Posted June 7, 201311 yr My new piston kit finally arrived from Yambits after 3 weeks waiting. Going to install with a mechanic friend tomorrow. Its a 0.5mm upsize kit. I bought the bike rebored with new piston kit fitted, but top ring was broken. I have been reading of rings breaking due to ports not chamfered after reboring. Not sure if this is what happened here.DT175G 1980 model 4L9 serial.Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of when doing this installation?
June 7, 201311 yr Moderator the rings ar both different, the bottom one os parallel and the top one is a 'keystone' section...be sure to fit the right...there us a cutout at the edge of each ring to go around the peg
