ATHENA Piston Pin 20x13x51 mm for BETA RR 450 2005-2009

The ATHENA 20x13x51 mm S41317045 piston pin is designed for BETA RR 450 from 2005 to 2009. 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. Fit new piston pin circlips, gap opposite the notch, and check they sit properly in their groove.
