    I broke one piston ring when I was putting it back together. It's the top c-ring of the piston. Anyone know if these are sold individually or do I have to buy the whole ring set for all four cylinders? If so, I'm screwed. :(

    You only have to buy a set of piston rings for the one cylinder affected.

    my yamaha/suzuki dealer was always able to order them, when I kept breaking them trying to put the jug back on by myself, 40 for a single set.

    Got them from my dealer today as well, $45 plus tax. Not too bad. Chacal emailed me back right after I bought them.

    Hopefully I'm not ordering more after the new ones come in, lol.
