To make the Gilera Runner RST 50 SP piston last longer, ensure proper maintenance by:
1. Using the correct type of spark plug with the recommended electrode gap. 2. Avoiding engine flooding and following correct starting procedures. 3. Keeping the intake joint sealed and in good condition. 4. Maintaining the battery and electrical system to avoid overcharging. 5. Using fresh, standard-quality fuel.
These actions help prevent engine issues that can lead to premature piston wear or damage.
