The Apico Magnetic Sump Bolt is an essential maintenance upgrade for Honda motocross and enduro riders looking to extend the life of their engine by capturing internal metal debris. Designed for those who perform their own routine servicing, this precision-engineered bolt uses a high-strength magnet to trap metallic particles suspended in the engine oil that would otherwise circulate through moving parts. While it provides excellent peace of mind for engine health, it is important to remember that this component requires consistent manual inspection and cleaning during every oil change to remain effective.

No, it is specifically engineered for select Honda CRF models. Always verify your specific model year and displacement.
You should wipe the magnet clean every time you perform an engine or transmission oil change.
It helps reduce wear by removing metallic debris, but it cannot prevent damage caused by lack of lubrication or severe mechanical failure.
It is highly recommended to use a new crush washer during every oil change to ensure a proper, leak-free seal.
A small amount of fine 'fuzz' is normal, but large, visible metal flakes suggest significant internal wear requiring mechanical inspection.
Back the bolt out and inspect the threads for debris. Always hand-start the bolt to ensure it is properly aligned before using a wrench.
Check that the crush washer is correctly seated and has not been over-tightened or damaged. Replace the washer if it is flattened or deformed.
Installation of the Apico Magnetic Sump Bolt is identical to replacing a standard factory bolt. Ensure the engine is cool, place an oil catch pan beneath the drain, and remove the original bolt. Carefully thread the Apico bolt in by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.
Compatibility is restricted to specific Honda CRF models; verify your engine case threading before installation. For care, always inspect the magnet for cracks or damage during your oil change interval and ensure the washer is in good condition to maintain a leak-free seal.
