FAQs

Standard motorcycle tools such as a socket set and a torque wrench are generally sufficient for the Honda XR400.
What is the tooth count for this specific model?
This model (A14 520 14SL) features a 14-tooth count.
Can I use this for street riding?
While designed for motocross and enduro, the steel construction is durable enough for street use if maintained properly.
How often should I replace my front sprocket?
It is recommended to replace the front sprocket whenever you replace your chain to ensure even wear across the drivetrain components.
Troubleshooting
Increased drivetrain noise
Check chain tension; an overly tight or loose chain will cause premature sprocket wear and noise.
Sprocket movement on shaft
Verify that the retaining washer or bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification and not stripped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first secure the motorcycle on a stable stand and remove the sprocket cover. Loosen the rear chain adjusters to create enough slack to remove the old sprocket from the countershaft. Slide the Apico sprocket into place, ensuring the splines align correctly, and re-secure the retaining plate or nut according to your manual's torque specifications. Compatibility is strictly for the Honda XR400 using a 520-pitch chain. Maintenance requires regular cleaning to remove mud and grit, which act as abrasives; apply high-quality chain lubricant frequently to prevent premature wear.
