Description
Stage6 StreetRace 50 Piaggio Piston
Piston (oversize B, diameter 40 mm) for the Stage6 50cc StreetRace cylinder for Piaggio AC and LC engines.
If you notice a loss of power or reduced compression, the piston should be replaced with a new one. This original piston for the Stage6 cylinder is ideal for regular maintenance of your engine.
Stage6 Piston for Piaggio:
- Piston D.40 mm
- Size B
- 2x piston rings
- 12mm piston pin
- 2x piston clips
Notes:
Remember to also order the appropriate cylinder gasket set, as it must be replaced every time the engine is disassembled.
Manufacturers typically recommend replacing the pistons every 10,000 km for stock engines. For tuned engines, this mileage is correspondingly lower. For sport cylinder kits, replacement is recommended between 5,000 and 7,500 km.
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.
