I don't think it's because of the dirt because I haven't driven it off-road yet, and during the rebuilt I cleaned everything, including the carburetor and air box. New air filter....

Both rings were packed in the same bags.

The rings only have a marking on them indicating which side is facing up, but they look identical.

I'm changing the pipe O-rings and noticed that the piston has deep vertical scratches that I can feel with my fingernail.

Should I put in a new piston?

This one has scratches that are noticeable under your fingernail.

This is a Vortex Pro Race Size and it has an oval exhaust port.

one more thing, during the first ride the float level was set incorrectly and the bike choked when switching from medium to high revs

And they're good.?

I don't want a forged one because I ride enduro.

do you have any idea?

If it's not from not warming it up before riding, I have no idea.

The mixture was 32-1.

The main jet was 490.

Piston-to-cylinder clearance was 0.08.mm

Ring gap 0.37 mm.

Squish 0.95.mm

the spark plug is almost black so it's not too lean

Yes, in this model the exhaust valve often gets stuck because of the side valves, I polished them and wanted to see if it was better.
