Jeff doesn't have any currently listed for the 650's on his site, but I'd suggest checking with him as I'm fairly certain he can get them for you....more than likely cheaper too!

Like RRRR said, contact Jeff at Z1 Enterprises, he usually does not have them on hand, but he can get them and they are a lot cheaper than $45 per cylinder.

I looked into a set for mine about a year ago, 45.00 sounds cheap to me seems like it was around 65.00 a set, at the time jeff didnt have any. if you find some I would like to know where from. I still have not done the top end yet, kind of holding out for the rings and a few other parts I want to replace

Unfortunately we've not been able to locate any reasonably priced rings for the 650's - none of the aftermarket companies are producing them. Factory kawasaki rings are over $160 a set. You do see sets on ebay from time-to-time.

I bought a complete set of standard size GPz750 rings on eBay for less than $40 shipped, but then turned around and bought a set of .5 mm (.020") oversize GPz750 pistons on eBay for less than $40 shipped.

But of course no one in the past year has listed a set of .5 mm oversize GPz750 rings on eBay :angry:

And no, I am not going to sell the pistons, someday I will find a set of rings :D
