FAQs

What Honda models is this throttle compatible with?

This Apico Throttle (THROTTLE 13) is compatible with Honda CRF250R (2018-2023), CRF450R (2017-2023), CRF 250/450RX (2017-2023), and CRF450X/L/RL (2019-2023).

What is the main advantage of this throttle?

The main advantage is its significantly smoother action due to the in-built bearing and anti-friction sleeve, which also helps prevent dirt ingress.

Does this throttle require special maintenance?

No, its design with sealed components means it requires very little maintenance. Regular cleaning of the throttle tube is generally not necessary.

Will this throttle improve my lap times?

While not a direct performance upgrade like an engine modification, the improved control and feel can help riders utilize their motorcycle's power more effectively, potentially leading to better performance.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is comparable to replacing a stock throttle tube. It requires basic mechanical skills and tools. Referencing your motorcycle's service manual is recommended for precise steps.

Can I use this with aftermarket throttle cables?

Compatibility with aftermarket cables can vary. It is generally designed to work with OEM cables, but check specifications if using non-OEM cables.

Troubleshooting

Throttle feels stiff or notchy

Ensure throttle cables are correctly routed and not pinched. Verify that no dirt has entered the system despite its design. Check for any external obstructions.

Throttle does not return to idle

Check for cable binding or kinks. Ensure the throttle tube is not rubbing against any adjacent components. Re-adjust throttle cable free play.

Throttle grip is loose

Confirm all mounting hardware is securely tightened. Ensure the throttle tube is properly seated on the handlebar.
