Troubleshooting
Plastic does not align with mounting holes
Verify the kit is for the correct KTM SX85 model year (2018-2023). Ensure no old mounting hardware is obstructing the fit. Loosen nearby plastics slightly to allow for adjustment before tightening.
Cracking during installation
Ensure you are not overtightening fasteners. If the plastic feels stiff, especially in cold weather, try warming it slightly with a heat gun on a low setting (be cautious not to melt or deform).
Color does not perfectly match original plastics
Colors are matched to OEM specifications, but slight variations can occur due to manufacturing batches and age of original plastics. Allow for minor differences.
Radiator covers do not fit snugly
Check that the correct side panels and radiator covers are installed on the appropriate sides. Ensure all securing points are engaged and fasteners are tightened appropriately.
