hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a "vehicle" other than the Kawasaki of course that has the same rings as this bike? I know, for example, on a XS650, there are cars that will match. Wondering if that was the case for this bike too? Reason I am asking is I am trying to be frugal on rings and the cheapest I have seen thus far is $100 for all 4. Maybe that is cheap?

Don't know of any stock alternatives but if you take the rings to an engine re-conditioner they should have a book that can cross reference the sizes and type and find some that fit regardless of make/model.
$100 is cheap though for a full set of stock Kawasaki rings and any replacments you find probably won't be any cheaper or may be of lesser quality.
Rings is not an area you want to be skimping on and if your cheap set fail you have the additional cost of more rings and another head gasket etc etc.
False economy.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration$100 for a set of rings is CHEAP. I paid more than double that for KZ750 rings and I found a pretty good deal.

A 240 grit ball hone will go nicely with those rings.
