I've already gone through a few sets of levers this year from dumping my bike. Anyone else had this problem? Did you figure out a solution (other than not crashing )?

One of my friends recommended trying to modify ASV unbreakable MX levers so they would work on my 900RR. http://asvinventions.com/levers_order/

I was thinking of either doing that or maybe shaving of the ends of the levers so that my barends hit the ground first if I happen to dump the bike.

Let me know what you think. Lata

 

cut them shitz

 

one word..................Duct tape

 

nick's right, cut em and smooth the ends out. I cut about 1.5-2" off my front brake and i use a MSR shorty for a clutch

 

yup cut em and make sure your bikes set up so it doesnt roll on its tank

 

yeah that depends on what kinda cage u got powers on a 900 will role to the tank every time...not sure about a freestyle on a 900 but i know they have been known to break motor mounts. i run 905 seems to work best for the 900, all bikes have different cages that work best with them

 

im getting the asv handles.....if you do break a lever or perch they replace it for free.

 

I've NEVER broken a lever, but i've broken the mount clean off the master cylinder perch, shattered my kill switch/start button assembly on the right clip-on, and anihilated the high-low beam/turn signal assembly on the left clip-on. All in seperate crashes...I think I just have wierd luck.

 

The brake lever i cut short. Leave just enough for 2 fingers.

The clutch side I cut short too, but I will be replacing it with one of those EZ pull levers, which are alot shorter and usually 'un-breakable'

 

whats up with those easy pull levers i never herd of them before, i think im getting carpuls tunnel from clutching with one finger all night long

 

yeah o agree with mostly everyone else about cutting them. I just cut them in half (enough for two fingers) and then just smooth it out with a grinder

 

cool, thanks for your help guys
i will trim 'em down this weekend - peace

 

they make a setup for dirt bikes its a little chrome box that u run inline with your clutch cable it make it so its easier to pull the clutch in, cause u know how hard it is to pull in a stiff clutch with one finger they run like 30 bucks i think it kinda works like a pully system ya know, gse anthony bought one is pretty nice.

 

damit y didnt anyone tell me this before? i need 4 of them... what web site should i look in?

 

i broke my clutch lever when i fell of my ninja and still rode home with more than half of clutch lever missing man were my forearms hurtin dam those weak made clutch lever

 

Look up the MSR Raptor clutch levers. They come in a shorty and they have a setting that supposidly makes the clutch pull 300% easier. Some of the guys down here just told me about them and it's definately a lot easier\comfortable to pull with 2 fingers. :YEAH

If you can't find them on the internet I know the stuntex.com website sells them too
