dont know what machine you're talking, but I would say yes.  I have run oem wrist pins, clips, and bearings on aftermarket pistons many times.  Or your other option is to order the replacement Wiseco wrist pin.

I dont know about the 250/125 (section your posting in)..

But in the 500... I run the OEM pin...  it is lighter weight than the wiseco (taper bored).    The only differance is the OEM is longer, and one has to shave it down a few thou....

Yes, not only some of the  Kawasaki's, but also other brands. (Did you look up the number for your CR250?)  :wink:
