KAWASAKI KX 125 1992-1993 GRADE C 53.97mm SINGLE RING PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using exotic aluminium alloys called Low-Ex Silicon charged with 12%, 18% or 21% depending on the application. Vertex pistons are manufactured using either a gravity cast or hydraulic forging process. The material structure is refined using a hi-tech Heat Treatment completed in an automatic HT implant with solubilization by quench in hot water. This heat treating process is cutting edge technology for this type of aluminium alloys. The machining process is completed using the latest CNC machines and software as well as the usage of diamond tools. By using this high tech tooling, specific surface finishes can be achieved depending on the final application of the finished piston. Every Vertex piston passes through a rigorous manual and automatic quality control process to insure only the highest quality level. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating to aid during piston break in and reducing friction during the work inside the cylinder. Recently, Vertex has introduced a new, all over, Phosphate Coating which has a slight hardness increase combined with a light surface porosity that exhibits superior adhesion qualities of the Molybdenum Coating, extending the coating durability for twice as long. Single ring piston with 53.97mm bore size.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Grade C Single Ring Piston
Engineered for peak performance, this Vertex single ring piston is designed to restore power and reliability to your motorcycle engine. Vertex utilizes advanced manufacturing processes to create pistons that meet the rigorous demands of high-performance off-road riding.
Advanced Material Technology
Each piston is crafted from exotic Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminum alloys. This material is processed through either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, then refined via a high-tech automated heat treatment process to ensure optimal structural integrity and thermal resistance.
Precision Engineering and Finishing
Vertex employs state-of-the-art CNC machinery and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve precise tolerances and specific surface finishes. Every unit undergoes strict manual and automatic quality control inspections to guarantee performance consistency.
Enhanced Durability Coatings
This piston features specialized surface treatments designed to extend engine life and improve break-in efficiency:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that significantly reduces friction and provides vital lubrication during the initial piston break-in period.
- Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One technology, this secondary coating adds surface hardness and a light porosity. This improves the adhesion of the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the durability of the piston coating.
Key Features
- Grade C sizing with a 53.97mm diameter.
- Single ring configuration for optimized sealing and reduced friction.
- Low-expansion alloy construction for stable performance under high heat.
- Advanced phosphate and molybdenum coatings for superior wear resistance.
- Manufactured using cutting-edge heat treatment and CNC machining processes.
