davefly76 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I've fitted a new clutch lever after it broke when i dropped the bike but the new lever seems to be further away from the grip than the original. The lever is in its neutral position and operates as it should but I can only just reach it with my finger tips which makes it difficult to change gear quickly and have decent clutch control when moving slowly. Can I heat the lever, just enough to bend it without causing any problems? Or is there another way of adjusting it so that I can reach it more comfortably? Quote
Stu Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 If you try bending it chances are it will snap Some have an adjuster so you can alter the distance try looking for one on ebay not sure if any others will fit! Quote
megawatt Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 NO!!! don't bend it, buy another one with a crank in it. Loadsa Chinese ones on eBay? Quote
davefly76 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Ha! I think a heated, bent one will probably be more reliable than one from China/Taiwan Having said that though, there are some nice looking ones on eBay.. Quote
megawatt Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Well you,re wrong Dave. Every straightened one I,ve seen has snapped and five mates have nice , cheap Chinese ones on their Fireblades, none of them have bent!!! Quote
