Description
Piston 77cc Stage6 moped
Piston 50mm 77cc Stage6 Streetrace Minarelli AM6 / Derbi, replacement piston for Stage6 Streetrace cylinders. This replacement piston is identical to that of the Streetrace kits.
When to Replace the piston
Even the highest quality parts need to be replaced from time to time; if the cylinder starts to lose power, you may need to replace a few parts, and then there's the dreaded piston seizure. It is best to carry out regular checks and replace the piston rings every 5,000 kilometers.
There is no exact time when the piston should be replaced, as this depends on many factors, such as :
- Usage / riding style
- Setup / tuning level
- Carburetor settings
- Quality of the engine oil
Note: Always replace the cylinder gaskets as well!

Stage6 Streetrace
As the name suggests, the Streetrace series was developed for sporty street use. The Stage6 series includes cylinders and exhausts that deliver relatively high performance, but still function reliably in everyday use.
The Stage6 Streetrace series feature the optimum balance between performance and durability to offer scooter and supermoto riders a high level of riding enjoyment even in everyday use.
When to replace the piston?
To find out when the piston on your motorcycle, scooter or moped needs to be replaced, it's best to check your bike's manual. You can also keep an eye out for certain symptoms such as loss of compression, loss of power or oil consumption (only for a four-stroke piston).
Extending Piston life
To extend the life of the piston and reduce cylinder wear, it is recommended that you replace the piston rings on an alternating basis. This method maximizes piston life and improves engine performance.
It is important that you replace cylinder gaskets and piston circlips each time you disassemble the cylinder and piston. Failure to do so can result in oil leaks and engine damage.
