Yamaha Piston rings
givemethebighammer - 21/3/10 at 08:42 PM

Anyone on here changed the piston rings on a Yamaha bike engine ?

I'm just doing mine on my TDM 850. In the new set of rings there is a grey ring and a grey ring with a silver edge to it. Both have the letter 'T' on the top side, both are the same size and width. The letter 'T' is smaller on the grey ring with the silver edge.

Question is which is the top and which is the middle ring ?

The ones that came out looked the same as each other.
I think the ring with the silver edge is probably the top ring but I'm not sure.

Called Yamaha this morning the grey ring with silver rim / lip is the top ring and the grey one is the middle one. The Letters on the ring surface should face up ('T' in my case)

thanks
