FAQs

Is this lever compatible with my specific motorcycle model?

The Apico lever is designed as a universal fit for many motocross, enduro, and trials bikes. However, it's best to compare the mounting dimensions and cable attachment with your current setup or consult your motorcycle's service manual to confirm compatibility.

What does 'cold forged' mean for the lever's performance?

Cold forging is a manufacturing process that shapes metal at room temperature. For levers, it results in a material structure that is stronger and more ductile, meaning it's more likely to bend upon impact rather than break completely, allowing for potential continued use after a crash.

How do I adjust the lever position?

The lever features a 3-way adjustment. Typically, this involves rotating a mechanism or selecting a different mounting position on the lever perch to change the distance between the lever and the handlebar grip.

What is the purpose of the nylon sleeve on the holder?

The nylon sleeve allows the lever holder to rotate or slide slightly during an impact. This rotation helps absorb some of the force, preventing the holder itself from breaking and potentially saving the handlebar from damage.

Can I use this lever for street bikes?

This lever is specifically designed for off-road applications (motocross, enduro, trials). While it might physically fit some street bikes, its durability characteristics and design are optimized for off-road conditions, and compatibility with street bike clutch systems is not guaranteed.

How do I clean the lever and holder?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild soap solution. Wipe down the lever and holder, then dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the clutch cable is properly lubricated and not kinked. Check that the lever pivot point is clean and free of debris. Lightly lubricate the pivot.

Lever does not return smoothly after actuation

Verify that the clutch cable is correctly routed and not binding against the frame or other components. Ensure the cable tension is set appropriately per your motorcycle's manual.

Lever is bent after a fall

Gently attempt to straighten the lever. If the lever has a significant bend or shows signs of weakness, it should be replaced to ensure safe operation.

Holder assembly seems loose or rotates unintentionally

Tighten the mounting bolts for the holder assembly securely. Ensure the nylon sleeve is correctly seated within the holder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increases chances of continuing a ride after a fall due to bend-not-break design.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
  • Adjustability allows for personalized rider comfort and control.
  • Improves motorcycle aesthetics with a factory race-inspired look.
  • Nylon sleeve on the holder adds an extra layer of impact protection.

Cons

  • Universal fit may require minor modifications for some specific bike models.
  • Adjustability, while beneficial, might add complexity for initial setup.
  • The 'bend' characteristic requires lever straightening after an impact, unlike rigid levers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This lever is designed as an OEM replacement. Ensure your motorcycle's clutch cable is disconnected. Remove the old lever and holder assembly. Install the new Apico lever and holder, ensuring the cable is correctly attached and adjusted according to your motorcycle's service manual. Adjust the lever position using the 3-way adjustment mechanism for optimal reach and comfort.

Compatibility: While designed as a universal fit for many motocross, enduro, and trials motorcycles, it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific make and model. Check the mounting point diameter and cable pull mechanism against your existing setup.

Care: Clean the lever and holder regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Periodically check the lever pivot and adjustment mechanism for smooth operation and lubricate if necessary.
