Description
Stage6 StreetRace 50cc Piaggio Piston
Replacement piston, size A, with a 40 mm diameter, for the 50cc Stage6 StreetRace cylinder; compatible with air- and water-cooled Piaggio scooter engines.
As soon as you notice a loss of power or decreased compression, you should replace the piston. This genuine replacement piston for the Stage6 cylinder ensures proper maintenance of your engine.
Stage6 Piaggio Piston:
- Piston, 40 mm
- Size A
- 2x Piston rings
- Piston pin 12 mm
- 2x piston clips
Notes:
Remember to also order the matching 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 sports-class cylinder kits, we recommend replacement after 5,000 to 7,500 km.
Stage6 Streetrace
As the name suggests, the Streetrace series was developed for sporty street use. The Stage6 series includes cylinders and exhausts that deliver relatively high performance, but still function reliably in everyday use.
The Stage6 Streetrace series feature the optimum balance between performance and durability to offer scooter and supermoto riders a high level of riding enjoyment even in everyday use.
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.
