Using these hose clips is easy. Just place them around the hose where needed and tighten them up. When installing, make sure the clips are evenly positioned to ensure a good seal. As for maintenance, since they're made of high - quality stainless steel, they're resistant to corrosion. But it's still a good idea to check them periodically, especially if you ride in harsh conditions. If you notice any signs of wear or if they're not holding tightly, it might be time to replace them. Remember, these clips come with a 12 - month warranty, so if you have any issues within that time, you can get them sorted out. Also, these clips fit all AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so you don't have to worry about compatibility.
