Next question. What is the piston weight on a 748R piston?
The reason for the question is that Kämna in Germany has 854 kits on sale.

And this are the pistons I think.

It says 425 grams. They say that it does not need balancing but I just want to double check.

I think they will vary some, we have a set here that are 419gms. I don't mind running pistons a little lighter and you should probably blueprint the engine anyway so can balance the crank then. We do a kit for $1300 with gaskets and cylinder exchange so thats not a bad deal. There is an "R" kit or a standard 748/854 kit (flat top).
