knobbies must be made of titanium, dude! :)

    I get 5 or so 50 - 100 km rides out of a Pirelli MX Extra rear.
    If tyres arent wearing they aren't gripping.

    I decided to rebuild my 511's top-half of the engine (valves, piston, timing chain) after 15 000 km (9 320 miles). Not going to touch lower-half (crankshaft bearings, piston rod) for now.

    6200km on my 2011 TE449. I would say about 80% has been on road.. probably more. I bought the bike off a guy who had it new and it was at 3000km, he had taken it offroad once. This was evident from the brand new appearance the bike had.. no scratches on frame guards or anything. It was mint. I put the power up plug in and have since added another 3000 of my own km. I would say about 500 of these kms have been some light trail riding and just been out bush exploring. Found a couple of mx tracks to take her on as well. I mostly use it as my daily to and from work, heading out to the tracks on weekends.

    The bike never flames out, doesn't overheat, starts first go hot or cold and will loft the front wheel in 4th gear with ease. I must say I'm pretty confident I will be enjoying many more thousand km's with this wonderful machine.

    Planning on getting a set of SM wheels / brakes for it

    With 14,000 on your engine, I think it would be safe to assume that your bore will be worn outside of standard measurements.
    The different sized pistons were to allow for very slight differences in original machining at the factory.
    I believe you should be able to use the latest of the pistons in your list on account of the wear of usage.
    Carry out measurements prior to assembly to be sure.
