FAQ

Will this kit fit my 2024 ATV engine?

Yes, the Vertex Top End Piston Kit is designed for engines that use a 48.5 mm cylinder bore and a standard compression ratio. Verify your engine’s bore size in the service manual to confirm compatibility.

Do I need to replace rings when installing this kit?

While the kit includes pistons only, we recommend replacing piston rings simultaneously to ensure optimal sealing and longevity, especially if the engine has high mileage.

Is any special break‑in procedure required?

After installation, run the engine at moderate RPMs for the first 10‑15 minutes to allow the pistons to seat properly. Avoid full‑throttle operation during this initial break‑in period.

Can I use this kit for a performance build with a higher compression ratio?

The kit is calibrated for a standard compression ratio. For higher compression builds, you may need custom pistons or additional modifications to achieve the desired ratio.
