Clutch lever
I've gone for some cheap adjustable levers as an old injury to my left hand means that over time I struggle with standard clutch levers on most bikes.
I fit the brake lever and that is spot on. The clutch lever however doesn't seem to have the tab which contacts the clutch switch. I have a very late model pointy sv 650 on a 63 plate. Looking at other clutch levers, it looks like one for a gladius is more likely to be the right one as it has the tab but I'm not sure Has any one else found this with late model pointy SV's?

Re: Clutch lever
Hope some one can point you to a lever you want.I personally don't have the Clutch lever switch on my bikes.Mine are shorted across and removed.
As my hands age I've developed a,"Thumb -Over" technique on my Clutch hand to rest it when out of traffic and at steady speed.By this I mean I raise my thumb from under the grip to on top and rest it and bring it back down when I know I'm going to need it. These little bits of,"Rests" help a great deal I've found and the technique soon becomes 2nd nature. I also have a,"Vista" cruise control on my Throttle side which I use from time-to-time :) https://i.imgur.com/J5sWfXi.jpg HTH :) |
Re: Clutch lever
unfortunately its entirely hit and miss as even gladius levers get sent without the tab sometimes in my experience. where abouts are you located as i may have one lying around?
best not to short the switch on the late model pointies as it messes them up when decelerating and stalls them. |

But I think I may have sussed it. I saw this on eBay and matched this pic to my original lever and the layout is identical. It's just been delivered so I'll have a look when I get home.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d79b6b4be3.jpg Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Right, I've just tried the lever adapter and it's spot on. So if you have a late pointy sv you need the clutch lever for a gladius. See pic Bottom is the original lever Middle is the new lever with the gladius adapter Top is the SV650 adapter that came with the new lever. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b4813a9848.jpg Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |
