Hi all, As the title suggests, I will be taking delivery of a new Triple R in a week or so and will be looking at changing the levers to some better quality ones. My previous bike had Pazzo levers which felt and looked very nice. Anyone know where I can get either ASV or Pazzo's to fit my bike?? I've been looking all over the internet but can't seem to find anything to fit the 2016+ model. Many thanks Mick
Pazzo lists the 16-17 model in their lever builder http://www.pazzoracing.com/build_lever.html ASV lists the c/5 levers for the 16-17 model http://asvinventions.com/SearchLevers/?mmy_mode=apply&fmake=20&fmodel=453&fyear=2016 I'm still not sure which ones to get :-D
Nah, I've just been preparing my accessory list since they announced the new model in 2016. Mine was delivered last week :-D
I've just ordered some ASV standard length ones from Sportsbike shop. This has been an expensive couple of days
Hello Mick - It might be worth double checking that ASV have physically updated the levers... I tried a pair on my 2016 R last year and the clutch lever was missing the kill switch tab...and it was a tight fit (despite installing the correct bush exactly as prescribed). It turned out that the lever was described as 2016 compatible, but they had made no modification for the updated bike. I got a full refund. I shared some photos and specs with ASV, who said they were "on it" - but after eight more weeks of "we're on it", I gave up waiting and bought this pair on eBay for £45. They turned out to be so acceptable, I've stuck with them. Here's a pic: Evotech seem a popular choice, but top of my list are these from Oberon. I saw them at the MCN motorcycle show last month and they are beautifully made - they don't list our 2016+ bike on their website, but they said they were available...albeit for £160.
Thanks for the info mate, they will arrive tomorrow so I'll have a look at them and send back if necessary. Without having my bike yet I may struggle knowing if they will be the updated version. Can you describe what the 'kill switch tab' looks like if possible so I can see if they are likely to fit. Really appreciate your advice with this, Mick
Here are some pics I sent ASV - they may have updated them by now, so fingers crossed. The tab is likely to be a separate part that screws on to the lever - that way they can manufacture levers that fit more than one bike, by including different shaped tabs. Where are you buying your bike from Mick - you might be local to me?
Thanks for the pics mate, I'm hoping they'll fit but not confident now! Bought it from Jack Lillie in Romford.
Got Sportsbike shop to check if they will fit. They contacted ASV who have stated that they will not fit the 2016+ so no use to me. No idea on when they are likely to have them either. I'm going to try either the Evotech or maybe the EBay ones. Mick
Well I'm kind of glad that my fears were actually correct, although I thought that ASV would have sorted it by now I've never seen Evotechs in the flesh, but judging by the quality of my rad guard and tail tidy, you can't go wrong if you choose that route. I'm still itching for the Oberon levers - an ideal Mother's day gift!
One of the guys at Lilley installed the adjustable/foldable version of the eBay levers on his 2016 Triple. I think his name is Ken if you were to ask to have a look. I can show you mine if you're local and it's not raining
I'll have a chat with them when I collect my bike. I've also ordered the Evotech tail tidy and rad/oil cooler guards so if their stuff is decent, I'll probably get those. You're right though, you'd think ASV would have sorted out the issue by now!
The quality and precision fit of the Evotech stuff is superb - I think we've decided...get the levers too and you won't be disappointed. Their tail tidy fits with stock or Arrow cans, so that won't cause you any trouble either. All you need is the bike
Already ordered some SC Project oval cans which arrive on Friday. Can't wait to pick her up and fit the parts. I'll get some pics up when it's all done. Thanks again for the advice mate
I fitted ASV to my 2011 Speed Triple as I wanted a change from my Pazzo but the fitting wasn't spot on I ended up going for my usual .....Pazzo and all good
Just an update on this should anyone need the info down the line.... I contacted ASV in the states and they reckon that the problem with the neutral kill switch on the 2016+ Speed Triple R has been rectified. Apparently the latest version is part number CRC541 and the clutch lever will have the above followed by the letter I (India) ingraved on it. They suggested that the UK importer Performance Parts Limited should have the latest version in stock now. I gave them a call and they confirmed the above, so I ordered them and they arrive tomorrow. Hopefully they'll fit without any problems and I'll let you know how it goes and post up some pictures. Mick
