Troubleshooting

Chain seems too loose or too tight after installation

Double-check that the pad is correctly seated and aligned on the swingarm. Revisit your motorcycle's service manual for the precise chain tension adjustment procedure, as this pad is only one component of the tensioning system.

Pad does not fit properly

Verify that your motorcycle is a trials model and that the pad's mounting points match your swingarm. If issues persist, consult your motorcycle's service manual or Apico's technical support for specific fitment details.

Premature wear on the pad

Ensure the chain is properly aligned and that there are no obstructions causing excessive friction. Clean the pad and surrounding areas regularly. Check for any damage to the chain or sprockets.
