rustyfuknut46 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ello everyone. I recently had a crack on someones bike that had these Apico Flexi Levers... http://www.motomerlin.org.uk/ekmps/shops/motomerlin1/images/apico-flexi-lever-ajp-trials-pair--3687-p.jpg I've gone past the point of breaking levers all the time and haven't broken one in over a year however they felt nice and had good adjustment so thought I'd treat myself. Upon fitting them though I've found that the brake lever will flex backwards however because the clutch adjuster screw on the clutch lever is in the top slot, it prevents the lever from flexing due to the adjuster screw. I keep thinking I must be missing something as the whole point of them is to flex? Has anyone else got these levers and found the same? All the best, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I've had a set of ARC levers for about 10 years now which these look to be patterned off except for the 2 holes for the pushrod & have never had any problems, am I correct in saying that the span adjuster hits the pushrod when folding it forward?

I think it's a design fault as the pushrod on the brake side is in the bottom hole whereas the clutch side it is in the top hole. I think the best course of action would be to get it adjusted where I like it and grind off the excess with a dremel. This would solve the problem but I'd prefer to have it working properly obviously haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusoe123 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi, I had that issue too, so if I remember correctly, I cut the screw that goes into the master cylinder. I'll take a look tomorrow and confirm exactly, but I did think it was a poor design and should have been eliminated at the prototype stage.

uncletp45 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have a set of the Apico Flexi Levers on my Beta look great and work really well, had them on for ages with loads of crashes but still not managed to break them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
