Product Information
Full details
The Apico Rear Axle Blocks are precision-engineered components designed for motocross and enduro riders who demand consistent chain tension and wheel alignment accuracy. These blocks replace stock adjusters with high-strength, CNC-machined parts that resist corrosion, though users should note that installation requires a complete removal of the rear wheel axle and careful tension calibration to ensure the chain remains within manufacturer specifications.

FAQs
Will these fit all motorcycle brands?
No, these are model-specific. Please check compatibility for the RAB-19 RED part number.
Do I need special tools to install these?
Standard motorcycle tools including socket wrenches and a torque wrench are required to remove and replace your rear axle.
Can the red finish fade?
While anodized finishes are durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals may cause slight fading over time.
Do I need to grease the blocks?
It is recommended to apply a very light coating of anti-seize or waterproof grease to the threads of the adjustment bolts to prevent binding.
Are these blocks lighter than stock?
They are designed primarily for strength and accuracy; weight savings will vary depending on your specific OEM stock parts.
Troubleshooting
Axle block will not slide into the swingarm slot.
Clean the swingarm slot thoroughly with a wire brush to remove debris or baked-on mud.
Chain tension changes after tightening the axle nut.
Ensure the blocks are seated firmly against the swingarm adjustment bolt before tightening the axle nut.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly higher durability than stock OEM blocks
- Easy-to-read alignment markings save time during track-side maintenance
- Provides a secure, vibration-resistant fit
- Attractive anodized finish improves bike aesthetics
Cons
- Requires full removal of the rear axle for installation
- Limited color options outside of the signature red finish
- Incorrect adjustment can lead to premature chain and sprocket wear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loosen the axle nut and remove the rear wheel to slide off the old adjuster blocks. Clean the swingarm slots of any accumulated dirt or debris before sliding the new Apico blocks into place. Ensure they seat flush against the swingarm face.
Compatibility
These blocks are designed for specific off-road motorcycle models. Always verify your bike's specific year and model fitment with the `RAB-19 RED` part number before attempting installation.
Care Instructions
Periodically remove the blocks to clean out grit that may build up behind the axle bolt. Use a mild soap and water solution to maintain the anodized finish; avoid abrasive wire brushes or harsh chemical degreasers that may strip the color or accelerate corrosion.
