METEOR High Compression Piston Kit for KAWASAKI KLX 450, KXF 450 2006-2011

METEOR offers this piston kit for KAWASAKI KLX 450, KXF 450 2006-2011. The piston slides in the cylinder and takes the force of the air-fuel combustion, passing it to the connecting rod and crankshaft.

Why replace the piston?

The benefits:

• Restore compression, power and easy starting.
• A piston of the right size keeps the intended clearance in the cylinder: less noise and less oil consumption.
• A new piston with rings, pin and clips: nothing to reuse from the old one.

Why choose METEOR?

Meteor is an Italian piston manufacturer; its Racing range covers 2- and 4-stroke motocross and enduro engines, with pistons offered in several sizes to match the actual cylinder bore.

When should you replace the piston on your KAWASAKI KLX 450?
