pickerg1 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Rebuilding the top end of my banshee and I've heard with 2 strokes you don't have to worry about ring gap, even from major rebuilders / dealers.I'm used to four strokes and always had to worry about ring gap.Anybody who rebuilds these things all the time have an answer for me on it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I almost always check it, but I've never had to file any rings. It's supposed to be a percentage of the bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rebuild all the time, but the ones I have, I checked and they were fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lms1977 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I always check.. on the after market cylinders it is almost always fine, when I do my own stock cylinders I don't let them have as much clearance on the piston to wall so some times I need to file them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 And if a piston came with the cylinder as a kit....the the piston fits fine. If the piston came with a ring....then the ring fits fine. Spark plugs are gapped perfect right out of the box. The jetting on the bike you just bought must be fine because it worked for the last guy. ......and she said she can't get pregnant cause she's on the pill. All things you hear about not needing to worry abour or check.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
