    What does this bit do?

    It's from an NPR piston kit for an RG150.

    It looks like it should sit behind one of the piston rings.

    If so which one? Is it necessary at all?

    Er, um, RG150 is a two stroke. No oil ring on a two smoker, cos there's no oil!

    "Tis a ring expander, they used to be common. Where is goes, you need to check the suppliers info. Obviously, behind one of the rings.

    Under 2nd ring.

    Look at the piston & you will see the 2nd land is deeper to accommodate it.

    Why do people reply if they obviously don't know? Packaging? - Please!
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Ivan do you think Phil would be stupid enough to suggest that a piece of plastic goes behind the piston ring?

    Think before you talk dude

    Thanks Dave, beneath the 2nd ring it shall go.

    As for "you need to check the suppliers info" - I tried that. Couldn't find anything from NPR. The suzuki manuals don't show it at all.
