Pro X 4 Stroke Piston

Details

    If you’re looking for a cast piston that runs like a top and slides like it’s on ice, pick up a Pro X Piston Kit for you bike, UTV, or ATV.

    Pro X pistons are the premier cast piston made from a specialized low-expansion, low-friction aluminum alloy, commonly used by Japanese OEM engine manufacturers to give the piston an incredibly low co-efficient of friction. For you, this translates to a cast piston perfect for 2 strokes and 4 strokes that has the durability of a forged piston but at a much lower cost. Certain models come with a tin-based skirt coating that reduces wear during and after the wear-in process. This black coating also comes in handy during engine servicing since any excess wear to the piston skirt or cylinder wall will be very apparent in the wear patterns of this coating.

    Pro X uses the best materials available along with innovative designs to give you pistons that are tailor made to the unique requirements of your machine. So if you’re worrying about Pro X Piston Kits being a good fit for you, don’t. Pro X has you covered.

    Specs:
  • Kit includes piston, piston rings, wristpin, and circlips
  • Does not include wristpin bearing for 2 strokes
  • High silicon content aluminum alloy piston
  • Some models include tin-based anti-friction skirt coating

Only ProX product that sucks
I typically only use Weisco pistons, but thought prox products have been almost exactly the same as the OEM and for the price how could I pass up this piston.

Just to preface my comments, I've done hundreds of top ends.

The piston seemed to be a good quality and I really couldn't tell much difference between the Weisco and ProX. I did notice that the ProX lacked the same level of skirt coating that Weisco has which helps reduce the wear on the cylinder wall.

When inserting the ProX piston into the cylinder it went in super easy and that concerned me. The Weisco always seems to require a little more work to finesse it into the cylinder. I always coat the cylinder with engine oil prior to install so it's not a dry fit. First start with new piston the bike was angry and didn't want to start. Had to kick it 20+ times before it finally started. Yes, the timing was dead nuts on!!

First ride with the ProX I felt like the bike was lacking torque so obviously the compression was low. On difficult hill climbs and obstacles the bike kept dying on me. After about 3 rides I started to notice some piston slap so I immediately turned it off. Looked at the oil level window and there was way to much showing in it. Oil pressure wasn't there!

Went home and ordered the Weisco piston. Pulled the ProX and it looked okay and there was some wear on the cylinder walls where the skirt rubbed, but no damage. Installed the Weisco and it did require a little finesse and fit very tight in the cylinder unlike the ProX. Bike kicked over in 8 kicks unlike the 20+ with the ProX. Oil pressure is perfect and great compression is back! Bike runs like brand new and pops wheelies with ease. Hills and obstacles are no problem again.

Didn't fit
Got this for my 2015 yz125 and it was the wrong size. I was pretty mad because it was such a good deal for a piston kit. But apparently i needed a c piston and it was a b piston and no way to select the right one

What is a or b piston kit. Mean for pro-x????
A shopper on Aug 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hey there,

The manufacture measures the bore from the factory and provides a letter to represent the size. For example, "A" would be smallest within the manufactures tolerances and "B" or "C" would be larger sizes. The manufacture will usually stamp the cylinder with the size. The recommendations I received are to go up one letter to account to wear and tear. However, that's not official, just a recommendation that was given to me.
I have a 2002 kx 85 with a ported and polished cylinder. Would this work?
A shopper on Mar 3, 2019
BEST ANSWER: As long as your cylinder hasn’t been bored passed standard piston size yes you can. If your cylinder exceeds stock bore size you’ll need to purchase a piston size that matches your bore size. If it’s stock besides the port & polish your good 👍🏻
I have a rm85 with a locked kick start I'm jus trying to find what could it be ?
shaun w on Aug 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: If there is metal in the transmission oil you will need to take the right side cover off and see what is stopping the starter lever. if the piston is seized in the cylinder, the top end will need to be removed and repaired as needed.
is this piston a double ring or single ring piston. i have a 2002 YZ125, and want to know if this will be a good fit?
Vincenzo G on May 16, 2019

Does your Pro X Piston Kit come with a Wrist Pin and Wrist Pin Bearing?
Jeremy T on Feb 7, 2018
BEST ANSWER: yes but i recommend purchasing the oem bearing, the difference in quality is clearly visible
I have a 2015 yz250f and I believe the owner before me put a pro x piston in it and it’s time for some rings but need to confirm if it’s a prox piston or not is there any marking on the piston that I can use to confirm that it’s a prox? and if so can I run oem rings or do I need the prox rings?
Nickolas A on Oct 29, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I would never tear down an engine and just change rings. I’ve had a piston break before and the damage it caused was catastrophic. Send the extra money and have piece of mind
I need to change the Piston rings but i only find the full Pro X piston kit. Do you sell the Pro X Rings or does the OEM piston rings work in this case for the Pro X piston?
Angela Monica G on Sep 4, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I would be happy to look into this for you. What is the year, make and model for your machine?
Would this be legal for Ama stock class racing?
Corey G on Mar 17, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes as long as it stays in that class engine size. If you get a big bore Set you would have to run in and open class.

Randy G on Dec 14, 2017

Should I hone (with ball hone) my 2009 KX 65 bore before installing the piston? The service manual I have says do not hone, but I see on forums people hone their bores
John F on Feb 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: John, the best way would be to use a green scotch brite pad. You basically want to remove the carbon so rings seat in well. Hope that helps in you installation. Jeff
Hi, I bought this piston for my 2013 crf250r, it has a dot on it, which way does the dot go it’s very hard to tell?
Corey F on Feb 21, 2019

What is standard bore size for a 2001 125 yz ?
A shopper on Jun 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Stock bore size on yz 125 is 53.94mm. Check ring gap per manual. If it is offered go with a B size since your bike is old you'll have a tighter fit.

Justin R on Sep 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The rings can go either way on that application.

I have a 2004 KTM 300exc and it’s says it’s a 71.95mm Is it correct and what else’s would I need to finish a fresh top end?
Ethan A on Jul 20, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I used this on a KTM 50cc, so I don know about your size. I would buy a $8.00 digital caliper from Harbor Freight to measure your piston. You probably only need a top end gasket kit to finish. I would also order a couple extra circlips because its easy to loose or ruin them.
