engine piston compatibility between year models

by Evan Westervelt
(Demorest, Georgia. USA)

i have a 2001 kawasaki ninja 250. and one of the pistons somehow got a hold blown through it. i believe it melted. (its a long story) but i found an add on ebay for a whole set with the pistons and the cylinders.

but it is off of a 2009 bike. (mine is a 2001) they look almost the same other than on my bike the little round dimples in the head of the piston to allow the valves to come in, mine have a small raised area in the middle of each dimple. (i couldnt attach a pic so i made a criagslist listing with pics on it(only thing i could think of)) but the ones on the 2009 model dont have the little raised area. any thoughts if this will work or not? it will save me aprox. $200 if i can get this part. thanks in advance!

Ask at a dealer service department
by: Wanda

I don't know the answer to your question. Have you thought of calling a Kawasaki dealership service department and asking them? Or you might just go over there and ask to speak to one of the technicians who actually services the bikes.
