I suspect that the reason you haven't had a reply to this is because it is not a common motorcycle.

It would appear from the tiny bit of reasearch I have done, it has a 66mm piston. The standard piston has two rings, but the MX version only has one.

As I don't know the compression height, the gudgeon pin size or whether it has reed valve holes in the skirt, I can't offer any more advice, but if you can furnish some more info, there maybe some advice to follow.
