Kawasaki KRX 1000 Center Caps Keep Falling Out? Our Cheap Durable Solution!

[@rashellehelms3780]

Have used this for a year now on two machines. I bought them in black. You must have wheel spacers. We have not lost one yet and we have been up and down red and black trails. Thanks for video, hope it helps some people out. Easy on the wallet looks good, and it lasts.

Thank you and Nate for the tip! This was a great idea. Good point about the spacers

I bought my machine used when I went to take my wheels off to put my megabytes on I had a heck of a time getting the wheel off after all the lugs were removed. Turns out the previous owner silicone the caps on I swear he used a tube of silicone on each cap it was. They were so full of silicon it was tough to get off. I had to take a razor knife and cut all the silicone off the axle nut and threads and then wire wheel it to get it all removed but I'll tell you what you weren't losing no center caps

I’ve heard of doing this as well but man I would have been mad if it had that much on it lol

[@sinned96]

That'll only work if you have wheel spacers. Because the axle nut sticks out farther in the rear then those caps do. I noticed with my applesauce cups which are about the same depth as the stock caps. The applesauce Cup on the rear was right up against the end of the axle nuts. Couldn't run a flatter cap. I have wheel spacers now, and I can run a flat cap

Great point!

how's that sidewall slug holding up? do you have many miles riding with it in?

[@rebelsoffroad]

It’s holding up great! Have a bunch of miles on it. Put it in in September and been all over Have almost worn the bolt off of it lol still holds air

Why couldn't a guy just glue them on with some locktite adhesive.. don't they just stay in the wheels anyways when you pull them off ? I lost a cap on my krx on my first ride. Definitely irritating

[@rebelsoffroad]

You could definitely use some adhesive if you haven’t lost them already haha I wasn’t so lucky
