Re: Possible causes of rapid ring wear?
Had this happen once: installed a new kwaka jet ski piston set up. Rode to a rally(Summit point-about 185 miles from me) and wore out a set of rings.

Re: Running in new rings?
I would say it would depend on how hard the metal is in your cylinder. If it's soft, they probably break in when kicking it over :o . if the metal is hard between 60-100 miles, blatting it as Bristolmod says. That way there'll be no lip at the top of the cylinder for the rings to catch on when you f...
