Anybody got some? I've got some requests out there with a dealer or two saying they have 'em on back order but I just thought I'd put a shout out to all those 610 owners/dealers that might have a set put back somewhere. I really got to get this bike back together before I forget how it came apart.
Hall's would be my first choice to call. The dealer that I normally deal with over the phone is Ridersville Cycle in Berkley Springs, W.Va. They are a mom & pop shop that sells a lot of Huskys. You might try them too. They have visibility to an items availability or backorder with thier suppliers.
If you have the dimensions I would also check with Total Seal. They have a pretty slick arrangement might have some that would fit this application. Or you might be able to make a minor modification to the piston to make them work.
Yeah I thought about non-oem rings and even having some made but I'm just a little nervous about mixing stock and aftermarket parts together in such a critical area.
Lookie what I got from the nice man in the Fedex truck today. Got these too, a couple days ago. ...and this just came back from the machine shop.
It all started as a cam chain swap and turned into a "let's freshen up the top end" job, cuz it was cold outside, I was bored and just kept going deeper. At 10K miles everything in the motor was amazingly clean and well within spec so I just did a few things to ensure the next 10K miles would be worry free. New cam chain New exhaust valves (because they're two-part and want to be sure they stay as one) All 4 valve seats properly ground (this was the only room for improvement I could find, ports are already very efficient and smooth) New piston rings plus all the top end gaskets and o-rings Ohlins suspension serviced (forks and shock) Lacing new Excel hoops to the OEM hubs (because the OEM SM rims are shit) Bead-blasting the headers (might get them ceramic coated)
Looks like you're doing a great job. I have heard something about cam follower/rocker wear. That stuff was OK?
Ya that's how most things go. I'm sure that's how my family got started. Sorry TMI Nice Job Goosedog. When do you think you will be done, and have some photos?
