hi in in the process of rebuilding my 1986 fz750; I need new std size piston rings and possibly bearings; or i might be prepared to go to the 1st oversize with pistons and rings; any ideas where i can source some of these at reasonable cost; here in newzealand yamaha original parts are way expensive. Or if any one knows of some alternative rings that may suit; then i am willing to modify my pistons to suit. Also has anyone tried ceramic coatings in there engine i am interested in feedback on this. Also for anybody reading this; i have heard nothing but excellent things about motul synthetic oil; and recommend this myself. iam using this in my 1988 honda gb5oo and it seems excellent.

hey man love you;re project; im in the throws of doing something similar; ive just started stripping an engine i purchased recently; and need a std size set of piston rings; over here in newzealand they are around $200 just for 1 set of rings(x4!!) ridiculous pricing; any ideas on where to get some at reasonble cost? or willng to use other brand and or modify my pistons to suit. im planning on ceramic coating piston tops andcombustion chambers and valves; love that stuff; and reasonable pricing too. fz750s seem to be put together quite well; although i hear gearboxes can get worn at higher mileages and out shaft brgs on gearboxes can go as well; may be a chain adjustment thing.Any ides on increasing performance a tad would be appreciated; i hear opening up the exhaust ports can make them rev quiker; any commets? cheers an go well fellow fz nutters
