FAQs
Are these panels a direct fit for all KTM models?
No, this part number (716.41.22) is specific to certain KTM models. Please check your motorcycle's manual or our compatibility tool to confirm your bike year and model.
Do I need new hardware to install these?
In most cases, you can reuse your original OEM hardware. We recommend inspecting your existing bolts for stripped threads before installation.
How does DGP technology differ from standard plastic?
DGP (Durable Gloss Polypropylene) is a specialized blend that combines high-gloss durability with increased impact resistance, making it more fade-resistant than standard factory plastic.
Can I use stickers or graphics on these panels?
Yes, the smooth, glossy surface of the Polisport panels is excellent for applying graphic kits.
Does the orange color match perfectly?
The panels are manufactured to match the standard KTM orange. Note that if your existing bike plastics are heavily faded from sun exposure, there may be a visible difference in shade.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not align with mounting holes
Ensure the panel tabs are fully seated into the chassis mounts before attempting to thread the bolts.
Bolt holes feel too tight
Check that the original mounting grommets (bushings) are present in your bike's subframe; these are required for a proper, vibration-free fit.
Panel vibrates during engine idle
Verify that all mounting bolts are tightened to factory torque specifications and that no rubber washers were omitted during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Polisport Side Panels is designed to be straightforward. Simply remove your existing side panels by unscrewing the mounting bolts. Align the new Polisport panel, ensuring all tabs seat properly into the airbox or subframe mounts, and replace the mounting hardware.
Compatibility is critical; always cross-reference the part number 716.41.22 with your specific KTM year and engine displacement to ensure proper mounting points. To care for your panels, wash them with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers or pressure washers at extremely close range, as these can dull the protective finish over extended periods.
