Mikita pistons

#1 Post by Frenchship » Mon Nov 13, 2017 1:45 am

Hi,
Just got front and rear Pistons .50 from Mikata (RZ500), it did not have the ring expander for the second ring. The rings are mark has TZR 125 looking at the parts books for that model it does not show a ring expander.
So no expander will that be a problem?
Thanks
Paul

Here is the answer from Yamabits in regard of the ring expander.Os that male sense.....

Hi Paul,

I have checked with our supplier, and if the pistons are not supplied with expander rings, they are not required. Those sets have a deeper bottom ring and are meant to run without the expander. I hope this explains it.

Many pistons don't use the expander on the bottom ring. It won't be an issue for you Paul. Use them as they are and it will be fine.
