It's a really simple job, especially the brake side. Take the old one off, put the new one on.I have never messed with levers before but I am going to be installing aftermarket ones. Is there anything I need to look out for? It looks simple but they didn't come with instructions.
What and where did you get your set? I've been looking for a set of short levers, but all I can find are ones on ebay, and I'm not so confident in those.
Is the side stand down when you do this? When you pull in the clutch with the side stand down the engine will stop. Part of the Ignition Circuit Cutoff System. See page 4-20 in your manual.Need help fang, long story short, installed the levers that you recommended, I fudged around with the adjuster, I counted two threads, but now that I put it back together, when I pull on clutch, go into first, the bike stalls off. (Is it not engaged?) What to do?
At one point it wasn't stalling, in fact the opposite was happening, it was slipping? I think, the bike wouldn't stall in 1, with the clutch released, it would actually sort of roll forward. Sorry. I'm a noob.
Now it stalls off though. Please advise!
THanks
Had to ask. It happens.Of course it's not down
It's def a cable adjustment..
This. There's a centimeter long button that naturally gets pushed in when you install the lever, and releases when clutching in. You need to make sure when you put the lever on, that it's pushing down on this button. Doing so without aligning this can probably bend/break that little button. I'm 95% sure this is the case because you don't mention the bike jerking forward when it cuts off. It has nothing to do with the clutch.and that the part of the new lever that contacts it is aligned correctly.
They appear to be the exact same ones you can buy on eBay from China for less $, though.Spears has some great levers. Installed on my R3 and are perfect. Fold able and adjustable! They come in 3 different colors also.

Not the same ones as what you posted, went thru a broker to find a company that would be able to supply them in a multitude of colors, and with a history of "good Business" these items are on the shelf.(well had to reorder) do the the sales, so approx 5 days out.these appear to be the same as the ones Fangshui posted ,but their cheaper

Fang, they look identical to the ebay link I posted and ordered from. I will update when I receive and install themThey appear to be the exact same ones you can buy on eBay from China for less $, though.
Correct me if I'm wrong.........
