Better change lah, piston very important. Smile

it will lead to a condition called "loss of compression", which means the ring can no longer maintain pressure above the piston, because it's no longer sealing the top from the bottom of the piston. you'll feel loss of power, which will eventually lead to you being unable to start the bike at all. get it changed ASAP.

not very expensive lah
if i m not wrong......
the rings onli cost $40+
but the workmanship cost alot more.....
coz alot of work

GAME OVER SG

Piston ring cost $28(if i never remember wrongly)... If u want to change piston ring than i would advice u to service yr block as well... They've to open the engine up anyway... So might as well do a full service... When u change yr piston ring, they'll have to replace yr casket as well... It'll cost u a few hundred bucks but if u love yr bike than dun save this type of $$$... Save some $$$ might lead u to spend more $$$ than what u can save... Think twice!

worn out/loose rings can damage the block? wah... didn't know top-end servicing would cost that much. gaskets are quite cheap right? can a loose piston ring cause a seizure?

anyway.. fyi, if i am not wrong.. loose piston rings will never result in piston seizure..

becoz piston seizure is normally cause by no enough lubricant, or high rev.. too much compression cause piston to stress, therefore cause piston seizure.. for loose piston rings, there will be low compression.. bike will have no power.. especially when valve open..

my bike also piston ring loose.. you can go and try to buy 2T that will tighten your piston ring.. i tried Mobil one.. then bike got a bit more power.. anyway it's advisiable to change piston/piston ring.. because scared that your piston ring will damage your block..

and piston rings are dirt cheap, compared to workmanship.. for what i know, workmanship for opening th block is abt $60-$80.. so if open block might as well change piston/piston ring, service conrod, etc..
