Hi guys, long story short, I'm looking for the oil ring's for a 2007 1100 GRiSO. They've been on order with a well know company in blighty for 3 months, only to be told they think?! The part may have been discontinued ? Can anyone confirm if the part's still available, if not would the piston or ring manufacturer details be know ?
Thanks for the help/ advise in advance.

I think I've got a set in stock. Let me check.
And yes it seems they are discontinued. Time to hunt some up on the aftermarket.

Hmm-thought EU law mandated 7 years manufacturing of parts from when a machine was last sold-which would make it 2026 for a GRiSO.

Doesn’t mean shit apparently. A whole load of CARC stuff is vanishing off the available lists.

Italian companies have been a law into them selves for as long as I can remember! Supply laws mean nothing, I've worked for Italian business, nightmare!

2007 has long gone past the 7 year itch. Just sayin!

So.... I've been digging around, mailing various suppliers asking if they can help. If anyone has ONS available. One reply has confirmed the rings have been discontinued on Guzzi, however, the piston complete with rings are still available. Work that one out! The pistons come in at £364.00 euros each plus shipping. Ouch!

I have a set, well, two sets if you're interested. I'm going to have to measure them up so I can source them on the aftermarket before I sent 'em off but they're yours if you want them?
