Just found out the GS I bought has little or no compression on the left cylinder. Haven't determined what exactly the problem is, but it's looking like I get to pull the top end. The question I have is, are the pistons listed on BikeBandit.com and Mrcycle.com oversize? Didn't see anything mentioning oversize.
1990 GS500, 1979 GS850, 1974 TX650, 1972 BMW R/75/5, 1972 Triumph chopper. All in various stages of repair.

Suzuki does make .5 and 1mm oversize pistons. They come with rings, but you can't buy the rings by themselves :? if you want to put fresh rings in later.
