I've got some new levers to fit to my 2016 model. Guessing the install is similar to the previous model? I've only ever done these on a ducati monster and think the hydraulic brake clutch thing is slightly different. Only instructions I can find seem to be evotech ones... Any pointers?
Which levers did you go for just out of curiosity? I'm considering the CRG RC2's at £125 or the pazzo's at £160...
Chinese generic... never tried them but happy at £40. I've had pazzo before and couldn't tell the difference in terms of quality. Time will tell if the anodizing is as good... has stainless parts so shouldn't rust...
All installed and appears to working fine. Just curious what the plunger switch is under the clutch cable? New levers do not engage it...so it is fully out... I don't think it's effecting any things as bike starts and changes through gears. Any clue?
FAIL. Don't buy the levers on eBay from France. Clutch lever dosnt engage the saftey switch... there isnt a flange or anything to make contact its been leftoo off the design. Although bike runs fine somehow it's linked to the fuel gauge.. I did some reading online and tested it... filled bike up and fuel didn't register.. pressed and held button in by hand fuel gauge then climbed to full.. clearly this switch sends a host of info to the bike. Shame really as they looked nice.. Any links to the crg ones?
Ok looking at Evotech levers for my 2016'R but they are not yet in stock. Not sure if the clutch lever has a plate to activate the clutch switch that Pabs refers to in the posts above. Contacted Evotech and awaiting their response. Has anyone fitted Evotech or Pazzo and does it have a switch activation plate i.e. clutch needs to held in while starting as with standard lever ?? Can't wait to pickup my bike this Friday. Cheers.
I spoke with evotech and they haven't made them yet. Few weeks away. Without the switch the bike starts and rides without noticeable difference...however the fuel guage goes down and dosnt go back up when adding fuel... I found some posts online that listed a whole bunch off stuff the bike dosnt do...so best get ones with the plate.. I've not found any UK stock of other levers and don't fancy international returns incase there are problems.. Hence waiting for evotech as they seem.fairly priced and they have good customer service.
UPDATE: Found a set of levers that work. Its from a seller called jaybeebikerbits, his website doesn't list the 2016 model but ebay shop has 2 versions, one standard length @£46 other is folding short/extending for a few quid more. Its only available in silver adjusters on standard length which is what I went for. Has a plate for clutch switch so bike starts and operates as normal. Easy to fit. For clutch lever you need to swap the brass pivot bush to new lever. For brake, you need to remove plunger pin from original lever and fit into new lever. Plunger pin can't be removed until you punch the hinge bush out which allows the plunger holder to be released. I also had to carefully stretch and hold the rubber gaiter on the brembo side with a couple of slim Allen keys to push plunger back into the gaiter hole. Sounds more complicated than it is. Took me 20 minutes in total. Its great quality and looks and feels as good if not better than Pazzos at 4 times the price! Ebay shop is: http://ebay.us/oyutBR
