FAQs

What makes the Pro Taper XPS Brake Lever different from other levers?

The XPS lever features a unique Cross Pivot System designed to be virtually unbendable and offers tool-less reach adjustment, providing a high degree of customization and durability.

Can I install this lever on any dirt bike?

No, this specific model has a limited fitment range, designed primarily for certain Kawasaki KXF and KX models listed in the compatibility section. Always check your bike's specifications.

How do I adjust the lever reach?

The lever features a dial mechanism located near the pivot. Simply turn the dial with your finger to adjust the lever's position closer to or further from the handlebar, offering 20mm of tunability.

Is professional installation recommended?

While the installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics, it is recommended to have a qualified technician install the lever to ensure correct brake system function and safety.

How do I clean and maintain the lever?

Clean the lever with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the pivot area and rubber boots remain free of dirt and debris for optimal performance.

What is the purpose of the rubber boot?

The fitted rubber boot protects the internal XPS assembly from water, dirt, and debris, which helps maintain smooth operation and prolong the life of the lever mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the pivot area is clean and free of debris. Check that the mounting bolts are not over-tightened. Lubricate the pivot point sparingly if necessary with a light grease.

Reach adjustment dial is hard to turn.

Clean the dial mechanism and surrounding area. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing its movement. If the issue persists, consult a professional.

Brake lever does not return properly.

Verify that the brake cable is not binding and that the master cylinder plunger is free. Check for any obstructions around the lever pivot or inside the master cylinder assembly. Ensure the master cylinder boot is correctly fitted and not interfering.

Lever bent after a crash.

While designed to be very resistant to bending, severe impacts can still cause damage. Inspect the lever and surrounding components for any signs of damage or misalignment. If bent, replacement is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
