This kit restores compression by replacing worn piston rings and helps reduce oil consumption, blown-by, and power loss on the trail or worksite. Built to exact Honda OE specifications, it delivers a dependable, cost-effective solution for field use where reliability matters most. When rings lose their seal, you’ll notice diminished power, smoky startup, and increased oil burn—the OS 0.25 kit is engineered to put those symptoms in the past and bring the engine back to peak performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to tackle the common wear points that derail compression, this aftermarket set focuses on ring land wear and oil-control failures that creep in after hours of hard use. It provides a balanced three-ring seal (two compression rings and an oil ring) per piston, delivering consistent compression and proper oil management for demanding trail, farm, and utility duties. With a robust alloy\/iron construction and Honda OE-spec fit, it’s a reliable choice when you need a durable, field-proven rebuild option without OEM pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComprehensive Vehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModels \/ Series\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYears \/ Details\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRX 250 EX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997–2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRX Recon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997–2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Reference Part Numbers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13021-HM8-003 (OS 0.25); 13011-HM8-003 (STD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiston Ring Kit (Over Size OS 0.25)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAftermarket Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda TRX 250 EX (1997–2014); TRX Recon (1997–2022)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOversize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOS 0.25 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRing Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 rings per piston: 2 compression rings + 1 oil ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine-grade alloy steel \/ cast-iron components (Honda OE spec)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOEM \u0026amp; Aftermarket Cross-Reference Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand \/ Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCross-Reference Notes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13021-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda OEM Piston Ring Set (OS 0.25)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross-reference to 13011-HM8-003 (STD); 13031-HM8-003 (OS 0.50); 13041-HM8-003 (OS 0.75); 13051-HM8-003 (OS 1.00)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13011-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda OEM Piston Ring Set (STD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross-reference to 13021-HM8-003 (OS 0.25); 13031-HM8-003 (OS 0.50); 13041-HM8-003 (OS 0.75); 13051-HM8-003 (OS 1.00)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13031-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda OEM Piston Ring Set (OS 0.50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross-reference to 13021-HM8-003; 13011-HM8-003; 13041-HM8-003; 13051-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13041-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda OEM Piston Ring Set (OS 0.75)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross-reference to 13021-HM8-003; 13011-HM8-003; 13031-HM8-003; 13051-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13051-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda OEM Piston Ring Set (OS 1.00)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross-reference to 13021-HM8-003; 13011-HM8-003; 13031-HM8-003; 13041-HM8-003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the box you’ll find the essential components to rebuild a single TRX 250 piston with OS 0.25 oversize rings.
