I will use a rubber hammer to try to get it off.  I hope I can get by with just a top end. I will keep you posted and your help is greatly appriciated.

Brake cleaner will eat the rubber seals. Use carb/choke cleaner.

If the piston is scratched the cylinder is likely scored too. Either way it has to come off. Rubber hammer will do the trick. If it's real stubborn you can use a block of wood and some careful, gentle, taps with a hammer working your way around the cylinder. Never pry.

You seem to want to go the OEM route  :-\. If it were me, I'd go ahead and get a BBK  ;). But if you must go OEM, buy the cylinder from zombie and order a piston and gasket set from http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/

Good luck  :)

Holy sh@@! The ring set is $35. The damn piston is only $30!

Go for a big bore kit. Really won't cost that much more

The Polini Piston alone is 90 bucks, the ring set is 45.

You could get a Malossi sport for about 200.  Then add the pipe/carb/jets/air filter to make it work right. Not trying to talk you down... Just being realistic. I have close to 4g's in mine today, and the parts are still arriving.

So you would either go polini or malossi for the bbk on the ZX zombie? The cheap ones on eBay are no good huh?

I have a Polini Corsa. I had the Malossi sport, and Ruima 50mm. The Ruima is dog crap, the Malossi Sport is a very good long lasting kit, the Malossi MHR is their top offering, and the Polini Evo has to be adapted to fit. (it's made for the S9 but can be fitted.)
In MY opinion the Polini is the best kit for the money. They are strong, and FAST. They also need less work to prep for install than Malossi.

If you are looking to get one check out Racing Planet, and Scooter Parts International. I have accounts, and can get them for you Much cheaper.

Definitely want one, just as soon as I have the money. I need some jobs! Nature of my work. December and early summer are always slow for us. But when it rains it pours.  :)

Certainly won't hurt to start shopping around though

Shopping is half the fun for me. Same with passing along the deals. I do the same with my Marine customers. I charge them what I pay, and have more work than I can handle. Lot's of pissed off "used to be" mechanics around here. I tell them all the same thing... "Stop raping your customers, and you might have some work!"

I take great satisfaction when a customer shakes my hand and says "you guys did a great job". Every once in a while I do get an a-hole though. Funny how people's attitude changes from when I first get there and they see a 24 year old kid and think "oh sh**" to by the time I leave and they're extremely satisfied and saying "Really glad you guys came and installed my lift. You want a beer?"

Saw a sign similar to this installing a lift at a customer's shop. Thought it was great.
