The forged design provides better resistance to the thermomechanical stresses encountered in motocross: starts, acceleration, and prolonged demands. The anti-friction treatment of the skirt limits localized wear and promotes clean guidance in the cylinder. Installation and running-in must adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations and be carried out by a skilled mechanic or a meticulous amateur.
Main applications: motocross / cross. Particularly suitable for Kawasaki KX 500 (references KX500D 1988, KX500E 2002 & 2003) — check compatibility with your engine and bore size before ordering.
