Piston ring compression tool
Anyone got the Kawasaki piston ring compression tool for sale or rent. Happy to pay postage and a rental fee. It’s for the Z1100. Cheers

You don't need it. Cut hoops from a fizzy drinks bottle, slit it so the slit ends can overlap. Long cable tie it around the rings.

Re: Piston ring compression tool
I have one that I could be persuaded to part with, ( not sure if it’s correct for a Z1100) .
But to be honest, I found that it is easier to use strips of a plastic bottle with cable ties.
Good luck
