I bought a set of those rings separate from the same E-Bay seller for $18.00 a couple of months ago. Have not used them yet. I have a set of low milage (700mi) Kawi pistons I was going to try them on.


It may not be as easy as you think... I tried (just for a laugh) to fit an original ring into the top groove of a Cr.Im. piston and it would not fit. The Kawi ring was too thick for the C.I. groove. I have e-mailed the seller and asked about buying extra rings and was told that his supply had run out - at least until next year. Looks like it will cost me $100+ for a complete set of pistons, pins, clips and rings because of my boneheaded twist of the barrel while reinstalling.... :banghead

Still..., I'm lucky someone's able to help me out, given the paucity of spares. I can't wait to feel this baby pull the way she should :D

WTF :wtf:

If the same thing happens to me, I guess the only option will be Reproduction Decals (although the previously mentioned thread mentions that their pistons also imply lower compression ratios) at around $350 a set. Gracious! Doesn't anyone from Wiseco frequent this forum??

It's almost enough to make me sell the rest of the bike for parts and buy a T500 instead :roll:
