I have taken my pistons out and tried refitting new rings (+0,0) and when i push the rings in the cylinder to check the ring clerance/gap and the gap is about 0.8mm and the book says it´s max 0,02-0,04mm
I have measured the cylinder and pistons and they are in spec !
So the question is ! Have i missed something,or have i got the measurments wrong ?
Any hlp would be apprecited :)
Thanks in advance :)
 
Hey Viking, 0.02 to 0.04 mm is very small, about the same as a hair so new haven mikes figs make much more sense
Post some pics of the rings in the bore if you don’t have the tool
 
Jesus christ :( I have looked at the wrong at the wrong numbers ! Have been sitting still now for a month, and bought oversize rings !
Well this changes everything :) thank you guys for correcting me :)
Cant get over that i missed this :)
Cheers everyone :) Ride safe
