PEACE GUYS ITS BEEN A BLAST!!!!! ~patrick

so whta all do you have to do and how much are they? i gotta order mine too cuz the spare has a nick in it that im not gonna chance  

well. i went to wiseco. and there online catalog wasnt working. the only thing that would work was to search for your bike. closest i get is a ktm 250sx. which is the same motor prety much. only thing is is that the ktm has 2 rings. I only need one. so 2 rings is gonna cost me 33.50 or something like that. one costs about 16.50 if you can get it for your bike. i wouldn't chance it either. ~pat

pat,
my ring came in today while i was at work.  i got home and slapped it all together and now its fine.  the kick is alot stiffer and it now statrs with one kick again just like it does after every build (except i usually put a new piston in too) and for the first 15-20 hours of riding.  i like to oil my piston up pretty good so anyy excess metal that could be in there will hopefully go to the bottom, so it takes about a minute or two of roll through kicks but when the cylinder cleans up and hits it fires up within two or three hard kicks on start up.  no more top end bog no push starting lol! anyways, if you need anyhelp or advice just p.m. me or hit this thread up again b/c ill be happy to help.  good luck
btw, remember on the first start up try not to let it idle, keep the revs going (not too high) but letting it idle isnt great for a good break in (at least not for 4 strokes, im sure the same principles apply) rev it slightly and let it warm to operating temp and give it a couple sharp jabs at the throttle to make sure its ok and it should seat the ring in good.
