Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Apico Elite Clutch Lever requires basic mechanical knowledge of motorcycle hydraulic systems. Ensure the bike is on a stable stand before beginning. Remove the old lever by unscrewing the pivot bolt and carefully detaching the hydraulic actuator pin. Before installing the new Apico lever, verify that the pivot point is clean and lightly greased. After securing the new lever, test the clutch action to ensure there is no binding. If the clutch feel is 'mushy' or inconsistent, the hydraulic line will need to be bled according to your motorcycle manufacturer's service manual. To maintain the lever's finish, clean with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals that could degrade the anodizing.
