KB Performance Piston Kit for XL1200 - 3.498 inch +0.010 inch, 9.0:1 Compression Ratio, Part KB295.010
Upgrade your XL1200 engine with the KB Performance Piston Kit, designed for high durability and optimal performance. Crafted from high-strength T-5 heat-treated 390 hypereutectic aluminum alloy, these pistons are engineered to provide a tighter fit and extended piston and ring life. The diamond-machined pistons are held to precise tolerances of less than half a thousandth of an inch and are balanced to within one gram, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing vibrations. Each kit includes two pistons, piston pins, spiral-lock pin clips, and Hastings moly rings (rings sold separately), offering a comprehensive upgrade for your engine.
KB pistons are known for their ability to be installed tighter than standard options, which results in less piston rock and a better ring seal. This contributes to improved compression, efficiency, and power output. Due to the design and thermal conductivity of KB pistons, special attention must be paid to the top ring end gap during installation. The included instructions provide guidance to ensure proper ring installation and optimal performance. Proper piston clearance is critical for durability and performance, so following the manufacturer's instructions is essential.
Designed specifically for the XL1200 with a 3.498-inch bore and +0.010-inch oversize, this kit offers a compression ratio of 9.0:1, making it suitable for a variety of performance applications. Whether you're rebuilding or upgrading your engine, the KB295.010 piston kit offers the quality and precision needed for reliable and enhanced engine operation. Trust KB PERFORMANCE for high-quality components that help you get the most out of your motorcycle.
