FAQs

Is this chain guide compatible with all KTM models?

No, it is compatible with specific models only. Please verify your specific bike year and model against the MPN 716.09.31 before purchase.

Does this replace the factory stock guide?

Yes, this serves as a high-quality, durable replacement for the stock chain guide provided by the manufacturer.

How do I know when to replace the chain guide?

Replace the guide if the plastic material shows deep gouges, thinning of the base, or if the chain alignment appears loose despite proper tension.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, you will need a standard socket set or hex key set depending on the fasteners used on your motorcycle's swingarm.

Does this guide increase chain friction?

No, the guide is designed to maintain proper alignment while minimizing drag through its smooth, wear-resistant polymer surface.

Troubleshooting

Excessive noise from the chain area

Check that the guide is properly aligned and ensure that the chain is lubricated and tensioned according to the owner's manual.

Bolt hardware comes loose during use

Apply a small amount of thread-locking compound (medium strength) to the bolts during installation to prevent vibration-induced loosening.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your motorcycle is securely placed on a stand to relieve tension from the rear wheel. Remove the original chain guide and clear away any accumulated grime or debris from the swingarm mounting surface. Align the Polisport 716.09.31 guide with the factory bolt holes and secure it using the provided or original hardware, ensuring that the bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.

Compatibility

This part is designed for specific KTM and Aprilia motorcycle models. Always cross-reference the manufacturer part number 716.09.31 with your bike's specific year and displacement to confirm a proper fit.

Care

To maximize the life of the chain guide, perform the following maintenance:

  1. Clean the guide periodically using mild detergent and water during a standard bike wash.
  2. Inspect the wear surface after every 10–15 hours of heavy off-road use.
  3. If deep grooves appear in the plastic, replace the unit to ensure continued protection of the swingarm.
