Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for the KTM SX65 models manufactured between 2012 and 2015. Ensure your motorcycle falls within this year range before purchasing. While designed for OEM fitment, minor trimming or adjustments might be necessary on certain components depending on aftermarket modifications or slight variations in individual bike frames.
Setup: Installation is intended to be straightforward. Begin by carefully removing the old plastics. Lay out the new Acerbis plastics and compare them to the original parts to familiarize yourself with their placement. Typically, installation involves re-using existing mounting hardware. Refer to your KTM SX65 service manual for specific fastener torque specifications and removal/installation sequences for bodywork.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the plastics, clean them regularly after each use. Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic surface and fade the color. Store the motorcycle in a shaded area when possible to prevent prolonged sun exposure, which can degrade plastics over time.
