Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Turning out of the front gate at work on Friday, I didn't give it enough berries and the bike stalled. As I was already in the turn, the bike decided it would be better to lay down and have a rest, so as a result of the landing, the brake lever broke off. Fortunately there's a silver lining to every cloud and its now given me the excuse to upgrade to Pazzos. In the interim however, I decided I would still need to use the front brake so I decided to fix it. Might not even need to replace it now

Nice fix

Yet another example of the 10 chucking itself at the ground at low speed, they are only designed to go very fast

Where's that "there I fixed it thread"?.....

OMFG !!!

what happens when you pull the bars around close to the tank??

Sorry to hear about the off. A TRE will help avoid this problem as it gives a better map for 1st gear.

As for the fix, I doubt it will hold up to hard braking.

Its still straight, so it hasn't actually changed the position of the lever itself, so it doesn't hit anything at full lock. As you say photomike, I doubt it would hold up to a great deal of hard breaking, but I'm not expecting it to. It's just to get me to and from work for a couple of weeks until I can get a new set. Speaking of that, apart from fleabay, does anyone know where I can get a cheap set of Pazzos from?

dude, emergency braking is never planned.

get a new lever asap. still get pazzo's if you want, but i wouldnt be riding with that.

nice work on the Dodgy Bros lever !! If you have to brake hard......just remember to use the inner bit OK ??

I don't think the words 'cheap' and 'Pazzo' are ever seen in the same advertisement.....

Oh and don't get Pazzo's.....What are the one's Blurr ,Madkaw and Wattie? are using?.....They are way better IMO

Aftermarket lever $17.00......... do yourself a favor & get one

im too cool for fancy levers.

Nice, thanks mate. They appear to be a bit cheaper too.
