Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this piston kit fits my engine?
Verify your engine's model (e.g., E40X, 40XMH) and year (1998–2002) against the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table. Cross-referencing your existing part number with those listed in the "Part Number Matrix" is the best way to ensure an exact match.
What are the signs of a worn or failing piston?
Common symptoms include a loss of compression, reduced engine power, excessive blue or white smoke from the exhaust, an audible knocking or rattling sound from the engine, and metal shavings found in the engine oil.
What is the difference between part numbers 66T-11630-00, 66T-11631-01, and 66T-11631-00?
These part numbers are considered interchangeable for the specified Yamaha models. The different numbers typically represent minor manufacturing revisions or updates over time, but they share the same critical dimensions and specifications for fit and function.
Is this kit for one or both cylinders?
This kit contains the components to service one cylinder. If you are rebuilding both cylinders of your twin-cylinder engine, you will need to purchase two kits.
What is the standard bore size for this piston?
This is a standard-size piston designed for a cylinder bore of 80.0 mm. It is not an oversized piston for bored-out cylinders.
Do I need to check ring end gap?
Yes, it is highly recommended to check the piston ring end gap with a feeler gauge before installation, as per your engine's service manual. This ensures proper sealing and performance.
