I have a Pro-X piston and rings in my Rm 125 currently. They have about 13 hours on them, and just want to throw fresh rings in it before the season starts.

All I can find on most online stores are Wiseco replacement rings, will these work? Or are there other rings I should be searching for to be compatible with Pro-X piston?

Thanks for the help!

As much as I appreciate the google search, I was looking for compatibility answers.

I am aware that I can pay triple the price to get rings sent to me in Canada - about the same price as the piston and ring set.....so just checking if I order Wiseco rings from a reliable & cost effective parts supplier....or if I should use OEM or if Pro X is a unique piston and ring combo.

I may be no help then because I'm not 100%, but (I think) Pro-X and OEM are compatible and Wiseco will only work with Wiseco. Pro-x and OEM Suzuki are both made by ART in Japan.

I called weisco/pro-x last month about replacement rings for the pro-x piston I have in my '02 RM 125. The guy said OEM rings are compatible. Since I'm running a "size c" pro-x piston in my RM (53.96mm), I was unsure about OEM ring fitment (since OEM pistons are 53.94mm, as far as I know). But the guy at Weisco said such a small bore difference doesn't matter. So I slapped a regular ol' OEM 02 RM125 ring in there (about six hours ago) and she's been haulin' ass ever since!

I have installed regular OEM rings in a prox and a vertex cr125 piston. No problems after mor hours than desired for a 125
