Product Information
Full details
The Apico Front Brake Hose for Honda CR80 and CR85 motorcycles is designed for off-road riders looking to maintain or upgrade their braking system to meet OEM performance specifications. It offers a significant boost in durability and reliability compared to standard stock lines, thanks to its braided construction and protective coating; however, professional installation is recommended to ensure the brake system is properly bled and free of air bubbles for optimal safety.

FAQs
Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

No, this specific part (HHF HON 1) is designed specifically for the Honda CR80 and CR85 models.
Do I need special tools to install this hose?
You will need a set of metric wrenches for the banjo bolts and a brake bleeding kit to ensure the system is properly pressurized.
How often should I inspect the brake hose?
It is recommended to inspect the hose for any signs of wear, abrasion, or fluid leaks before every race or major riding event.
What type of brake fluid should I use?
Use high-quality DOT 4 brake fluid, or as specified in your Honda owner's manual.
Troubleshooting
Brake lever feels spongy after installation
Air remains in the line; perform a thorough brake bleeding procedure to remove trapped air bubbles.
Minor fluid weeping at the banjo bolt connection
Ensure new crush washers were used and tighten the banjo bolt to the manufacturer's torque specification.
Hose appears too long or too short during install
Verify the routing follows the OEM path and check that the handlebars are centered; ensure the hose isn't snagged on other cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires removing the old brake hose and ensuring no air enters the master cylinder or caliper. Always use new crush washers with the provided stainless steel banjo bolts to prevent leaks. The hose is compatible with standard DOT 4 brake fluid. To care for your hose, periodically inspect the protective coating for cracks or deep gouges after heavy riding days. Keep the hose free of harsh chemicals and rinse it with low-pressure water after cleaning your bike to maintain the longevity of the outer protective layer.
