Setup, Compatibility & Care
This sprocket is designed as a direct replacement for the following models:
- GAS GAS MC65 (2021-2024)
- KTM SX65 (1998-2024)
- Husqvarna TC65 (2017-2024)
Installation
- Secure the bike on a stand to lift the rear wheel.
- Remove the axle nut and slide the axle out to drop the rear wheel.
- Unbolt the existing sprocket from the hub.
- Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly before installing the Apico sprocket.
- Torque the sprocket bolts to the manufacturer's specified setting in a star pattern.
- Check and adjust chain tension once the wheel is back on the bike.
Care
Keep the drivetrain lubricated with appropriate chain wax or oil. Regularly inspect the sprocket teeth for signs of irregular wear. If you notice a 'shark fin' shape developing on the teeth, the sprocket and chain should be replaced as a set.
