Checking The Piston Rings - Yamaha MT-01 T 2005 Service Manual

b. If out of specification, rebore or replace the
cylinder, and replace the piston and piston
rings as a set.
c. Measure piston skirt diameter D "a" with the
micrometer.
Piston
Diameter D
96.960–96.975 mm (3.8173–
3.8179 in)
b. 10 mm (0.39 in) from the bottom edge of the
piston
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
0.025–0.050 mm (0.0010–0.0020
in)
Limit
0.15 mm (0.0059 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.

2. Install:
• Piston ring
(into the cylinder)
NOTE:
Level the piston ring into the cylinder with the
piston crown.
