The ATHENA 16x11x56.2 mm S41317027 piston pin is designed for KAWASAKI KDX 200 and GAS GAS TXT 200 from 1983 to 2006. The piston pin connects the piston to the connecting rod and takes the full force of every combustion. It works in the small end and in the piston bosses: over the hours it wears or gets marked, and play appears.

Fitting tips

1. Check that the pin diameter and length match your piston (see specifications).
2. Oil the pin, the small end and the piston bosses, then push the pin in by hand, without forcing it.
3. At the same time, check the small-end needle bearing.
4. Fit new piston pin circlips, gap opposite the notch, and check they sit properly in their groove.
