Product Information

Full details

The Apico Oil Filter Cover is designed for competitive motocross and enduro riders who want to improve their Yamaha YZF450 or WRF450 engine's oil circulation while adding a professional aesthetic. It offers a distinct performance benefit by enhancing oil flow rates compared to stock components, though riders should note that installation requires careful handling of the original O-ring and engine seals to ensure a leak-free fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cover come with a new gasket?

No, this product does not include a new gasket or O-ring; you should reuse your existing one or purchase a new OEM replacement.

Is this cover compatible with the 2022 YZF450?

No, this model is specifically engineered for the YZF450 2023-2025 and WRF450 2024-2025 frame and engine geometry.

Will the anodised finish fade over time?

The anodised coating is resistant to wear, though it may eventually show signs of fading if exposed to harsh chemical cleaners or extreme weathering over several seasons.

Does it improve horsepower?

While it optimizes oil flow, it is primarily a reliability and aesthetic upgrade rather than a direct power-adding component.

How do I clean the cover?

Clean the exterior with mild soap and water. Avoid using aggressive wire brushes that could scratch the anodised surface.

Troubleshooting

Oil leaking after installation

Verify that the original O-ring is correctly seated in the groove and not pinched or damaged during installation.

Bolt holes do not line up

Ensure you are installing it on a supported model (YZF450 2023-2025 or WRF450 2024-2025) and that the cover is not rotated 180 degrees.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight aero-grade aluminium construction
  • Improved oil flow and circulation efficiency
  • High-quality anodised finish for long-term durability
  • Direct fit for specific Yamaha models
  • Adds a professional custom aesthetic to the engine

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to avoid seal damage
  • No included replacement gasket or O-ring
  • Limited compatibility beyond specific Yamaha YZF/WRF models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This cover is designed as a direct replacement for the Yamaha YZF450 (2023-2025) and WRF450 (2024-2025). To install, remove the three mounting bolts from your existing filter cover and carefully pull it off. Clean the mating surface on the engine casing of any residual oil or dirt. Inspect your original rubber O-ring; if it is stretched or flattened, replace it before installing the Apico cover to prevent leaks. Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the O-ring, place the Apico cover over the filter, and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the aluminium threads or pinch the seal.
