Replacement Piston Rings STD size

[brownv1]

Anyone know if these are legit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-XS40...rcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589cd1cdf7 Need the stock size rings and this is all I can find. Guy says they're the right ring but the packaging looks sketchy. Any thoughts? Are there any questions I can ask to confirm?

Side note anyone know if the swing arm off a xs360 http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9277 will fit my 80 400 special?

he did say they are after-market items in the listing.

So are not genuine yamaha

never heard of an xs350!

Typo 76 xs 360...fixed^

 

[drewpy]

I suspect the 360 swing arm is about an inch shorter, but everything else will fit if its an SOHC model

Thx drewpy

why is the swing arm shorter on the 360?

 

[bcware]

It's probably geared differently and likely has a different chain and sprocket setup to maximize the engine's output. I'm speculating though!

 

[drewpy]

I never noticed till I went to a show and there was a later (1980ish) bike and a "special". I had my xs440D which is just after the 360

The guy pointed out to me the difference and without them side by side I would have never known.
More trail I guess which = easier straight line riding

Anyone tried these rings yet?

I priced genuine rings with my local dealer and they worked out at £100 a set
