Well, then maybe if you said something to that nature before you posted what you said. 
You could have committed on my pictures and post you know. GEE's.

While I was tearing down my friends CR500. I took this picture of my CR500af.
Me and my daughter rode ours out thru the silt and slime, both made it back ok, but she decided to blast thru the last water crossing right before the parking lot,and now it only runs at WOT, guess I'll have to clean the carb. Oh and also did a search and rescue for my GoPro that snapped off the mount, found it bout a mile back from where I noticed it missing.....what a relief, I'm going to tether it to the bars with fishing leader next time.
Should have some good pics hopefully to share.

@snowflake, he does have a good point about you not giving details...
Well today I started the tear down on my friends CR500. Which is my ex 2000 CR500. Getting ready to freshen up the cylinder by possibly boring it out to .040 over.
I forgot one.
Why .40 over?
took subframe and swingarm off yesterday, subframe getting welded and swingarm needed regreased, they had a bunch of dirt in them and shit i was not pleased, might need to get some new bearings and seals sometime in the future, gotta do front wheel bearings and clean carb, and do the steering head o ring it decided to shred
It is over .20 now and from what I seen nobody makes a piston .30 over not even Wiseco. Then again they probably do but I have not seen anyone have one in stock. Not MotorSport outlet or Rocky Mountain.That's just Snow, being Snow. But what I thought he had stuck, wasn't a swing arm bolt.
Maybe it's ,030 over now.
try JE Pistons, if they don't have it, nobodys going to.
JE does not make a piston for my bike. But, thanks for the advice anyway.
So like I was saying, my swingarm pivot bolt was stuck, I beat on it with a hammer hard yesterday and it didn't move. I went home, thought it over 
and got an idea thats probably nothing new to most members here.
I took a piece of 3/8th's all thread, fed it through the pivot bolt, put a nut on the nut side of the bolt, then took a piece of pipe big enough to house the entire bolt and a washer to fit the pipe (initially I used a big impact socket), tightened it up against the frame as tight as I could, moved to the other side, whacked it with a hammer, it moved very slowly. 2 hours later, I got it all the way out, between tightening my make shift puller and hitting the shit out of it with a hammer, much preferable to cutting it or even heating it imo.
I had to double nut it on the bolt head end to keep the all thread from spinning when I started tightening it up.
Good success

Well this is what I found to be the problem with his bike. This is why I always try and buy Genuine parts. Especially, major parts like the crank. This is a Hot Rods crank. I was told this is caused when having to much compression. Does anyone else know if that could be caused by to much compression?
Put a hot rod crank in my RM, works great, been in there bout 3 years now. I like the hr crank over OE crank as it's lighter and the motor revs quicker now.Well this is what I found to be the problem with his bike. This is why I always try and buy Genuine parts.
