FAQs
Is this lever adjustable?
The Apico Elite Clutch Lever itself is not adjustable for reach; however, the clutch cable tension can be adjusted to suit rider preference.
What is the main benefit of the 'Elite' version?
The 'Elite' version offers a premium anodized orange finish and a laser-etched Apico logo, providing a more aggressive and factory-team aesthetic compared to standard levers.
Can I use this lever on a different motorcycle not listed?
It is strongly recommended to only use this lever on the specific motorcycle models and years listed in the compatibility section to ensure proper fit and function.
How durable is the anodized finish?
The anodized finish is designed for durability and resistance to fading under normal riding conditions. However, it can be damaged by abrasive cleaners or significant impacts.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, you will need basic hand tools such as a socket set or wrenches to remove the old lever and pivot bolt, and potentially Allen keys depending on your motorcycle's hardware. A tool for clutch cable adjustment may also be required.
Does this lever come with a new cable?
No, this product is for the clutch lever only. The clutch cable is a separate component.
Troubleshooting
Lever feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the pivot bolt is tightened securely but allows for free movement. Check for any wear on the mounting perch or lever itself.
Clutch engagement is inconsistent
Verify that the clutch cable is properly adjusted and not frayed. Inspect the clutch mechanism for any binding or damage.
Lever does not fit correctly
Double-check that your motorcycle's make, model, and year are listed in the compatibility section. Ensure no foreign debris is obstructing the mounting point.
