Note the clutch lever comes with a removable tab to attuate the cut-out switch for starting the bike in gear - so you can retain that function as required (I'd already disconnected the wiring on mine anyway). xxx |

Maybe it's paranoia, but it's just one less thing to go wrong x
I don't like over complicated electrics (being used to my XRs that really only have a couple of wires in the whole loom!) - lets say, for example, you had a crash/drop and/or got the switch clogged up with mud - you might find you had to put the bike into neutral before it would start... admittedly not a problem you might come across in day to day riding, but might be tricky out on the trail if stuck in a precarious position? Likewise I also disconnected (and removed) the side stand cut out switch as that is in a potentially vulnerable position and can drag through a lot of muck off road, and might start to cause problems? - for example I understand some DRZ400S owners have noticed that when you go over a big bump, the sidestand jumps on it's mount and momentarily cuts the ignition... Again, if it ain't there, it can't break or go wrong? xxx |

love the look of these levers. Don't know why motorbike manufacturers don't go to the same effort that mountain bike guys do. Loads of good stuff on the market and with a wee bit of negotiation one manufacturer could get a jump on the rest for next to nowt. I suppose KTM do try harder than the rest but seem to pass on the extra cost and then some.
Anyway, I'm thinking of fitting heated grips and possibly new levers but wondering about getting new bars before I start the fangle process! I notice you have protaper bars JMo and wonder what type they are and dimmensions? Seen a few options but if I go for fat bars I will need new clamps etc. Have you stuck with 22mm and a cross brace? What's the crack with fitting end weights to aftermarket bars? Any info greatly appreciated, cheers. |

I recently bought one of these to fit to my XTR. I ordered a BRC541S to fit an 06-08 FZ1 but the mounting is different. It is stamped underneath with the number BLR41. Can you tell me if there is a number stamped on the underside of the aluminium piece the mounts to the brake master cylinder on yours and if so what is that number? Many thanks Andy Last edited by agricon; 14-10-10 at 20:25. |

Hi Andy - I don't have these levers anymore - I sold them to someone on here (might have been GLUGo, it was a while ago now)...
However, from what you are saying (and what is stamped on the lever in your photo), I'd say you've got the wrong one - as I was pretty certain the part numbers I've quoted in my original post were what was stamped on the levers too? Maybe someone put the wrong lever in the box - what is the number on the box they came in? Also, I'm presuming the XTR has the same master cylinder as the Tenere (XTZ)?, as the part numbers I quoted were specifically for the Ten'... Sorry I can't be of more help... J xx |

For the record, it seems they don't fit the XTX, the brake cylinder seems to be the opposite way around.. glad i didnt order them, nasty price $450 for the pair here in Aus!

thanks very much for your reply. The number on the box is a BRC541S however the piece that attaches the lever to the master cylinder clamp is way different to the one you had in your photos to the one i was supplied. I checked with my local dealer and he thought they were the same on the R & Z. Anyway what I need to do is find out the number stamped on the piece between the lever and the clamp. I know its not a BLR41 
Thanks for your help anway
