Should I get OEM or aftermarket for timing chain, chain guides, Piston and rings
Permalink  
 


Before I put my 1995 TTR250 Open Enduro on the road I am going to replace the following parts:

Timing Chain =  945-91431-22-00

chain guide (exhaust side) = 4GY-12251-00-00

chain guide (intake side) =  4GY-12252-00-00

Piston (Standard) =  4GY-11631-00-C0

Piston Rings (Standard) = 4GY-11603-00-00

Piston Pin = 30X-11633-03-00

 

Should I buy original Yamaha parts or are aftermarket good these days? For example this timing chain here: https://www.mxstore.com.au/p/A1-Yamaha-TTR250-94-12-122-Link-Cam-Chain/40-82R2010-122?srsltid=AfmBOoqD0zQiOyQAe4HP7W34LSBG__yiRb-pWzi5Z3XSQ3MV0ps9trX8

I'm staying away from eBay and I might get a forged piston instead of cast piston can someone please tell me a good quality forged piston brand, thank you Shaun.

I would be wary of aftermarket engine internal parts like cam chain and guides, having had bad experiences of ill fitting and poor quality, so for those I would definitely go OEM.
For the piston, OEM is fine, but Wiseco and Wossner are both good quality makes that I have used in the past.

Thank you mossproof do you know if new OEM parts from a 2000 TTR250 are compatible with a 1995 TTR250, I have found this Yamaha parts dealer https://yamaha-motor.com/motorcycle/TT-R250/2000 but they dont have any parts for a 1995 they only have parts for a 2000 and onwards
