Correct piston ring installation kz750

slimmyt · 10-08-2008

I am putting new rings in my 82 kz750 ltd and like a dummy took all the old rings off of all the pistons before I started to install the new rings and now I don't know which of the top 2 rings goes in which groove. One of my upper rings is squared on the edges and the other is beveled on the piston side. Which one goes where and does the bevel go up or down?
thank you for your help

On a 750 Twin:

The top ring has no bevels (no up or down direction)

the second ring has a beveled lip that goes downward.

The third ring is the wide oil ring, no up or down.
