Vertex Big Bore Piston Kits

Vertex offers Big Bore piston kits for a variety of applications, including Kawasaki off-road bikes from the 1990s and up. All pistons are heat-treated with a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, and all piston skirts are coated with a high-tech molybdenum disulphite coating for faster break-in time and increased piston life. Cast piston kits are gravity cast aluminum alloy (not forged) with 18 percent silicone content—which produces an extremely light but very strong piston. Forged pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum for superior strength and durability. Forged high-compression pistons improve power and torque across the entire RPM range. Big Bore pistons increase engine displacement, torque, and peak horsepower. Forged Replica pistons are forged OE replacements. Replica pistons and all rings are OEM replacements. Show Less
