I have an 09 XP 800 154. It has 3600kms on it. Should I rebuild the top end? I know on the 06 and older sleds the pin that holds the rings from turning would push in after about 4000 plus km. Did they fix this or is it still a comcern?

i just did mine. pistons and crank. around 4000 on it.

way cheaper to do before than after, i find!!

lots of guys i talk to say more than 4500 is really pushing it. about the same time to do a chain.

put a new chain on last yr and 1/2 way through the season checked it and lots of broken links so i went to a 15 wide setup.

Ok so any opinions on piston choice. I was thinking of trying the SPI?
