FAQs
What size is the thread on this sump bolt?
The thread size is M10 X 16mm X 1.25.
Which Yamaha models is this bolt compatible with?
It is designed for Yamaha YZ125 (2005-2026), YZ250 (2001-2026), and YZF450 (2003-2026). It is also suitable for most 2-stroke and 4-stroke Motocross and Enduro bikes, but always confirm thread dimensions.
How often should I clean the magnetic sump bolt?
It is recommended to clean the magnetic sump bolt during every oil change to ensure optimal performance.
What material is the bolt made from?
The bolt is CNC machined from high-grade 6061 T6 aluminum.
Will this bolt fit my non-Yamaha dirt bike?
While it's designed for specific Yamaha models, it may fit other Motocross and Enduro bikes if they use the same M10 X 16mm X 1.25 thread specification. Always verify your bike's requirements.
What is the purpose of the magnet?
The magnet attracts and captures small ferrous metal particles from the engine oil, helping to prevent them from circulating and causing damage to internal engine components.
Does the blue color wear off?
The blue color is achieved through an anodizing process, which provides a durable and corrosion-resistant finish under normal operating conditions.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not seem to fit.
Verify the thread size (M10 X 16mm X 1.25) and pitch against your motorcycle's original sump bolt. Ensure you are not cross-threading during installation.
Bolt leaks oil.
Ensure the bolt is tightened to the correct torque specification. Check if the mating surface on the engine case is clean and undamaged. Replace the crush washer if your motorcycle uses one and it appears worn.
No metallic debris found on the magnet.
This is often a positive sign, indicating minimal internal engine wear. However, continue to check during future oil changes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This specific bolt has the thread specification M10 X 16mm X 1.25. It is confirmed to fit Yamaha YZ125 (2005-2026), YZ250 (2001-2026), and YZF450 (2003-2026). While suitable for most 2-stroke and 4-stroke Motocross and Enduro bikes, always verify your motorcycle's original sump drain bolt thread size and pitch before purchasing to ensure a correct fit.
Setup: Installation is identical to a standard sump drain bolt.
- Ensure the engine is cool.
- Drain the engine oil completely.
- Carefully remove the old sump drain bolt.
- Clean the drain plug area.
- Apply a small amount of appropriate thread sealant (if recommended by your bike manufacturer) or use a new crush washer if applicable.
- Screw in the Apico Magnetic Sump Bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading.
- Tighten the bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque using a torque wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Refill the engine with the correct type and amount of oil.
Care: The magnetic sump bolt requires minimal care but should be inspected and cleaned during every oil change. Simply remove the bolt, wipe the magnet clean of any metallic debris with a lint-free cloth, and reinstall it.
