Piston Malossi, Minarelli 100, d=57,5mm.
Malossi is one of the leading Italian manufacturers of tuning and racing parts for scooters, 50cc motorbikes and mopeds. With a lot of know-how and a never-ending will to innovate, the brand has become the epitome of scooter tuning worldwide.
The piston with piston ring(s), piston pin and locking clips is the moving heart of the cylinder. Due to the constant up and down movement, the piston is subject to wear. At some point, the tolerances are no longer correct, the piston ring no longer seals perfectly and the performance decreases, i.e. the piston must be replaced.

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.
Tuning Level: Sport
We categorize our products into different performance levels Original, Sport, Racing and High End , so that our customers can choose the right parts for their setup. It is really important to combine parts that belong to the same tuning level, this is especially true for cylinders, crankshafts and exhausts.
The products listed under Sport yield better performance than Original parts. They may have technical differences, such as the use of higher quality materials, a larger displacement or a performance-enhancing design. They are suitable for everyday use and have a long service life.
