Product Information
Full details
The Apico Handlebar Riser Kit is an essential upgrade for motocross, enduro, and trials riders looking to fine-tune their cockpit ergonomics for better control and comfort. Designed for riders who need a more upright standing position or a personalized fit, these risers allow for incremental adjustments that significantly improve handling during technical maneuvers; however, users should ensure their existing control cables have enough slack to accommodate the increased bar height before installation.

FAQs
Will this fit my 28.6mm fat bars?
Yes, this kit is specifically designed to be compatible with both standard 22.2mm and oversized 28.6mm handlebar diameters.
Do I need to bleed my brakes after installation?
Generally no, provided you only unbolt the clamps and do not disconnect the hydraulic lines.
What is the maximum height I can add?
The kit allows for a maximum adjustment of 40mm, adjustable in 5mm increments.
Can I install this on a street-legal enduro bike?
Yes, it fits most motocross, enduro, and trials motorcycles, but ensure your street wiring harness has enough slack.
Is the necessary mounting hardware included?
Yes, the kit includes all required bolts to accommodate the extra height.
Should I use thread-locking compound?
A light application of medium-strength thread locker is recommended on the bolts to prevent loosening from engine vibration.
Troubleshooting
Handlebars feel loose or shift during riding.
Verify that all bolts are torqued to the motorcycle manufacturer's specified value for handlebar clamps.
Cables are too tight after installation.
Re-route the cables behind the number plate or consider installing extended length throttle and brake lines.
Inconsistent gap between the upper and lower handlebar clamp.
Ensure that the risers are seated perfectly level in the lower mounts and tighten the bolts in an 'X' pattern to distribute pressure evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed on a clean, stable surface using standard metric hex keys and a torque wrench. Begin by removing the top bar clamp bolts, lifting the handlebars aside, and seating the Apico risers into the lower bar mounts. Once the risers are placed, position the handlebars back on top, securing them with the provided longer bolts. Always verify that the handlebar clamp gap is even on the front and back to prevent stress risers in the clamp. To maintain the kit, periodically check the torque of the mounting bolts after the first few hours of riding, as vibrations common in single-cylinder dirt bikes can settle the hardware. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might corrode the anodized finish.
