I just measured the bore of my ST at 84.8mm is this standard or oversize ? I have to order rings, preferably the right ones .

Don't you have nikasil cylinders Sibbo?
If so, one size fits all. There is no oversize.

That's for the old bikes, not ours.
How's the original cross hatching in your cylinders?

It looks pretty good but the rings are shot, a bit of carbon on the pistons but nothing dramatic, just tired .
New needle and jets too.
