Suzuki / Re: 1975 RM125S vs M Pistons

this may be ancient history to some, but Suzuki part numbers got confused on the M to S change over so list all the pistons and rings to supercede to a mix of both. the problem is when they "pick" the parts they reverse the supersession so M or S pistons can be matched with M or S rings. nobody really uses S rings any more  so stick with M or TM or TS or TC or outboard motor pistons and rings, but cut the skirt to suit.

hi guys, I have some 1975 rm125s's around, complete and in parts. but I don't get on here too much (my generation do not type). my number is 0421509083 it's a land rover business number, so please explain it is about some old dirt you like.

there is a difference in the compression heights (pin to crown height). early is 40mm and late is 39mm, I don't know the point they changed and I have only seen it in after market pistons. it causes problems with the squish clearance, so the barrel has to be shimmed to match.
