Most trials motorcycles use pistons available in size codes A, B, C, and sometimes D). These codes represent very small differences in piston diameter – usually only a few hundredths of a millimeter – to match the gradual wear of the cylinder.

From new – your cylinder is stamped with a code (e.g. “A”). The factory installs the matching piston (A).

1. first replacement – you can usually fit another piston of the same code if cylinder wear is minimal
2. next replacement – once the cylinder has worn further, you must move to the next size code (e.g. A → B → C)
3. when all codes are used – the cylinder must be re-plated or replaced to restore proper clearances

Example progression:

• cylinder stamped A → First piston: A → Second piston: B
• cylinder stamped B → First piston: B → Second piston: C
• and so on…

⚠️ Important: Always check the size code stamped on your cylinder before ordering. Using the wrong piston size can cause poor performance, excessive wear, or engine damage.
