If you examine the following yahoo Japan auction you can see the clutch cover has "Special" engraved in it.

Anyone know why?

Its because of the 'special' exposed piston with the 'special' serrated machined top Laughing

Its nothing thats come out the Yam factory.

The jap foreword (just visable) would suggest some Jap tuner has made his mark on the engine after giving it the 'works'

You can still buy the pistons new, usually at auto jumbles...

Why do some 3XV pistons have only 1 ring and others 2?

Have noticed while browsing.....
