Think I was reversed into, Clutch lever now hanging by cable only, I have a Y-Reg (2001) curvy. Can anyone advise what clutch leaver is needed for me to replace it with, best p-lace to get one (ebay etc), and how much) and is it an easy job ?
great return from holiday !

Cheers

depending on how old your bike is. There's loads of levers on eBay including a lot of coloured/carbon look ones. Take your pick. As for fitting one :?

Not my thing.

Levers are going for stupid money on ebay at the mo.
Would only take 10 minutes to swop.
OE levers are stronger than the pattern ones but pattern make good spares. I've been meaning to zip tie my spares to the inside of the sub frame.

Liz bought a pair of pattern levers ( Front brake and clutch ) for her naked curvey SV

IIRC £22 from Demon Tweaks.

So have they snapped the lever mount? If so, then you will need to buy one of them. Try www.suzukispares.co.uk Fast mail order.

Pretty much. Release the tension in the cable, replace lever, re-adjust clutch tension.
If you're strong enough you can do it without all that but be careful of breaking a nail...
Need I say a haynes or workshop manual close at hand is a good idea ;)

If the mounting points fubared you could always do the adjustable lever mod, see here (http://www.sv650.org/sv_faq.htm#adjustable clutch lever).

As a side note the clutch leaver from a ZX10 wont fit ;)
