Removed the barrel, barrel seems good just some normal wear and tear, piston is good. piston ring end gap is 0.40ish (id say more around 0.45ish) but feeler gauge doesn’t have 0.45. Still can’t seem to find spare pistons or rings unless I spend a crazy amount on piston and barrel. I’ve only tested the top ring that should be fine right?

And when piston in barrel it doesn’t wobble or anything, just the normal up and down movement.

Now thinking about it, ik I found the issue and the bike may give sentimental value, but im not sure its worth it, the bike is pretty worn out and if i do get it fixed, im not sure about the reliability down the line, I think it may be time, to part the bike. Sell the parts and helpin other riders keep their GT125Rs running especially since parts for these bikes can be hard to find. Previous owners, had a decent amount of them didn’t looks after this bike, i believe at one point it had a crash, as fairings aren’t painted and clocks been switched. Also not original ignition barrel…

Might be the best option for this bike.

Very high mileage i predict 40-50k rn at 23k but mileage been tampered with or something like that.

Kinda lost the confidence in this bike.
