Took the top end apart tonight to change out the rings and found a suprise.
Under the lower piston ring, I found a thin wafer like ring. In all my years of dirtbike riding/overhauling I have never seen or heard of such a thing.( Not that 'that' means anything......)
It appears as if it would apply more outward force on that ring to assist in sealing..???
The manual makes no mention of such a beast. Then again my manual is for a 200 not a 220..
buykawasaki.com does show it for the 220...
Two Questions..
1. What's it for??
2. Does it belong under the 2nd ring
or under the 1st ring.?
Thanks
