The ASV's are a very nice piece of bike porn though, and clever too, they have moved altered the geometry of the pivot/cable achor so that it doesn't take any extra force to operate the levers (being short), just need to make sure you adjust your clutch after fitting them.......  or it doesn't engage!

Andy - the brake lever I bought from JMo is definitely a BLR41. I've just been out to shed and checked. The R must have a different perch? Uncle Ricky's warning about the extra effort required to operate a shorter clutch lever is worth heeding, IMO. The ASV levers are a lovely bit of kit, look great, and are excellent for on-road use. Offroad, I find that two fingered clutch feathering soon brings on the dreaded arm pump. For any serious offroading, I'm going to put the OE lever back on. Those with less weedy forearms than me may not find this to be a problem, of course! |

As Uncle Ricky says, the ball end is generally to stop the lever stabbing you/someone else, although it can also help stop your finger/s slipping off in really sh!tty conditions too... obviously not that many people will be entering competitions with their Teneres (although the big-bike class in clubman rally events would be fun), and as has been pointed out, with wraparound hand-guards, it shouldn't really be a problem - but rules is rules...
Anyway, for anyone else interested and more patient, here are my original cut down levers, and the ASV versions, for an idea of length... 
J xx ps. if anyone is having to use the clutch a lot off-road, I'd suggest lowering the gearing slightly - I never found the clutch action particularly heavy, even with the shorter lever... |

I'm sorry I don't have these levers any more so I can't take a photo to show you what they should look like, but it is possible that ASV have put the wrong lever in the box (it has been known!)- 5mm is way out. An easy way to tell is that basically the pivot area should be the same shape as your stock lever. I would check that the Tenere master cylinders are still the same across all years (someone on here should be able to confirm) first, then perhaps take a photo of the pivot area on the one you have, and ask ASV to confirm they have sent the correct lever? I'm sure you'll get it sorted, and they are worth it believe me x Jenny xx |

The asv lever i,ve been sent has the right part no on the box, underneath the actual lever its got BR10 F ? stamped on it, my guess is def wrong lever in the right box, the yam bush for the bolt to pass through on the lever is the correct thickness for the perch but the lever is 5mm to thick. it always happens to me! i,ll get hold of the dealer and get it sorted. its a honda cbr asv brake lever in a yamaha fjr box.
