FAQs

Does this hose come with new washers?

Yes, it is recommended to use new copper washers during installation to ensure a proper seal.

Can I use this on a 2015 Sherco?

No, this part is specifically designed for Sherco Trials models from 1999 to 2012.

What is the benefit of the braided material?

Braided hoses expand significantly less than standard rubber hoses, leading to a firmer brake feel and better modulation.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You will need basic hand tools and a brake bleeding kit, but no specialized professional equipment is required.

Is the outer coating removable?

The coating is a permanent feature designed to protect the braided material from the environment; it should not be removed.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy after installation

Air is trapped in the line; continue the bleeding process until no more air bubbles appear in the fluid.

Leakage at the banjo fitting

Ensure new copper crush washers are used on both sides of the fitting and that the banjo bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This hose is strictly compatible with Sherco Trials models produced between 1999 and 2012. Ensure your frame and master cylinder assembly are consistent with these model years before attempting installation.

Installation Steps:

  1. Drain the existing brake fluid from your system safely.
  2. Carefully remove the old hose using a wrench, keeping track of the old copper washers.
  3. Install the Apico hose using the provided stainless steel banjo bolts, ensuring new copper washers are placed on both sides of the fitting to prevent leaks.
  4. Bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove all trapped air until the lever feel is firm.

Care Instructions: Periodically inspect the outer plastic coating for deep cuts or signs of wear. Keep the banjo fittings clean of dirt buildup and ensure the line is routed correctly to avoid kinking during full handlebar lock.
