Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
According the factory service manual for the GS1000 (typical for other models as well), the 'R' stamped into it for identification should face upward during install. I'm not sure what the N indicates but you might want to check the service manual for your bike to see if there is any meaning.

Just two different sets of rings. My manual says they can be either R or N type and not to mix them. The oil rings are completely different between the two.

Thanks for the info! The thing that I wanted to know is what is the difference between the two types. The main difference is the oil ring. I was hoping that the R set is better then the N set. The original set are Ns.
