FAQs

What motorcycle brands is this lever compatible with?

This Apico Elite Brake Lever is designed for KTM, Husaberg, Sherco, and TM motorcycles.

Is this lever available in other colors?

The product information specifies a Black (BK) version. Apico levers are often available in various manufacturer colours, as well as silver, but this specific listing is for black.

What does 'cold-forged' mean for the lever?

Cold forging is a manufacturing process that shapes metal at room temperature, resulting in a stronger, more durable component with improved grain structure compared to hot-forged or cast levers.

How do I clean and maintain the anodised finish?

Clean the lever with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or strip the anodised coating.

Will this lever fit my aftermarket master cylinder?

This lever is designed to OEM specifications, which generally means it will fit OEM master cylinders. Fitment with aftermarket master cylinders can vary, so it's advisable to check dimensions or consult with the master cylinder manufacturer.

What is the warranty period for Apico levers?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to the purchase details or contact the seller for specific warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels loose or has excessive play.

Check the lever pivot bolt and master cylinder plunger engagement. Ensure the bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's specification and that the plunger is correctly seated within the lever.

Brake lever does not return smoothly.

Inspect the lever pivot area for debris or obstructions. Ensure the master cylinder internals are clean and lubricated. The lever may need to be removed and cleaned thoroughly.

Lever bent or damaged after a fall.

While designed for durability, extreme impacts can cause bending. Inspect for any visible damage. If bent, it is recommended to replace the lever to ensure proper braking function and safety.

  • Designed for a direct fit with OEM specifications.
  • Suitable for competitive off-road disciplines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This Apico Elite Brake Lever (MPN: LEB53 ELITE BK) is specifically designed for KTM, Husaberg, Sherco, and TM motorcycles. Always confirm that your motorcycle's make, model, and year are listed within the compatibility range or are a direct match for the OEM lever it replaces.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old brake lever and associated hardware. Ensure the master cylinder plunger is properly seated in the new lever. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for detailed removal and installation procedures. Adjust the lever position and reach using your motorcycle's existing adjustment mechanisms if applicable.

Care: To maintain the lever's finish and performance, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodised coating. Periodically check that the lever pivot bolt is correctly tensioned – not too tight to restrict movement, and not too loose to cause play.
