UPDATE 2026: New Meteor piston with "oil-dot" coating on the piston skirt

The piston is still made by Meteor in Italy, but the design has been revised. The new feature is a dot-shaped "oil dot" coating on the piston skirt (guide area in the cylinder).

Holding oil instead of wiping it off: The dot structure acts like small pockets in which the oil film adheres more stably.
Less friction and more safety: As a sliding and solid lubricant layer, it provides support in the event of short-term oil film breakage and reduces the risk of jamming.
Smoother cold running: Coated piston skirts can reduce piston skipping and cold start noises and improve emergency running behavior.
Appearance changes with running time: It is normal for the coating on contact surfaces to wear off visibly in places; the decisive factor is a clean running appearance without seizure marks.
Practical advice: Do not grind or "smooth out". Run in cleanly and adjust the setup (mixture, jetting, ignition) correctly.

Video insights: Setup, tuning and riding practice

Practical tips (SC)

Match jetting to touring box or series pot; select spark plug according to spark plug pattern.
With SI24 and touring-oriented box, very early torque, quiet and suitable for long distances.
Use spacer kit for 60 mm stroke (187 cm³); realistic squeeze edge 0.8-1.2 mm.
Gear ratio: 23/68 or similarly proven; do not choose too short, use band.
*PX80: Extend cylinder base mount in engine housing to Ø 66-68 mm depending on cylinder base; use crankshaft from 125/150 cc models.

Note: The gear ratio recommendations refer to use with a BGM or Polini box. For other exhaust systems, please adjust the gear ratio accordingly (select shorter if necessary).

No. Plug-and-play. Just adjust the jetting and spark plug if necessary.
The cylinder rewards a revision of the intake and the transfer ports in the engine housing with a significant increase in performance. Connoisseurs also extend the transfer area in the area of the cylinder base. The BGM177 only has a thin sprue for the sealing surface there, which can be easily removed - this increases the inlet area and the supply to the overflow system. Milling the outlet is not necessary and is not recommended. With the standard ducting system, over 22 hp is possible at the rear wheel.
Compatibility at a glance

General: Suitable for all large-frame engines in the 125/150 cm³ class with three overcurrent channels (3-channel). The conversion from 2-channel to 3-channel took place depending on the model from around 1975-1977 - note the border chassis numbers.

PX80 (V8X1T): can be used with adaptations - extend cylinder base mount in engine housing to Ø 66 mm and use crankshaft from 125/150 models.
Tip: For vehicles built around 1975-1977, always check the chassis number thresholds, as the 2-/3-channel conversion varies depending on the model year.

Conclusion

The BGM PRO 177 is the healthy tuning basis for PX125/PX150 and LML 2-strokes: powerful in everyday use, relaxed on long distances, with a clean band for touring - and open for the next step up to 187 cm³.
