FAQs

What type of motorcycles is this chain tensioner pad compatible with?

This pad is designed with a universal fit for trials, enduro, and motocross motorcycles. However, minor variations may require slight adjustments for specific models.

Is this pad an upgrade over the stock OEM part?

Yes, it's designed as an exact replacement for OEM parts but made from durable materials and offers an enhanced, factory team aesthetic.

Do I need special tools to install this pad?

Standard motorcycle tools used for rear wheel and chain maintenance are typically sufficient for installation.

How often should I check or replace the chain tensioner pad?

It is recommended to inspect the pad regularly during chain maintenance and replace it if significant wear or damage is observed. This depends heavily on riding conditions and frequency.

Will this pad help me adjust my chain tension?

No, the pad itself does not provide adjustable chain tension. It serves to guide and support the chain. Chain tension must be adjusted via the motorcycle's swingarm adjusters.

What is the main benefit of using an Apico chain tensioner pad?

The main benefits are its durable construction for longevity, a direct OEM fit, and an improved aesthetic that gives your motorcycle a factory team look.

Troubleshooting

Pad does not fit correctly.

Verify the motorcycle model against known compatible types. Minor adjustments may be needed. Consult your motorcycle's service manual or a professional mechanic if significant modification is required.

Chain is too loose or too tight after installation.

Ensure the rear wheel is properly aligned and tightened. Adjust chain tension according to your motorcycle's service manual specifications. The pad itself does not provide adjustable tension.

Excessive noise from the chain area.

Check that the pad is securely mounted and not interfering with the chain or sprockets. Ensure the chain itself is properly tensioned and lubricated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the motorcycle is securely supported and the rear wheel is removed.
  2. Remove the old chain tensioner pad.
  3. Clean the mounting area thoroughly.
  4. Install the new Apico Trials Bike Chain Tensioner Pad, ensuring it aligns correctly with any mounting points or guides.

Compatibility:

Care:

Clean the tensioner pad regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Inspect the pad for wear and tear periodically and replace if necessary to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage to the chain or sprocket.
