Product Information

Full details

The Apico Radiator Cap (AT RAD CAP BU) is designed for off-road motorcycle riders using Gas Gas, Sherco, Scorpa, Jotagas, and TRS models from 2010-2023. It offers significantly easier removal and installation than standard OEM caps due to its 10mm hex head, a key benefit for maintenance in challenging conditions. The main caveat is its specific thread size and model year compatibility, requiring users to verify fitment. This cap is precision CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum for durability and features an integrated O-ring seal for a secure fit.

FAQs

What motorcycle models is this radiator cap compatible with?

This Apico radiator cap is designed for Gas Gas, Sherco, Scorpa, Jotagas, and TRS models manufactured between 2010 and 2023.

What is the thread size of this radiator cap?

The cap has an M14 x 1.5 thread size.

Why is the 10mm hex head beneficial?

The 10mm hex head allows for easier removal and installation using a standard spanner or socket, unlike many OEM caps that require a difficult-to-use Allen key.

What material is the radiator cap made from?

It is CNC machined from aerospace-grade 6061 T6 aluminum.

Does the cap come with a seal?

Yes, it includes an O-ring seal for a secure fit.

How should I care for this radiator cap?

Periodically check the O-ring, clean with a damp cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.

Can I use this cap on a different brand of motorcycle?

This cap is specifically designed for the listed brands and model years. Using it on incompatible models may result in leaks or improper fitment.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to thread onto the radiator neck.

Ensure the radiator neck is clean and free of debris. Check that you are using the correct cap for your model and that the threads align properly. Do not force the cap.

Minor coolant leak around the cap seal.

Inspect the O-ring for damage or wear. Ensure the cap is tightened correctly and the radiator neck surface is clean. If the O-ring is compromised, replace it.

Hex head feels stripped or damaged.

Use a new, correctly sized 10mm spanner or socket for removal/installation. Avoid using worn tools. If the head is already damaged, carefully use pliers to grip and turn the cap, and consider replacing the cap.
