FAQs

What is the primary benefit of a dual launch control button?

A dual launch control button allows riders to pre-set two different launch settings, offering more versatility for varying track conditions or desired acceleration profiles.

Is the fork-cutting template necessary for installation?

The template is highly recommended to ensure accurate modifications to the fork for optimal and secure mounting. While not strictly mandatory, it significantly simplifies the process.

What type of motorcycles is this product best suited for?

This product is designed for competitive off-road motorcycles used in racing, such as motocross and supercross, where precise launch control is beneficial.

Does this product come with mounting hardware?

The product includes the dual launch control button and the fork-mounted bracket, along with a fork-cutting template. However, specific mounting bolts for the bracket to the fork are typically not included and may need to be sourced separately based on your motorcycle model.

How durable is the Apico Dual Launch Control Button?

It is constructed with durable materials designed to withstand the demanding conditions of motorcycle racing.

Can this be used for street motorcycles?

This product is specifically designed for racing applications and is not intended or recommended for use on street motorcycles.

Troubleshooting

Button is stiff or difficult to press

Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check for any obstructions around the mounting bracket. Light lubrication with a silicone-based lubricant may help, but avoid over-application.

Mounting bracket feels loose

Verify that all 4 mounting points are securely fastened. Re-tighten any loose bolts. Ensure the fork modification, if any, was done correctly to provide a stable base.

Dual-button function not engaging correctly

Check the internal mechanism for any binding or damage. Ensure that the cable or linkage connected to the buttons is properly adjusted and not snagging.
