Setup, Compatibility & Care
This sprocket is designed as a direct replacement for various Honda models, including the CRF250R, CRF450R, CR125, CR250, CR500, and several XR/CRF-X variants.
Installation Steps:
- Secure the motorcycle on a stand and remove the rear wheel.
- Unscrew the existing sprocket nuts and remove the old unit.
- Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly before installing the new Apico sprocket.
- Ensure the sprocket is seated evenly and tighten the nuts in a star pattern to the manufacturer-specified torque settings.
- Verify that your drive chain is properly tensioned and lubricated for the new sprocket profile.
Maintenance: While the Cataphoresis coating is corrosion-resistant, regular cleaning after rides and the application of high-quality chain lubricant is essential to prevent rust and extend the lifespan of both the chain and sprocket teeth.
