FAQs
What is the main benefit of the rotator clamp design?
The rotator design allows for adjustable positioning of the master cylinder perch, offering improved ergonomics and potentially preventing damage during impacts by allowing the perch to rotate.
Is this clamp compatible with aftermarket handlebars?
It is designed as an OEM replacement for standard handlebar sizes. Compatibility with aftermarket handlebars depends on their diameter and shape; always verify measurements.
How do I know if this clamp will fit my bike?
This clamp is designed to replace OEM master cylinder perches. Verify your motorcycle's original part number and handlebar diameter against the product specifications.
What material is the clamp made from?
The clamp is CNC machined from durable aluminum.
Does the clamp come with mounting hardware?
Typically, replacement parts like this utilize the original hardware. Please refer to the product listing for exact contents, but often bolts are sold separately or you reuse OEM bolts.
How should I clean the orange finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials or strong chemicals that could damage the anodized coating.
What warranty is offered on this product?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please consult the retailer's specific warranty policy for this Apico product.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not fit the handlebar.
Verify that you have the correct handlebar diameter (7/8" or 1 1/8") for your clamp and motorcycle.
Master cylinder does not align correctly.
Ensure the perch is positioned correctly on the handlebar and that the master cylinder is seated properly within the perch. Re-adjust the angle using the rotator feature.
Bolts are difficult to tighten or strip.
Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to the correct specification. Do not overtighten. If threads are damaged, consult a professional.
Anodized finish appears faded or scratched.
Avoid harsh chemicals. Clean with mild soap and water. Minor scratches are typical of off-road use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the engine is off and the motorcycle is stable.
- Loosen and remove the bolts securing the existing master cylinder perch.
- Carefully slide the old perch off the handlebar.
- Position the new Apico Master Cylinder Perch Rotator Clamp on the handlebar in the desired orientation.
- Reinstall the master cylinder assembly onto the new perch, ensuring it is correctly aligned.
- Tighten the perch bolts incrementally and evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification (refer to your motorcycle's service manual).
- Adjust lever position as needed.
Compatibility:
This clamp is designed as an exact replacement for OEM master cylinder perches. It is compatible with most standard 7/8" (22mm) and 1 1/8" (28.6mm) handlebars commonly found on motocross, enduro, and trials motorcycles. Always verify compatibility with your specific motorcycle make and model before purchasing.
Care:
Clean the perch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the anodized finish. Periodically check the tightness of the mounting bolts, especially after initial installation and after aggressive riding.
