poxy rings!!!

[FingerZ!]

After about a weeks wait, i finally get my rather expensive genuine yamaha second oversize piston rings from GP's in brentwood.

get them home, open the box - all nice and shiney with funy bits on the edge ready to fit n run in.

Get the old rings and compare them - old rings are bigger - ****!

get the new rings in the cylinder to test the end gaps with a feeler gauge only to find that the rings are too small my about 2 mm!!!!

!!****!! :x :x :x

What now?!

I think i have a DT engine which would explain the second oversize measurements matching up to my engine in the manual perhaps but i didnt think of that till now

ARGHHH!!!!! :evil: :evil:

:cry: Sorry to hear that m8. You may just have a DT cylinder - there is very little difference between the DT and the TZR of that year. Its the same with my bike... apart from the gearing, its identical to the DTR125R - which is an english bike, so theres one gettout if my engine is beyond repair :wink:

Where's the engine number stamped on your bike? The gearbox?

Bet GP's wont take them back either :cry:

Why dont you get a new(er) engine m8, or send it up to stanny baby? they could just repair it for you or do a complete rebuild - would save u money in the long run and youd have a nice fast engine then.

L8er.
