OEM Brake Levers

[Geoff S]

Morning all. My first post on here so I shall make it an anorak one...

I have a 97 vtr fireblade forks, calipers and master cylinder/controls (2000-2001). I am looking for a replacement front brake lever (which I know isn't difficult; there are loads on Ebay). I have bought one which said it was OEM but having got it I am pretty sure it is a frozen cheese covered in shiny stuff type cheapy not OEM. The existing one on the bike, which I think is OEM, has 6 adjustment points, the new one 5 (by which I mean the dial has 1-5 on it rather than 1-6)

Anyway to my anorak question...

The lever being the same, I am fairly reliably informed, as an SP1 Sp2 lever. Does anyone know how many adjustments there should be on an OEM lever? I ask as it would might help filter out the fake genuine tosh floating about (which are what appear when I google...)

Cheers

Geoff

Howdy there Geoff and welcome from sunny Suffolk sorry can't answer your question but I'm shore someone will know and point you in the right direction.

Thanks Magnum. Good to finally break the post cherry.

I am not going to lose sleep over this but comparing the two levers made me wonder...

It's been so long since I've had standard levers that I can't remember how many adjustment clicks there are.

Welcome, I'm sure someone will have an answer.

As you have Fireblade front end & gubbins presumably you'll need a Fireblade lever - Have you tried David Silvers for an original blade lever rather than ebay were they are mainly pattern items?

[Geoff S]

Thanks Wicky. I will look them up. Seems the path of least resistance.

Hello and welcome.

as I have Titex levers I cant help you with the question on how many adjuster clicks they have [but I think it was 5!], but as long as it is not the radial master cyl off the new fireblades, the lever will be the same part number between Storm & Blade
