Hi all,
you all are usually very helpful for which I'm totally grateful. I have to replace the rings on one piston and look ing for other OEM parts, on my 2007 ZR-7S. Found some sites online as there is no local Kawasaki dealer (nearest is ove an hour away), but I'm not sure whom to trust.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
sincerely,
Michel

I always liked Rocky Mountain ATV and their oem parts program. I've also had good luck from RevZilla and Partzilla. Any of them will get you what you need if the part is still available.

Don't go to Bike Bandit. They're out of business but they'll take your money.
I had good service with Rocky Mountain when refurbishing my 7.

I've heard good things about Rocky Mountain too, but never used them.

thanks

Are you replacing the rings in all four cylinders?

 

[vtcycle]

no just one.... I decided that the price difference among all the websites vs the "local" Kawasaki dealership is only the Vermont sales tax, so went with them. But I have to driv 1 hour+ to pick them up.

Me, I’d replace all four since I had the head off. At that point it’ll take just a few minutes longer ( and a couple of bucks more).

Zed7-I gave it some serious thought, but decided against doing that as the PSI in the other three are all around the same.

 

[Zed7]

What was the compression in the other three?

 

[vtcycle]

140,120,140

Your new cylinder may get 170 psi. According to the manual, usable range is 109 - 170 psi.

That’s the spirit. All it takes is money. 👍
