Checking The Piston Rings - Yamaha 2006 FJR1300A Service Manual

NOTE:
Measure cylinder bore "C" by taking side-to-side
and front-to-back measurements of the cylinder.
Then, find the average of the measurements.

rings as a set.
c. Measure piston skirt diameter "D" "a" with the
micrometer.

d. If out of specification, replace the piston and
piston rings as a set.
e. Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
with the following formula.
• Piston-to-cylinder clearance =
Cylinder bore "C" -
Piston skirt diameter "D"
Piston-to-cylinder clearance
0.020–0.045 mm (0.0008–0.0018
in)
Limit
0.12 mm (0.0047 in)
f. If out of specification, rebore or replace the

cylinder, and replace the piston and piston
rings as a set.

CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS

1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
NOTE:
Before measuring the piston ring side clearance,
eliminate any carbon deposits from the piston
ring grooves and piston rings.
