NO!

There is no mention whether those rings are for an 1100E or an 1100G (they are different sizes), but it DOES say THEY ARE FOR SECOND OVERSIZE.

You are correct on the first over, however both E & G models are 72mm bore and use the same rings. #12140-49270

Piston Rings

I'm looking for the exact same thing as I am planning on doing a simple hone and then replace the rings provided everything measures out ok first.

Bike Bandit sells OEM ring kits for ~$35 each Seems kind of expensive anybody know a cheaper source?

How do I know which kit to buy as they offer two different sets?

Probably anybody else, besides Alpha.
Alpha - 37.34
Babbitt's - 17.78
Boulevard - 26.06
Carolina - 26.99
Cycle Parts Nation - 26.85
Full Throttle - 34.21
G&S - 25.24
Motogrid - 28.05
MR Cycles - 32.01
Part Shark - 27.60

How do I know which kit to buy as they offer two different sets?

Look at anybody else's parts fiche besides Bike Bandit, you will see that they offer STD and .050 sets.
You want the STD set, which is part number 12140-49270, which is superceded from 12140-49220.

He always comes up with something.



Be greatfull your in the USA not here in the UK. A set of rings for a GS1000 will cost you over £120 ($160+) from a genuine Suzuki parts retailer.
