Hi Need to replace the rings on 98-04 SM 610 S (E-start), apparently the rings are no longer available from Husqvarna ! So firstly does anybody have a source for the OEM rings ? If they no longer available does the Wossner 8815D piston kit fit this model ? (aware that the TE/TC left kicker piston is different). Thanks for any help on this – bike has been laid up for 2 months because of this!! Cheers Johnny
You should contact wossner to see which pistonz to buy - don't trust the site because there is confusion between the 610 left kicker and the e start one. OEM rings will be hard to come by, if you can I'd suggest replacing the piston altogether, wossner ones aren't too expensive...
I think Athena also has 610 pistons and they are very nice and the price is better than the OEM stuff.
Thanks for the replies, contacted Wossner directly - this piston is only spec'd for the later 04-10 E-start models and it is the only one they list for the E-starts 610's. Have spoken to a guy who tried one of these in earlier bike - fitted but bike would not run! The 98-04 runs a dished piston, seem to have changed to flat crown with valve cut-outs with later bike - I presume with diff head design, hence squish diff and why not running I presume. Can't find any info on the Athena one, anybody tried it or any others - FBF / Wiseco in the earlier bike? Cheers
