Title: Oversize Pistons
Post by: Zilla on March 13, 2005, 10:21:53 AM
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.

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.
