Hi Guys,

Does anyone have good experience with Matika pistons under race conditions? Am concerned about fitting them to a race bike in case they crack or peg comes out etc. Am favouring OEM Kawasaki pistons but they are £75 for each piston only....

Are there any other good quality non OEM pistons available (without having to modify heads or barrels) such as Pro-X

Cheers

Gavin

I would ask MJ about this one. Here's a thread a liitle while ago, which would suggest he's experienced them before.

There are some genuine OEM pistons for sale at the moment on here, alternatively, you could go for single ring TZ pistons and you should be able to pick them up at the right price on eBay.

I would imagine your Matika ones will do the job though, but I have no first hand experience of them.
