piston rings

[Guest]

I need to order new rings for my 82 1100gl. On boulevardsuzuki.com they list 2 different ring sets. I don't want to sould like a complete moron here but, which ones do I need?

Here is the page, http://www.boulevardsuzuki.com/fiche...1982&fveh=2159

26-1 and 26-2. I am assuming that one is an oversize ring? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Ring sets ending in -050 are oversize by 1/2 mm. Ring sets ending in -100 are oversize by 1mm.

Just give them a call and they will let you know which ones you need, beats ordering the wrong ones. They're super easy to get ahold of on the phone.

Ring sets ending in -050 are oversize by 1/2 mm. Ring sets ending in -100 are oversize by 1mm.

This is correct. The oversized rings have a suffix.

The proper part number is...12140-49270

Thanks for the replies folks. Standard rings it is. Been looking at ball hones and enginehones.com, the bore for mine is 72mm. Should I go with the 70mm hone or the 73mm hone? Also, what grit do you guys use? I read in another thread somewhere about the 320 grit, is this a popular one?

Thanks again.

If you hone it, won't you need over size rings?

I beleive that honing the cylinders just takes the glazing off so that new rings can seat properly. If you were to have scoring in the cylinder that required boring out then you would need oversized pistons and rings.

Oh of course, mix up of terms.
