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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVertex 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop Features: Vertex Cast Replica Piston Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed as a direct cast OE replacement piston for exact compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gravity-cast aluminum alloy with 18% silicone stabilizes the piston shape under extreme temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoly-Coated Skirt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coated with Molybdenum Disulphite for reduced friction, quicker break-in, and added protection against scuffing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT-5 Heat Treated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Undergoes a complete T-5 hardening and tempering cycle to maximize structural integrity and lifespan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes the precision-matched piston, premium piston rings, wrist pin, and circlips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease check the cylinder sizing requirements and fitment list below before completing your top-end overhaul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiston Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52.46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment List\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eVehicle Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1995-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eKawasaki KX100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSuzuki RM100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why choose the \"C\" size (52.46 mm) instead of the \"B\" size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert Pro-Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/mx-off-road-motorcycle-tools\"\u003eEssential Off-Road Motorcycle Tools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/premium-motorcycle-chemicals-brake-fluid-bike-wash-coolant-chain-lubes\"\u003eHigh-Performance Premix \u0026amp; Gear Oils\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Moto-House MX, we carry the best brands in motocross and off-road performance.
