FAQs
Will these fit a Honda CRF150R?
No, the RAB-01 RED model is specifically designed for the full-size CR/CRF 125cc-450cc chassis range listed in the compatibility guide.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, standard metric wrenches and sockets for your rear axle are all that is required for installation.
Does the red color fade?
The blocks feature an anodized finish, which is highly resistant to fading, though exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme abrasive cleaning may affect the vibrancy over time.
Why is precision alignment important?
Proper alignment prevents the chain from pulling sideways on the sprockets, which reduces friction, noise, and potential mechanical failure of the drive system.
Can I use these with stock adjusters?
Yes, these are designed to act as a direct replacement for the stock axle blocks and work seamlessly with your existing adjustment hardware.
Troubleshooting
Axle blocks do not slide into swingarm smoothly.
Ensure the swingarm slots are free of debris, dirt, or bent metal tabs from previous impacts.
Markings are difficult to see.
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and, if necessary, use a white paint pen to highlight the laser-etched lines for better visibility.
