Stage6 50cc Street Race Piaggio Piston Kit
We offer the D.40mm B-side piston for the Stage6 50cc Street Race cylinder, compatible with Piaggio AC and LC scooter engines.
When you notice a loss of power or reduced compression, it’s time to replace your piston with a new one. This genuine Stage6 cylinder piston is ideal for routine maintenance of your engine.
Stage6 Piaggio Piston, at a glance:
- 40mm piston
- B-side
- 2x rings
- Piston pin: 12 mm
- 2x Circlips
Notes:
Don’t forget to also order the top-end gasket kit, which is essential for every disassembly.
Manufacturers generally recommend replacing the piston at 10,000 km for stock engines. On tuned engines, this mileage is therefore necessarily lower. We recommend replacement between 5,000 and 7,500 km for sport-series cylinder kits.
When to replace the piston?
To find out when the piston on your motorcycle, scooter or moped needs to be replaced, it's best to check your bike's manual. You can also keep an eye out for certain symptoms such as loss of compression, loss of power or oil consumption (only for a four-stroke piston).
Extending Piston life
To extend the life of the piston and reduce cylinder wear, it is recommended that you replace the piston rings on an alternating basis. This method maximizes piston life and improves engine performance.
It is important that you replace cylinder gaskets and piston circlips each time you disassemble the cylinder and piston. Failure to do so can result in oil leaks and engine damage.
