Vertex Forged Piston Kit VTKTC22951A — Kawasaki KLX400 / Suzuki DR-Z400 2000-2022

Product Description

Restore your engine's power and reliability with the Vertex Forged Replica Piston Kit. Designed as a high-performance OEM replacement for 4-stroke engines, this kit is forged from 2618 aluminum, providing superior strength and durability compared to standard cast pistons. Whether you are hitting the trail or the street, this kit ensures your engine operates at its best.

Every Vertex piston undergoes a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle for maximum heat resistance. The piston skirt features a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite coating, which significantly reduces friction during the critical break-in period and extends the overall life of the piston, keeping your bike running stronger for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this piston kit compatible with my stock cylinder?
A: Yes, this VTKTC22951A kit features a piston diameter of 89.96 mm, designed for a 90.00 mm cylinder bore, making it an ideal OEM replacement for these models.

Q: What does the Molybdenum Disulphite coating do?
A: This advanced coating reduces friction against the cylinder wall, which minimizes heat, allows for a faster break-in period, and protects against scuffing during the initial miles of engine operation.

Expert Pro-Tip: When installing a new piston and cam chain, always ensure your timing marks are perfectly aligned and your cam chain tensioner is functioning correctly. Never reuse your old circlips; always use the fresh ones provided in the kit to prevent catastrophic engine failure.
