Triplecrown421 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 I'm installing pistons into my banshee motor and I'm at the rings as I'm typing this. I'm using genuine Yamaha rings which way up an down do I install them? The rings have t2 and 50 on one side of them on each side of the gap. But the ring gap is cut at an angle which way is up? Quote
troyzstang Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Angle lines up with piston pin. Allows the ring to close around pin. if that makes any sense 1 Quote
Triplecrown421 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Posted September 11, 2015 You are absolutely right!! But I have to admit I had a noob moment.... I ordered genuine rings an have Wisceo pistons..... An found out the hard way they don't work togeather... Soo I got the proper rings in now an have the bike running!!! Having some problems now with my kill switch setup, previous owner removed the key an installed a pull tether which has gotten old an cuts the ignition on an off.... Aswell the kill switch dosnt work for some reason or another. Quote
troyzstang Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Had the same issue. Turned out to be really stupid. Try twisting the pull teather back in ( simply tighten the piece you pull to insert the key) Quote
