Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Apico Front Wheel Spacers should be performed during a standard front wheel removal procedure. Always ensure the mating surfaces of the wheel bearings and the spacers are clean and free of debris before insertion. It is highly recommended to apply a light layer of waterproof axle grease to the contact surfaces of the spacers where they meet the dust seals; this helps prevent moisture ingress and reduces friction. Compatibility is limited to specific KTM motorcycles including SX, SXF, EXC, and EXC-F models. Verify that your front axle diameter matches the ID of the spacers before final tightening. For care, inspect the spacers for grooves or wear marks whenever you perform an oil change or air filter service, and replace them if the surface finish has been heavily compromised by abrasive grit.
