[Just got new pistons and rings. Do I need to hone cylinder]

Yes one of the rings was in three pieces but still in its slot. There is no visible scarring on the bore and when I mic'd the cylinder it was all within stock spec still

[Just got new pistons and rings. Do I need to hone cylinder]

I did a compression test on a banshee I just picked up and it was reading 30 so I took the jugs off and found the rings were broke. The cylinders look good inside and are smooth. I mixed the cylinder and they are still with stock perimeters so I ordered stock 64 mm pistons and rings. My question is do I need to hone the cylinders before installing the new pistons or can I go ahead and install. I have never had to hone a stock bike before but I see a lot of people on here saying they did it when they replaced the pistons.

 

Thanks jamie
