FAQs

Is this kick start a direct replacement for my stock KTM SX50?

Yes, the Apico Kick Start is designed as an exact replacement for the OEM kick start levers on KTM SX50 models from 2009-2023 and Husqvarna TC50 models from 2017-2023.

What material is the Apico Kick Start made from?

It is manufactured from forged 7075 aero-grade aluminum for the kick arm and features an S45C steel base for secure mounting.

How do I clean the Apico Kick Start?

Clean the kick start with a soft cloth and mild cleaning solutions. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the anodized finish.

Does the color match the original factory colors?

The kick starts are anodized to specific manufacturer colors, aiming to replicate a factory team look. The specific black color is for the listed KTM and Husqvarna models.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need an Allen key (hex wrench) to secure the kick start to its base, and potentially a socket or wrench to remove the original lever if it's different.

Can I use this kick start on other motorcycle brands?

This specific model is designed for GAS GAS MC50, KTM SX50, and HUSQVARNA TC50. Apico offers kick starts for a wide range of other off-road bikes, but you would need to check compatibility for other brands or models.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official warranty information for the specific terms and duration of the warranty for this Apico product.

Troubleshooting

Kick start lever feels loose or wobbly.

Check and tighten the Allen key bolt that secures the kick start to the S45C steel base. Ensure the steel base is properly seated on the engine spline.

Kick start lever does not engage the engine spline.

Verify that the S45C steel base is correctly aligned and fully seated onto the engine's spline shaft. Ensure no debris is obstructing the spline.

Difficulty in kicking the engine over.

Confirm the kick start lever is the correct model for your bike. Ensure the internal engine components related to starting are functioning correctly, as this lever is an external component.

Anodized finish appears scratched or faded.

This is typically cosmetic. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials during cleaning. Light scratches may occur with normal use in off-road conditions.
