ATHENA Racing Forged Piston ref. S4F054500030 for HUSQVARNA CR 125, WR 125 1997-2014

ATHENA offers this piston kit for HUSQVARNA CR 125, WR 125 1997-2014. The piston slides in the cylinder and takes the force of the air-fuel combustion, passing it to the connecting rod and crankshaft.

Why choose a forged piston?

Instead of simply being cast, a forged piston is hot-pressed under very high pressure and then machined: its metal is denser and free of air pockets.

• Stronger when hot: it copes better with high revs, overheating and detonation.
• Lighter for the same strength: less stress on the connecting rod and bearings.
• Good to know: depending on the alloy, it expands a little more and is fitted with more clearance; slight noise when cold is normal.
• Why does it cost more? Forging tools, full machining and surface treatments cost more than simple casting.

Why choose ATHENA?

Athena, the Italian manufacturer founded in 1973, is an original-equipment supplier to manufacturers such as KTM and Ducati: the same standards for your replacement parts.

When should you replace the piston on your HUSQVARNA CR 125?

Harder starting, loss of power, blue smoke, oil consumption or a knock when cold: these are the signs of a tired top end.

No manufacturer hour figure for this model. Cross-Mania guideline: compression check every 20 h in hard use and every 40 h for leisure.
