    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

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.
 
Fiat piston rings fit the number is 2C5051
they are aout 20 25e

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