Can’t put the pistons back from the bottom of the barrel. You have to insert them from the top, that means to disconnect the conrods from cranck shaft, a big can of worms.

It could be completely different with the 2.5s (I'd like to know for when I get to where you are), but on the 2.3s you can replace the pistons going in from underneath. You may have already explained why not on the new bikes, and I missed it (my bad).

I just finished a Neville Lush piston and cam rebuild in ""record time"" with no prior experience. I had allowed myself a full five days during the Christmas holidays for the install. Well, now, more than three months later, I’m finally in a position to say, "job completed!" and share this story...

I cant confirm this, but just looking at the bottom of a 2.5L R3, it looks like the bottom pan come off just like our older 2.3L RIII bikes.

I agree there is a way but it will be very difficult for me to do it at home. I don’t have many tools and infrastructure of a shop and buying more is problematic. The bike ate already a lot in terms of consumables and man hours.
