Vertex Top End Piston Kit, 52.44 mm for Kawasaki and Suzuki (VTK23614A)

The Vertex VTK23614A Top End Piston Kit is designed as a dependable OE replacement solution for select Kawasaki and Suzuki applications. This complete top-end assembly includes the piston, piston rings, wrist pin, circlips, top-end gaskets, and wrist pin bearing, providing the essential components needed for a thorough piston replacement service. Its application-specific design supports proper fitment and reliable engine performance when restoring the top end.
The piston is manufactured from gravity-cast aluminum alloy with an 18% silicone content, offering a balanced combination of strength, durability, and controlled expansion characteristics. Unlike a forged piston, this cast OE replacement piston is engineered for dependable service in compatible applications. A T-5 heat-treatment cycle hardens and tempers the piston to help improve structural integrity and long-term durability under demanding operating conditions.
The piston skirt features a high-tech molybdenum disulfide coating that helps reduce friction during initial operation. This coating supports a faster break-in period while helping promote increased piston life and smooth movement within the cylinder. The 52.44 mm piston size is suited to the specified Kawasaki and Suzuki applications, making the Vertex VTK23614A kit a practical choice for engine maintenance, repair, or top-end rebuilding.
For installation, verify vehicle compatibility and follow the manufacturer’s service procedures, including proper cleaning, inspection, measurement, ring installation, gasket replacement, and break-in practices. The Vertex brand is recognized for application-focused engine components, and this complete kit helps simplify the replacement process by supplying the primary parts required for a professional top-end service.
