![[How To] Install Aftermarket Levers](/img/tr.png)
for anyone using this guide with a er6-n , its same procedure . you might have a job bashing out that collar for the clutch [only clutch side brake doesnt have one] , i did . its soft brass so i had to slightly file ends smooth again on collar where id hammered it to make it slide nice into the new lever . also on clutch side only youll need to loosen the mirror retainer screws with an allen key to gain access to a tight nut , a socket wont fit so youll need a no. 10 spanner . a no. 10 socket is all thats needed on the brake lever - thats the easy one . hope it helps . great video !!!! thanks
tharobstervideo Thanks. Hopefully that will help someone!
A really nice detailed how-to video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks :-)
Good video Richard, nice to see you doing these as I know when you first got into biking you said you had no mechanical skills whatsoever! so it's nice to see you hard at work on your own bike, RSM8.
I'm still very limited but keen to learn! (Especially when I saw the price of servicing!)
I never realised how straight forward this job was even I could do this haha
A lot of jobs are like that. Scary until you try them then you wonder what the fuss was all about :-D
Nice job CB just got some levers for my Triumph Striple an im waiting for a scorpion slip on to arrive, great vids keep up the good work
Thanks :-)
I do like the Street Triple - it's just a bit too big for my little legs :-D
Very nice and clear video. Cheers mate!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :-)
Wish me luck. Going to try this now on my z750. Thanks for the video btw!
Good luck! It's dead easy though. Just take your time and don't force anything if it isn't coming apart easily.
Great video as ever CB. I always admire the patience, precision and complete methodology in your handy work! Excellent post though... I can see me needing this one day.
Thanks Paul!
Thanks I totally forgot and this video helped especially on the clutch side!! Didn't want to brake anything. Cheers
Cheers!
Well done. Much better with those levers. Can you actually get the bolts with new levers so they're cheaper, or do you have to buy the bolts separate? It did seem a lot for just one bolt.
I don't know to be honest. In theory the old bolts should do the job (if the previous user hasn't mashed them completely!)
Much better! The style as well as the colour.
Good aren't they! Worth the £16 :-D
Not sure they'd suit mine!!
Lurch OnABike Red ones?
More the style. Quite sporty looking things, whereas my bike is built for comfort. Mine has black levers. I have an adjuster on it though, never fiddled with it as I wasn't sure if it adjusted the clutch cable or the level reach :)
Aaaaaw yeah CB there looking sweet man!! lot better with the adjustment on them huh.
I'm really pleased with them. Just need the weather to try them out, as the Kwak is rapidly becoming my dry weather bike.
A pain that you had to do this...
Well done calm !!!
;)
Cheers DD! Annoying that the bolt cost more than one lever but I like the end result.
Good one Calm, Looks better I think. They look pretty much identical to the red ones that came on my bike, although I want them in black instead.
They're so cheap I reckon you could get a few and change them according to your mood :-D
I've got another set to put on the XJ6.
hehe good idea :P
Good job. :) looks good quality:) and safer grip :) nice little upgrade.
I really like them. It might have got me into the idea of adding too many cosmetic bits though, he he!
once again i am glad i have a hydraulic clutch even if i dont get the option of adjustable levers since my bike is 28 years old. all i have to do is make sure my pivot pins are greased and my plungers work.
The cable is a pain for sure.
Good job. Sexy levers !
Thanks!
Looks great CB nice job. now youve got the bug more bits to come ? RSM8
Definitely. I've got a bunch of bits to put on the Yamaha. Don't know whether or not to video the lever install on that one.
could always save it for a cold frosty winter's day :-) Brrr
told ya it was easy......great detailed video...well done
Cheers Tosh. XJ6 ones next I think.
now you've done one its all downhill from here
nice work to help me
tharobstervideo Thanks :-)
I have the same problem with the clutch lever on my zx6r. Its really spraining my wrist to reach that far. Could you suggest where i should shop for new levers?
I just bought some from eBay.
Hi, I have a Z750R and looking to put a screen on the front like you have. what make is the one you have and are they any good. Thanks
+Paul Munday It's a Puig. It was on the bike when I got it and I've never removed it so I can't compare with and without. It's not bad on wind noise for a naked bike though so I assume it's doing something.
Great video, very helpful :D
+z0ky Thanks :-)
great video CB, are you going to do a video when you put new levers on xj6 as I will be changing my soon so some guidance would be great LOL
RSM8
I wasn't sure (because it would almost be a repeat) but now you have asked, yes I will :-)
I'm probably going to fit them this weekend.
CalmBiker thanks CB that will be a great help, do you happen to have a link to were you bought xj6 levers thanks
RSM8
***** Sure thing. It was this chap: stores.ebay.co.uk/tpowermoto/
Haven't tried them on the bike yet but they seem OK. Need to check the fit before I can recommend them.
Thanks mate RSM8
***** Just checking the video before uploading it :-)
I have a black flip up pair for my 2012 Diversion s,
made a big difference.
I've got some blue ones for the XJ6. I saw the flip up ones but wasn't sure what they were for. What's the benefit?
CalmBiker Supposed to prevent levers breaking of if bike falls over.
DivvyRider Ah, right. Makes sense. Mine have those thinner bits. Presumably designed as a weak spot so you still have some lever left if you drop it.
CalmBiker Yes weirdly so do my flip ups. The Kawasaki is a nice bike could you tell me what you think the biggest difference is between that and the Diversion?
DivvyRider Mainly power. It pulls much more readily from lower revs.
It's also geared lower in general. It's a bit taller and more chuckable (but that might be the better tyres).
It feels better quality I think. The gear change is much less clunky for example.
How tall are you, I'm 5'4 and I don't know what bikes I would fit.
I've been told about adjustable coils and I heard it would lower a bike so I could fit.
I'm 5' 8" and a lot of bikes are too tall for me. The Z750R is right at my limit and I'm considering lowering it an inch. The only concern is the difference it might make to the handling.
Quite a few sports bikes are smaller. I think +Bex88 rode an XJ6, like my other bike, and found it was OK. It's definitely an inch or two lower than the Z750R.
Ok, I'll have to have a look, I'm only 17. Getting my second bike which is going to be a geared one. I can barely find a 125 that will fit me. I can fit my uncles 600cc Yamaha, I can't remember what model. I'm thinking of getting a Honda cbr 125.
StormViper If you're on a 125, how about a Grom / MSX? Or is that too far? :-D
I've actually considered the msx. :P
StormViper I would love to try one but I don't know if I would buy one. When you are limited to a 125 though, might be a good bet. That said, RoyalJordanian has one.
Looking way better better these levers, although they are made in China (i suppose), the durability may become a problem. Just let's see what it brings. I think most after market parts are made in China.
Pretty much everything is nowadays. Hopefully they won't fall apart on me!
That said, a lot more bikes are being made in China nowadays and nobody seems to be noticing. The ones not made in China tend to have a lot of Chinese parts.
How you install Puing give me the movie on the subject
The screen? If so, I didn't install it. I don't have the bike any more to do a video I'm afraid. It's a simple kit though that fits to the handlebar mount.
Same lever for z750 and z750r?
I think so. They're basically the same bike.
@@CalmBiker mmmmm no, the brakes are diferent
can't you adjust the normal leavers?
Daniel Schlegel No, there's no adjustment in them.
then what are the circles with the numbers on the leavers for?
Daniel Schlegel That's only the brake side, not the clutch.
oo ok, thanks
Look great. I bet as a yorkshireman you gutted at spending so much on a bolt :o)
Oh yes!
