    Bent oil ring

    Hi all when installing my barrel over a gs750 with yoshimura 69mm pistons I bent a oil ring ,does anyone know of any compatible oil ring that would work ,I noticed the gs850 standard rings on cruzin image are 69mm ,wondering if anyone knows if they would work;cheers

    The wavy piece is the critcal thing. Be sure end care not overlapped and use an old retainer ring . (thin ones) will harm nothing.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      check that cylinder bore to ensure retainer ring didnt score it

        Thanx mate luckily no damage to bore from reatainer ring I dint have any more 69 mm old retainer rings but a motor with the original 65mm pistons would a retainer ring from one of them be ok ;or end gap to big and cause a problem;cheers
