FAQs
Is this pedal compatible with my Suzuki RMZ or RMX model?
No, this specific forged gear pedal (GPF450) is designed exclusively for Suzuki RM80 and RM85 models from 1989 to 2022.
Does this pedal come with all necessary hardware for installation?
The pedal is designed as an exact replacement to OEM parts. It features quality hardware. You may need to reuse some original hardware depending on your specific model year, or use the included hardware as per installation instructions.
How does the forged aluminum compare to standard aluminum pedals?
Forged aluminum undergoes a process that aligns the metal's grain structure, making it significantly stronger and more durable than cast or standard aluminum, thus more resistant to bending and breaking.
Can I paint or coat the pedal to a different color?
While modification is possible, painting or coating may affect the natural satin finish and potentially compromise the material's integrity or grip surface. It is generally recommended to use the pedal as intended with its natural finish.
What is the warranty period for this gear pedal?
Please refer to the retailer or Apico's official warranty policy for details on the warranty period and coverage for this product.
How do I clean the knurled tips for maximum grip?
Use a stiff brush with a degreaser or a dedicated parts cleaner to scrub away mud, dirt, and oil. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before riding.
Troubleshooting
Gear changes feel stiff or difficult.
Ensure the pedal is properly lubricated at the pivot point and that all mounting hardware is correctly tightened, not overtightened, which can cause binding.
Pedal does not return to its original position after shifting.
Check the spring mechanism for damage or obstruction. Ensure no cables or other components are interfering with the pedal's return action.
Knurled tip grip feels reduced.
Clean the knurled tip thoroughly with a degreaser to remove mud, oil, or residue that may be compromising grip.
