Piston question

Post by litninrod »

I'm working on a 1989 Honda Elite LX.
The engine is stamped AF05E - is that an sa50?

I need to replace the piston and I want to make sure I get it right. The calipers say it 41mm, but all the pistons I'm finding so far for that size are NQ50, SB50, and NT50.

Will any or all of those be the same piston as for the SA50?
