Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this nut compatible with all Kawasaki KX models?

No, it is specifically designed for KXF 250 and 450 models manufactured between 2004 and 2023.

Does it come with a new washer?

The product is the steering stem nut. Always reuse or replace your OEM washer as indicated by your motorcycle's service manual.

Can I use an impact gun to install this?

It is highly recommended to use a hand-operated torque wrench to avoid over-tightening or stripping the aluminum threads.

Does the red color fade over time?

While anodised finishes are durable, extreme UV exposure and harsh chemicals can cause minor fading over several seasons.

Is this lighter than the stock nut?

Yes, being constructed from high-grade aluminum, it offers a noticeable weight saving compared to the factory steel component.

Troubleshooting

Nut feels tight when threading on by hand

Back the nut off immediately and clean the steering stem threads with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Never force the nut.

Anodised finish is dulling

Avoid using acidic wheel cleaners or harsh pressure washer detergents, which can strip anodised coatings over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant weight reduction over factory steel parts
  • High-quality anodised finish prevents corrosion
  • Easy installation for standard maintenance workflows
  • Professional, aesthetic factory-team appearance

Cons

  • Specific fitment requires verifying your model and year range
  • Requires careful torquing to avoid stripping threads
  • Limited to specific Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your motorcycle is securely propped on a stand with the front wheel off the ground. Remove the existing steering stem nut using the appropriate socket size. Clean the steering stem threads of any old grease or debris before threading on the Apico component by hand to ensure it is not cross-threaded. Tighten to the manufacturer-specified torque for your specific bike model.

Compatibility

  • Honda: CR125 and CR250 (1983-2000)
  • Kawasaki: KXF 250 and 450 (2004-2023)
  • Suzuki: RMZ 250 (2004-2006)

Care

Clean with mild soap and water only. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers or abrasive wire brushes on the anodised finish, as these can dull the color or scratch the protective coating.
