Piston was after 20 hours of riding the 2nd top end on the 09...

finished 20 hours of riding the 09 after blowing the motor last season I had it cleaned up, new pistons and decided to make sure it was all burning good today. I rode it on the lake today and the last bit I held onto it for 20-30 seconds and killed it with the throttle open on my way in and then swam it to the trailer and have not started it since... Seems a little lean.... but they look like the are burning the same on both sides... Any thoughts? The right picture the piston was down a little bit, both are identical in person and the left pic is a better representation of what they look like.

I'm running and ada head with 35 cc domes.

What lead me to pull the head was the feeling the motor gave the other day. Kinda tuff to describe... It hit good but the motor felt a little off.. I have heard the motor will "ping" more if its lean and I suspect thats what I was hearing...
