Budget levers

[dazzer]

my new levers arrived today. i have used these on my speedfour and thunderace. they look great with no problems. i ordered them to fit XJ6 diversion 2012. £16.99 the pair delivered.

 

[flydnb]

what other mods are you going to do ?

 

[marcusfordus]

That's a price I like. Where from then ?

 

[dazzer]

They are off ebay from china. I have already fitted a Evotech rad guard and i am waiting for a Ermax 33cm screen to be delivered.
I like eveything else about the bike.

How did you know they would fit?

 

[dazzer]

i found a list on the web. cant remember where but they fit perfect. i thought i would take a chance at the price

 

[Stan09]

Thank you, I'm on E bay looking now.

If compare the numbers from the part catalogues of Yamaha's website, you'll find that several models are using the same, which is not really a surprise

Struggling to find these on ebay. Did you have to pay in dollars? Any chance of the sellers name please? Any import duty?

Never fitted them myself, read a horror story on superbike forum years ago, guy had chinese levers fitted fitted to his R1, and the front brake lever snapped at the pivot point! Not sure if true or urban legend, but put me of finding out for myself!

 

[Slappyhead]

Thanks a lot!

I'd be more worried buy cheap and end up dead! Anyone fancy a snapped front brake lever when braking from high speed, while on the public roads!!

 

[dazzer]

i know a few racers who use these. my brother one of them. both of us are mechanical engineers and can appreciate the quality. if i had any worries i wouldnt have them on my bike.
i have had problems with a brand called bikeit years ago. they didnt snap, the span adjuster unscrewed itself and the lever fell off. no worries with these.
this is not a quality guarantee just my opinion and there are different brands for sale from china and i can only comment on the ones i recieved.

As I mentioned in another thread, I had my brake lever broken by thieves a couple weeks ago so decided to get something different.

Ended up buying these, thinking that they look pretty cool: Black Blade Brake Clutch Levers For Yamaha FZ1 FAZER/GT 06-12 FZ6 FAZER/S2 04-11 | eBay

Installed them on Saturday and, £$#%*&!*!!!, dropped my bike this morning and bent the tip of my clutch lever :/ Took the bike off the stand, rolled it forward and put it back on the stand. As I turn around I feel it's falling, I turn around and it's almost on the ground, leaning against my leg.
Couldn't hold it though and it fell and scratched the left side of the engine cover and bent the tip of the lever so I guess I have to get a new set.

I'm so annoyed that silly stuff just keeps happening to me. First, lowsided it on a muddy road - right side scratched and brake lever broken, then thieves break my number plate light and new brake lever, which I end up replacing only to drop the bike onto its other side and brake them 4 days later.
And I thought I was always so careful with it. Add to that the bloody camchain noise and it feels like a scarred bike already

P.S.
If you're buying replacement levers, the ones for FZ1 06-12 fit perfectly. Both sets I bought were for that bike and both fit fine.

Your luck has to change soon! I read your thread on the attempted theft, very interesting reading.
