Description
AS3 Performance aluminium throttle tubes are a game - changer for your KTM. They're precision CNC machined from solid billet aluminium, making them far stronger than the stock plastic OEM throttle tubes. This means they can better withstand impacts and won't break easily. Inside, there's a Teflon inner sleeve that significantly cuts down friction. And with an internal bearing, the throttle operation becomes incredibly smooth and consistent.
These throttle tubes are designed to fit a wide range of KTM models, including the 2016 - 2022 250/350/450 SX - F, 2016 - 2023 250 EXC - F, 2016 - 2022 250 XC - F, 2017 - 2023 350 EXC - F, 2016 - 2022 350 XC - F, 2020 - 2022 350 XCF - W, 2016 - 2022 450 SX - F, 2017 - 2023 450 EXC - F, 2016 - 2022 450 XC - F, 2017 - 2023 500 EXC - F, and 2020 - 2022 500 XCF - W.
Key features include knurled grooves that ensure a strong bond between the grip and the tube. However, due to the bearing, they can't be used with wrap - around hand guards. You also get a 12 - month warranty, and the throttle tube you see in the picture is exactly what you'll receive.
Using your AS3 Performance aluminium throttle tube is easy. First, make sure your KTM is turned off and cooled down. Remove the old throttle tube carefully, then install the new AS3 tube in its place. Ensure it fits snugly and that the connection is secure.
When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the throttle tube regularly. You can use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner to wipe it down. Check the internal bearing and Teflon inner sleeve for any signs of wear over time.
Remember, because of the internal bearing, this throttle tube can't be used with wrap - around hand guards. Also, if you notice any unusual noises or changes in throttle operation, it might be a sign that something needs to be checked. And don't forget, your throttle tube comes with a 12 - month warranty, so if there are any issues, you're covered.
