Arias 12:1 Piston

baja226sport · Jan 18, 2006

OK, I recently bought a bunch of new aftermarket parts.....one being an arias 12:1 piston. My question is this....the guy i bought from had no rings. I called arias and they said they no longer make the piston for the warrior. They said call white bros. ; I called and they said they had no remaining stock for rings. the guy i bought from said yamaha rings would work as long as i got them for the bore (.030) Anyone using one of these.....can you help. i don't want to put something together that is gonna blow up.....

Well I know a lot of warriors have problems handling 12:1 thats pretty high; probably why they stopped making the piston. For the HP youd get from a 12:1 (not to much more then a 11:1) it really isnt worth it.

The rings on my arias are thicker than the stockers. Maybe not by much, but enough to make a diffrence. And i would check that piston out, last time i checked they didnt make a .30 over piston but i could be wrong.

Do you have the 12:1 piston. If so, does it prove to be hard on your stock starter?

I have it but its not in....yet . It prolly wont be too hard on the starter, theres been more radical motors made than that and ive never heard of any problems.
