KAWASAKI KX 125 1995-1997 +0.50mm OVERSIZE 54.45mm SINGLE RING REPLICA PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex Silicon aluminium alloys, with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content depending on the application. Pistons are made using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, with material structure refined through an automatic heat treatment process using a hot water quench. Machining is performed using CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A newer Phosphate Coating offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior Molybdenum Coating adhesion for extended durability. This piston is a replica, +0.50mm oversize, with a diameter of 54.45mm.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Premium Oversize Replacement Piston for Peak Engine Performance
Restore your engine to its original power and reliability with this Vertex high-performance replica piston. Engineered for precision and longevity, this 54.45mm (+0.50mm oversize) single ring piston is designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance two-stroke engines.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex pistons are crafted from specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) aluminum alloys containing a precise silicon content of 12%, 18%, or 21% based on the application. These blanks are produced using either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment process in an automatic HT implant. This ensures a refined material structure that delivers superior strength and heat resistance.
Precision Machining and Surface Coatings
Every piston is machined using state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond-tipped tools to achieve exact surface finishes tailored for optimal cylinder interaction. To maximize durability and performance, this piston features two critical protective layers:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that reduces friction during the critical engine break-in period and throughout daily operation.
- Phosphate Coating: Drawing from Formula One engine development, this coating provides increased hardness and surface porosity. This serves as a base to improve the adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling the lifespan of the protective layer.
Key Features
- Engineered for precise +0.50mm oversize specifications (54.45mm diameter).
- Single ring design for high-revving performance.
- Rigorous manual and automatic quality control testing for maximum reliability.
- Advanced coatings to resist wear and minimize internal friction.
- Constructed with high-tech materials to manage thermal expansion and engine stress.
