RINGS AND MORE RINGS

[the-oz-slider]

So I have a XS1-B in faded gold, and it needs new wrings.......
I found one set at the local Yamaha dealer/parts emporium original part #256-116-10..
Does anyone know if there are replacements sets available or do I keep hunting for another set of NOS rings?

well I just read the other post about using oversize rings in a std bore, but I still need the correct model rings, but I will be able to use either std or 1st oversize.......

I've used their later 447 rings and they're fine. Don't see why these wouldn't be too.

Got a set of Cruzin's rings for my XS1B should be here in the next day or two. Guess we'll know when they get here.

I might have made the first mention of crusin's rings (for 447) on here. I could only find good reports on them. Since then I have read one report that said his rings for a different bike were very generic and wear quickly. But he was just some guy. I keep meaning to check my compression after a few thousand miles now; when I do I'll report back here. The rings I got, the top and middle rings were identical in appearance and dimensions and were just a plain cross section. No stamping on them to indicate a top side. Without checking compression yet they seem to be doing fine.

we're keepin' our sticks on the ice for the victims of the bus crash in Humbolt SK....
