Using these hose clips is easy. Just place the clip around the hose where it needs to be secured and tighten it properly. Make sure it's firmly in place to prevent any leaks. When installing, be gentle to avoid damaging the hose. For maintenance, regularly check the clips for any signs of corrosion or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the clip right away. Since they're made of high - quality stainless steel, they should last a long time, but it's still important to keep an eye on them. Store the clips in a dry place when not in use to maintain their quality. Also, remember that these clips are designed specifically for 2008 - 2011 KTM 250 EXC - F and are compatible with AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so make sure to use them accordingly.
