Vertex Cast Replica Piston Kit 23614C — 1995-2013 Kawasaki KX100 / Suzuki RM100 (52.46mm)

Product Description

Optimize your engine's compression and performance with the Vertex Cast Replica Piston Kit (23614C). Built to factory specifications for the 99cc Kawasaki KX100 and Suzuki RM100, this gravity-cast aluminum piston is the ideal choice for riders looking to maintain the reliability and power of their 2-stroke machine.

Vertex cast pistons utilize an 18% silicone content alloy, which drastically reduces thermal expansion and ensures the piston holds its shape under intense operating temperatures. Combined with a Molybdenum Disulphite (MoS2) skirt coating, this kit provides a smoother break-in process and improved wear resistance, extending the life of your top-end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose the "C" size (52.46 mm) instead of the "B" size?
A: The "C" size is slightly larger (52.46 mm) than the "B" size (52.45 mm). As cylinders wear slightly over time, moving to a larger piston size ensures you maintain the correct piston-to-wall clearance, preventing piston slap and restoring lost compression.

Expert Pro-Tip: Never guess on piston size. Always measure your cylinder bore with a precision dial bore gauge before purchasing. Matching the piston to your specific cylinder bore is critical for engine longevity and performance.
