if there is no stamp on it mate then its 40mm and std,so go for a 40.5 mm piston kit and get it rebored to suit the new piston.

ok thanks for the info so if order a 40mm that should be ok or will it have to be a bit bigger as there is grazeing on the old piston down the one side thanks

you need to loomon top of the piston thats in it and it will have a oversize stamp on it if its not standard,for instance a barrel that has been ebored to 0.50 mm will have the .50 mark stamped on the top of the piston.i think the standard size for a yamaha is 40mm but ill check and let you know,the correct place to measure a piston is at the bottom of it and from the back to the front as a piston is in fact oval and not completley round and aslo a piston is tapered its bigger at the bottom that it is a the top i know as i can operate a boring bar and have done thousands of rebores over the years.

Well it will need a new piston and rings probably. you will more than likely need a rebore as well. It's not a terrible job if you take your time. The only thing to do is strip top end and see what state your piston and barrel are in.

You need to check for spark and fuel as a first point of call.
Spark. Take plug out and pop in HT cap. Put end of plug on metal frame and start as normal. this will earth it and should spark! Just replace plug then you know it is ok but still check for spark.
Fuel. Pop a bit of fuel down bore hole when plug is out. pop plug back in and start as normal. Does i fire for a few secs?
