Gs1000 piston ring problems

[Guest]

Where can I find standard size piston rings at? I found weisco rings but someone told me they can only be used in weisco pistons. I refuse too pay 35 bucks per piston for rings like imb wants!

OEM Suzuki rings are available at a multitude of dealership sources, including online from places like Parts Outlaw and Partzilla. They cost more than $35/set though. I'd just pay whatever it takes to get OEM rings and OEM gaskets and seals. One exception: viton valve stems seals as available in the aftermarket are fine quality and last. Call it the price of admission to make sure your bike runs well and lasts.

I don't know where to find less expensive standard rings. If you refuse to pay the price for OEM, then buy another bike.

I found a complete set for 50 bucks. There is not reason that piston rings should cost 35-40 dollars per piston! Especially when there are other engines that use the exact same ring!

Bam! Hastings makes rings that work! https://www.opticatonline.com/part/h...iston-ring-set

Good find. Better measure the ring to groove clearance just to be safe. The specs are in the FSM.
