How hard is it to replace the piston rings or ie: do a ring replacement, has anyone out there done one and can share some info? I own a 2003 FZ1S Bumble Bee. There is a puff of black smoke very occasionally from the exhaust.

ok update after closer investigation the starter plunger link has snapped. thanks to all who view and the one reply. So now I'm on the hunt for carb parts specifically the starter link.

OK the frustration has hit the ceiling. My choke lever moves the choke cable near the carbs but the choke does not seem to engage upon starting.

They are all telling me to get what they got on their bikes, "it's the best the others are crap!" I guess it's just a childish pissing contest! lol,lol,lol

Between 80.00 to 120.00 bucks
