FAQs
What material is the Apico Fuel Cap made from?
The Apico Fuel Cap is fully CNC machined from 6061 T6 aluminum.
Does this fuel cap come with a breather hose?
Yes, it comes supplied with the breather pipe including a matching anodised cap and a one-way valve.
What is the benefit of the 1/4 turn operation?
The 1/4 turn operation allows for very quick opening and closing of the fuel cap, which is especially useful during refueling stops.
Will this fuel cap fit my 2015 KTM 250 EXC?
Yes, this fuel cap is compatible with KTM EXC/EXC-F models from 2008-2023, so it should fit your 2015 KTM 250 EXC.
How should I clean the fuel cap?
Clean the fuel cap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodized finish.
Is the breather valve replaceable?
The fuel cap is supplied with an integrated one-way valve as part of the breather pipe assembly. Replacement of the valve itself is not typically intended; the entire breather unit would need replacement if faulty.
Can I use this on a non-KTM or Husqvarna brand motorcycle?
No, this fuel cap is specifically designed and manufactured for fitment on the listed KTM and Husqvarna models and their specified year ranges.
Troubleshooting
Cap is difficult to turn or does not engage
Ensure the fuel filler neck is clean and free of debris. Check that the cap is properly aligned before attempting to turn. Verify that you have the correct model year fitment.
Fuel cap leaks after installation
Confirm the rubber seal on the inside of the cap is properly seated and free from damage. Ensure the cap is fully closed (all the way to the stop).
Breather pipe is not functioning correctly
Check the breather pipe and the one-way valve for any blockages. Ensure the pipe is securely attached to the cap and the fuel tank.
Anodized finish appears faded or scratched
This can occur with prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasion. Clean gently with a soft cloth. While the finish is durable, it is not impervious to damage.
