Adjustable levers-recommendations?
« on: 09 May 2014, 07:19:43 am »
Can anyone recommend a brand/supplier for the FZS 600 ? I see plenty listed for FZS 1000.  Ideally the longer length pattern. Finding it a bit of a stretch on the standard clutch! Thanks

The clutch lever is the harder one to get hold of (typical) I don't think it shares the unit with any other bike making it more expensive to get hold of a lever.
Other option is to source a thundercat lever bracket off eBay and then an adjustable lever for that which is more common

Thinking about it I may have changed to a thundercat cable too!

Have you thought of going the cnc levers route. Plenty have got the Chinese ebay ones fitted though you'd have a ask one of those guys how they're getting on with them though.

Me- and as I've explained- hard to get hold of the clutch lever cheaply  that you are after!

Kind of my point gassitt- you can get the set of clutch and brake levers on ebay for an r6/ R1/ thundercat etc for £20

you should be able to get some off ebay via HongKong, I have some on my bikes and can't fault them and under £20 inc. p&p.
You can't adjust the clutch too much as you need the movement to opperate the clutch? make sure the cable is oiled you can make a funnel from a small plastic bag make a hole in the corner just big enough to get the cable through then tape it to the outer, put some oil in the bag and hang it up for a few hours or until it comes out the other end, it makes the clutch much lighter to use.
