Troubleshooting

Fork guards do not fit correctly.

Verify that you have the correct model year (2004-2012 KTM SX85) and that the guards are aligned properly with the fork legs. Ensure no obstructions are present.

Difficulty during installation.

Double-check that all previous hardware has been removed. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for fork component removal/installation if needed. Ensure you are using the correct mounting points.

Plastic appears to be fading or becoming brittle.

While Acerbis plastics are durable, prolonged exposure to UV rays can degrade materials over time. Ensure proper cleaning and consider UV protectant sprays if storing the bike outdoors frequently.
