FAQs

What bikes is this lever compatible with?

This Apico Elite Magura Clutch Lever is designed for KTM models 1998-2008, SX65 2001-2013, and SX85 2003-2012, specifically those fitted with a Magura master cylinder.

How do I adjust the clutch engagement?

The lever features an integrated adjuster. You can turn this adjuster to fine-tune the clutch cable tension and engagement point. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for precise free play specifications.

Is this lever stronger than the stock lever?

Yes, the lever is cold-forged, which is a manufacturing process that enhances material strength and durability, making it generally stronger and more resistant to breakage than standard levers.

Can I use this lever with a non-Magura master cylinder?

No, this lever is specifically designed to work with Magura master cylinders. Using it with a different type of master cylinder will likely result in improper fitment and function.

How should I clean and maintain the lever?

Clean the lever with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check the pivot bolt for tightness and lightly lubricate the pivot point and adjuster mechanism.

What does 'long orange' refer to?

'Long Orange' refers to the specific color (orange) and length (OEM length) of this particular lever model.

What is the benefit of the laser-etched logo?

The laser-etched Apico Factory Racing logo adds an authentic, high-quality branding detail to the lever, signifying its genuine Apico origin.

Troubleshooting

Clutch cable feels too tight or too loose after installation.

Use the integrated adjuster on the lever and the adjuster on the master cylinder perch to set the correct clutch free play according to your motorcycle's service manual. Ensure the cable is correctly seated in the lever arm.

Lever feels stiff or difficult to move.

Check that the lever is correctly aligned on the perch and not binding. Ensure the pivot bolt is not overtightened. Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot point and the clutch cable entry.

Clutch does not disengage fully.

Verify the clutch cable free play is set correctly. If the issue persists, there may be an internal clutch problem or the cable may be worn and requires replacement.

Lever appears to be the wrong size or does not fit the perch.

Double-check that your motorcycle model and year match the product's specifications and that it is equipped with a Magura master cylinder. Refer to the product's detailed compatibility list.
