Product Information

Full details

The Apico Oil Pump Cover is an essential upgrade for owners of KTM, Husqvarna, and Gas Gas off-road motorcycles who want to enhance the durability and aesthetics of their engine bay. Designed to protect the oil pump and gear sensor switch, this CNC-machined component offers a robust factory-style look that stands up to the rigors of competitive riding, though it requires careful gasket installation to ensure a leak-free seal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cover come with a new gasket?

Yes, the product is supplied with a new gasket required for a proper, leak-free installation.

Will this fit my 2024 KTM model?

This specific part number (OPC KTM 3 OR) is listed for models through 2022/2023. Check your specific bike's manual or our compatibility chart before purchasing.

Do I need to drain my oil to install this?

Yes, you must drain the engine oil to prevent leakage during the replacement process.

Is special tooling required?

No, standard metric sockets and a torque wrench are all that is required for installation.

Does the anodized finish peel off?

The anodizing is chemically bonded to the aluminum and will not peel like paint, though it may eventually fade due to high heat and UV exposure.

Troubleshooting

Oil leaking from the cover seam after installation

Ensure the mating surface was cleaned of all old gasket material and the bolts were tightened in a cross-pattern to even the pressure.

Difficulty threading bolts into the casing

Do not force the bolts; clean the threads in the engine casing with a thread chaser to remove debris before attempting re-installation.
