Seems rings are a tuff find for these Kawi's . mine were quite brittle as when i tried to remove the rings (carefully) they snapped! ((

Re: 1980 sportfire 440 piston rings wanted
I don't know if Parts Unlimited rings will work as some Kawi pistons don't like other rings, but there are a few sets on ebay right now. They seem to cross over to the AM55163 number.
Anyone?

I've had bad luck trying to get PU rings on stock pistons. Your best bet is to try to find NOS rings or replace the pistons with aftermarket assemblies.
