Not sure.

I drop in a new piston, get the bike all nice and warm, and then ride the crap out of it. Seriously. :ride:

From what I've heard on heat cycles is high compression pistons take more advantage. It's a way breaking in the engine in cycles without the head loosing it's toughness, rather than becomming brittle.
