FAQs
Does this hose fit the standard wheel version of the Honda CR80?
No, this part is specifically designed for the Big Wheel (BW) models of the CR80 and CR85.
Do I need to buy extra fittings for installation?
No, the kit comes supplied with all necessary stainless steel banjo bolts and fittings.
How often should I inspect the hose?
It is recommended to inspect the hose before every ride and perform a detailed check after every race or long trail session.
Is the protective coating removable?
The plastic coating is integrated into the hose design to protect the braiding and should not be removed.
Can I use DOT 5 brake fluid with this hose?
Always check your owner's manual for the required fluid type (usually DOT 4), as the hose material is designed to be compatible with standard motocross braking systems.
Troubleshooting
Spongy or soft brake pedal feel after installation
Air is trapped in the line; repeat the bleeding process ensuring all air bubbles are expelled from the caliper.
Weeping fluid at the banjo bolt connection
Check that new crush washers were used and that the banjo bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this hose, ensure your motorcycle is securely held on a stand. Remove the old hose, taking care to catch any escaping brake fluid, and attach the Apico hose using the provided stainless steel banjo bolts and new crush washers. It is essential to flush the system with fresh brake fluid and bleed the line thoroughly to remove air pockets. Compatibility is strictly limited to Honda CR80 (2000-2002) and CR85 (2003-2004) Big Wheel models. For care, periodically inspect the hose for any signs of abrasion or leakage after particularly rough rides, and clean the exterior coating with mild soap and water to keep the material supple and prevent buildup.
