Product Information
Full details
The Apico Launch Control in Orange is designed for motocross riders on KTM/Husqvarna/Yamaha SX/TC50, SX/TC65, and YZ65 models. It provides a crucial advantage by keeping the front end down off the start gate and through the initial corners, leading to faster holeshots. A potential consideration is the need for precise fork fitment.

Troubleshooting
Launch control does not lock securely
Ensure the 4-point mounting is correctly aligned and tightened according to the instructions. Check for any obstructions or damage to the locking mechanism.
Difficulty installing the unit
Verify that your motorcycle model and year are compatible. Carefully use the provided fork cutting template and follow the installation guide precisely. Seek assistance from a qualified mechanic if needed.
Front end still lifts too much
Confirm the launch control is fully engaged. Check that the fork springs are not excessively soft for the rider's weight, as the launch control assists, but does not eliminate, front-end lift.
