FAQs

Does this lever fit AJP or Magura systems?

No, this specific model (LEB91 ELITE OR) is engineered exclusively for Braktec hydraulic systems.

What is the benefit of the brass bush versus the plastic one?

The brass bush generally offers higher durability and a more consistent feel, while the plastic bush can be used if tolerances require a softer material to prevent binding.

Can I replace just the lever blade if it breaks?

The safety groove is designed to break, protecting the master cylinder. While the blade is replaceable, always inspect the pivot housing for structural damage after a significant impact.

Does the orange finish fade?

Like all anodised components, the finish is durable but may show minor fading or wear over time due to UV exposure and friction.

Is any special tool required for installation?

A standard set of Allen keys or wrenches is typically all that is needed to remove the pivot bolt.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels loose or has side-to-side play

Check that the correct pivot bush is installed and ensure the pivot bolt is tightened to the correct torque.

Brake lever does not return fully

Check for debris in the pivot area or ensure the master cylinder spring is functioning correctly. Clean and re-grease the pivot point.

Reach adjuster is stiff

Clean any accumulated dirt from the threads of the CNC adjuster and apply a light lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your motorcycle is equipped with a Braktec brake master cylinder.

  1. Remove the existing lever by unscrewing the pivot bolt.
  2. Select the appropriate pivot bush (brass or plastic) based on the fit within your master cylinder housing; ensure the movement is smooth without excessive wobble.
  3. Grease the pivot pin and bushes lightly to maintain smooth operation.
  4. Install the new lever and tighten the pivot bolt to manufacturer specifications.
  5. Adjust the reach using the CNC machined thumb wheel until the desired lever position is reached.

To care for the lever, periodically inspect the pivot point for dirt buildup and re-grease as necessary. Clean the anodised surface with mild soap and water to maintain the orange finish.
