FAQs
Is this cover compatible with the 2018 KTM SX85?
No, this specific part is designed exclusively for the 2013-2017 KTM SX85 model range.
Does this package include the bolts required for installation?
No, the package includes the airbox cover itself; you should reuse your existing factory bolts.
What is DGP technology?
DGP (Durable Gloss Polypropylene) is a proprietary Polisport material technology that combines high impact resistance with a long-lasting, glossy finish.
Can I use this for enduro riding?
Yes, the robust nature of the DGP plastic makes it suitable for both motocross and enduro conditions where protection from trail debris is necessary.
Will the color fade after several months in the sun?
The material is specifically treated to resist UV radiation, helping it maintain its factory color much longer than standard plastic components.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not sit flush against the airbox.
Check for debris or dirt trapped in the mounting groove and ensure all tabs are properly aligned before tightening bolts.
Bolt holes do not line up correctly.
Verify that you are installing the cover on the correct model year (KTM SX85 2013-2017) and confirm that the airbox itself has not been warped from previous heat exposure or impacts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Polisport Air Box Cover is straightforward. First, remove the existing airbox cover by unfastening the factory bolts. Clean the mounting area thoroughly to ensure there is no trapped dirt that could compromise the seal. Align the Polisport cover with the existing tabs on the airbox and secure it using your original hardware. Do not overtighten the bolts, as this may stress the mounting points. For long-term care, clean the cover using mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, which may degrade the high-gloss DGP finish over time.
