Ring Piston Work Costs for Leading Motorcycles in Pakistan




Ring Piston Work Costs for Leading Motorcycles in Pakistan
If you’ve recently acquired a motorcycle that needs ring-piston maintenance or purchased a used bike requiring this service, you might be wondering about the cost. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the expenses involved for various Pakistani motorcycles, including the Honda CD , CB, CG, YBR, Suzuki GS, GR, and Pridor models.
Honda CD 70: Pakistan’s Iconic Bike
The Honda CD 70, often considered Pakistan’s national bike, is known for its smaller engine, which typically means that ring-piston work may be needed sooner than on bikes with larger engines. Its compact piston size results in higher RPMs—approximately 12-14k RPMs—compared to the CG125, which maxes out around 10k RPMs. Additionally, the CD 70’s engine tends to heat up quickly due to its smaller surface area. On average, a new CD 70 engine lasts around 30-40k km, with potential ring-piston issues appearing as early as 15-25k km under less careful usage.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Atlas Honda piston kit): Rs. 8,500
Non-genuine parts (Crown Lifan piston kit, oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 6,500
Honda CG125: A Reliable Workhorse
The Honda CG125 is a robust and dependable motorcycle. With proper maintenance, including timely oil changes, the engine can last between 60-80k km. However, due to frequent neglect, many CG125 owners encounter ring-piston issues between 30-50k km. This is often due to the use of substandard or counterfeit oils and infrequent oil changes.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Atlas Honda piston kit): Rs. 14,000
Non-genuine parts (Crown Lifan piston kit, oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 8,000
Suzuki GS150 & GR150: Durable and Long-Lasting
Both the Suzuki GS150 and GR150 share a similar engine platform, known for its durability and reliability. Many owners report their engines lasting over 100,000 km with proper care. Regular oil changes using Suzuki 10w-40 oil can ensure the engine lasts well beyond 80k km. Older models, particularly from 2012-2015, may require ring-piston work.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Suzuki piston kit): Rs. 25,000
Non-genuine parts (Crown Lifan piston kit, oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 14,000
Honda CB150F: A Common Ring-Piston Issue
The Honda CB150F is notorious for early ring-piston issues, often due to a manufacturing defect. This problem can occur even in new bikes. Despite the free replacement offered under warranty, the bike may continue to consume oil excessively. Regular maintenance can extend the bike's life to 50-70k km.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Atlas Honda piston kit): Rs. 33,000
Non-genuine parts (piston kit with oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 15,000
Honda Pridor: Frequent Maintenance Required
The Honda Pridor is known for its early ring-piston wear, usually after 15-25k km, which is often attributed to a manufacturing flaw present in some units. Even newer models may require this maintenance sooner rather than later.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Atlas Honda piston kit): Rs. 11,000
Non-genuine parts (Crown Lifan piston kit, oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 4,000
Suzuki GD110s: A Sturdy Choice
The Suzuki GD110s is renowned for its long-lasting engine. With proper care and regular oil changes, this bike can typically last up to 60k km. Older models from around 2015-2016 might need ring-piston work.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Suzuki piston kit): Rs. 18,000
Non-genuine parts (Crown Lifan piston kit, oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 9,000
Yamaha YBR: Reliable with Regular Maintenance
The Yamaha YBR is another durable motorcycle that, when maintained with OEM Yamaha 10w40 oil and regular changes, can last at least 70k km. However, older models might be nearing the need for ring-piston work.
Costs for Ring-Piston Work:
Genuine parts (new sleeve and 0 size Yamaha piston kit): Rs. 20,000 (estimated)
Non-genuine parts (piston kit with oversized 0.5mm piston): Rs. 9,000
