Kawasaki OEM 0.5 Oversize Piston 13029-7010
The Kawasaki 13029-7010 Engine Piston is a genuine OEM 0.5 oversize service piston used during engine rebuilding on select Kawasaki FR, FS, FT and FX V-Twin engines.
Kawasaki identifies part number 13029-7010 as PISTON-ENGINE L,0.5. It is an oversize service component and should not be confused with the standard-size piston used in the same engine families.
Important: 13029-7010 is an oversize service piston.
Do not order this piston as a standard replacement unless the engine has been properly inspected and prepared for the corresponding oversize piston configuration.
Verify the complete Kawasaki engine model and specification before ordering.
Kawasaki lists both standard-size and oversize piston components in applicable engine parts diagrams.

13029-7010 Is an Oversize Piston
Kawasaki piston and crankshaft diagrams clearly distinguish 13029-7010 from the standard engine piston.
For example, applicable engine diagrams list:
- 13001-7027 – standard engine piston
- 13008-series – standard piston ring set
- 13029-7010 – PISTON-ENGINE L,0.5
- 13025-7009 – RING-SET-PISTON L,0.5
This makes 13029-7010 an engine-rebuilding service component, not simply an alternate version of the standard piston.
Matching Kawasaki Ring Set 13025-7009
Kawasaki parts diagrams pair 13029-7010 PISTON-ENGINE L,0.5 with 13025-7009 RING-SET-PISTON L,0.5.
If the engine requires the 13029-7010 oversize piston, verify whether matching oversize ring set 13025-7009 is also required for the repair.
Piston rings are sold separately. Do not assume that ring set 13025-7009, piston pin, snap rings or connecting rod are included with piston 13029-7010.

These examples do not mean every engine within those families requires an oversize piston.
Standard vs. Oversize Kawasaki Piston
On many applicable engines, 13001-7027 is listed as the standard piston, while 13029-7010 is separately identified as the L,0.5 service piston.
Which piston is correct depends on the actual condition, measurements and machining of the engine being rebuilt.
Do not choose the oversize piston simply because the original piston or rings are worn.
When Is an Oversize Piston Used?
Oversize pistons are intended for certain engine-rebuilding procedures where cylinder condition and machining require a corresponding oversize service piston.
Cylinder inspection, machining limits, piston clearance and other rebuild specifications should be determined using the applicable Kawasaki service manual.
Do not machine or select piston size based only on the product listing. Follow Kawasaki's engine-specific service specifications.
