Rear brake levers

**Boosted** · 9th December 2009, 14:48

So people, bent it twice now, really not keen to pay $200.70 for a genuine yamaha lever, anyone know of one lying around in a wreakers, or maybe a aftermarket one that could source from the states?

Or even someone who could bend it back into shape

Thoughts?

Cheers

Learn to ride bro!

I guess it beats dropping the Gixxer though!

Source an aftermarket one from say.. watsons racing? $40 maybe? I went through so many on my YZ.. Sucked.

having to remember its the rear foot one, not handle bars, there would b no way there would be one for $40 lol....

might give them a call tho, was there buying sprokets and chains hahaha

and dude, already dropped it haha.... good ol oggy knobs saved it pretty much tho

heat it up and bend it back

**Boosted** · 9th December 2009, 14:58

Tis what ive been told, that might be the only option.... not paying 200 for a lil bit of metal, fuck that....

Why not try fixing it yourself? Nothing to lose really.

Applying heat makes a difference - oven, gas torch or camp fire - even just a little - makes it much less likely to snap

then once you fix it get one of those wire things that attach to it so it can't bend to far

Bend it back, if it breaks ... Weld it.. ive seen some for $40 just got to remember where

**AllanB** · 9th December 2009, 15:57

Alloy or steel?

You could easily weld up a new one using the existing spline mount. Maybe put a folding tip on it to take some of the force next time.
