FAQs
What models is the Apico Elite Brake Lever compatible with?
This lever is designed for Yamaha YZ125, YZ250, YZF250, and Kawasaki KXF250, KXF450 motorcycles.
What does 'cold-forged' mean for the lever?
Cold forging is a manufacturing process that shapes metal at room temperature under high pressure, resulting in a stronger, more durable component with improved grain structure compared to casting or machining.
Is this lever a direct replacement for the stock lever?
Yes, it is designed to be an OEM-length replacement, meaning it should fit and function similarly to the original lever.
Does the lever come with a master cylinder?
No, this product is for the brake lever only. It does not include the master cylinder or associated brake components.
How should I clean the blue anodized finish?
Clean the lever with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the anodized coating.
Can I use this lever for street bikes?
This lever is primarily designed for Motocross, Enduro, and Trials applications. Its compatibility with street bikes is not guaranteed and would depend on specific master cylinder and perch designs.
What does the laser-etched logo signify?
The laser-etched Apico logo is a mark of authenticity and adds a premium aesthetic detail to the lever blade.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the pivot bolt is not overtightened. Lightly lubricate the pivot point with a suitable grease. Check that no dirt or debris is interfering with the lever's movement.
Lever does not fit correctly
Double-check the compatibility of the lever with your specific motorcycle model and year. Ensure you are using the correct mounting hardware for your bike.
