FAQs
What motorcycles are compatible with this fork ring set?
This set is compatible with KTM, Husqvarna, Sherco, and Gas Gas motorcycles featuring WP Forks from the model years 2009 through 2023.
What is the main purpose of these protection rings?
Their primary function is to act as a barrier against dirt, mud, and water, preventing them from reaching and damaging the fork seals and stanchions, thereby extending fork life.
Are these rings difficult to install?
No, the installation is designed to be simple and typically does not require special tools. They usually slide or press into place on the fork stanchions.
What material are the protection rings made from?
They are constructed from durable plastic.
Do these rings protect against impacts?
These rings are primarily designed for debris protection. They offer minimal protection against direct impacts.
How often should I clean the protection rings?
It is recommended to clean the rings whenever you wash your motorcycle to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
Can I use a pressure washer on these rings?
While you can rinse them, avoid using high-pressure jets directly on the rings and seals, as this can potentially force contaminants past the protection.
Troubleshooting
Rings do not fit snugly
Ensure you have the correct model and year for your motorcycle's WP Forks. Double-check that the fork surface is clean and free of obstructions. If the fit is still loose, the rings may be damaged or incompatible.
Increased dirt ingress after installation
Verify that the rings are installed correctly and completely sealing the area. Check for any gaps or damage to the rings themselves. Clean the fork stanchions and seals thoroughly and reinstall the rings, ensuring a proper fit.
Rings appear to be deteriorating quickly
This may be due to excessive UV exposure or harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean the rings gently with mild soap and water. If deterioration continues, consider replacing them with new ones and storing the bike away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This Apico Protection Ring Set is specifically designed for WP Forks found on KTM, Husqvarna, Sherco, and Gas Gas motorcycles manufactured between 2009 and 2023. Please verify your motorcycle's fork model and year before purchasing.
Setup:
Installation is straightforward and typically requires no specialized tools. The rings are designed to fit snugly onto the fork stanchions, usually above the lower triple clamp and below the dust seal. Ensure the fork is clean before installation. Gently press or slide the rings into their intended position. Consult your motorcycle's service manual for specific fork disassembly if required for optimal placement.
Care:
To maintain the effectiveness of the protection rings, clean them regularly during your motorcycle's wash routine. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the seals or rings, as this can force contaminants past the protection. Inspect the rings periodically for any signs of wear or damage, and replace them if compromised.
