Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the AGS160 requires basic hand tools including a set of wrenches and a screwdriver. Begin by fully loosening the clutch cable adjuster at the perch to provide maximum slack. Remove the pivot bolt and nut, discard the old lever, and lubricate the pivot point of the new Accossato lever with a small amount of synthetic motorcycle grease. Align the new lever with the perch, reinsert the pivot bolt, and tighten until the lever moves freely without excessive lateral play. After installation, verify that the clutch engages and disengages fully and adjust the cable tension as needed. To maintain the lever, wipe away road grime periodically and ensure the pivot bolt remains secure during your routine safety inspections.
