FAQs

Is this lever compatible with all Kawasaki models?

No, it is specifically designed for the Kawasaki KXF250 and KXF450 series. Please verify your specific model year compatibility.

Does this lever change the reach of the brake?

No, it is manufactured to match OEM lengths for a standard, familiar feel.

Does the anodized finish chip easily?

The finish is high-quality, but like any anodized metal, it may show wear if subjected to harsh abrasion against rocks or debris.

Is installation difficult for beginners?

If you have basic mechanical tools and experience with motorcycle maintenance, it is a simple task that usually takes under 15 minutes.

Should I replace the pivot bolt when installing a new lever?

It is recommended to inspect your existing pivot bolt for wear; if it shows grooves or signs of fatigue, replacing it is best practice.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff after installation

Check that the pivot bolt is not overtightened and ensure the pivot pin is properly greased.

Brake lever has excessive play

Ensure the pivot bolt is fully tightened to factory specs and verify that the master cylinder push-rod is correctly engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Apico Elite Brake Lever is straightforward but requires mechanical precision.

  1. Ensure the bike is on a stable stand.
  2. Loosen the perch bolts to remove the old lever.
  3. Clean the brake perch pivot area thoroughly and apply a light layer of high-quality silicone-based grease to the pivot pin.
  4. Insert the new lever, ensuring the pivot pin seats correctly within the master cylinder push-rod.
  5. Tighten the pivot bolt to the manufacturer's torque specification.

Compatibility is strictly limited to the Kawasaki KXF250 and KXF450 series. To care for your lever, periodically clean the pivot point to prevent debris buildup and inspect the lever for any signs of bending after a crash.
