YAMAHA YZ 125 1997 OVERSIZE +0.50mm 54.45mm SINGLE RING PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content depending on the application. Pistons are produced using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a heat treatment process. Machining is performed using CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction, and a newer Phosphate Coating for enhanced durability and adhesion. This piston is single ring and oversize at +0.50mm with a 54.45mm diameter.
