Replacement Brake Lever - fairly standard fits?
OK, so whilst pushing my bike into position earlier, it tipped the wrong way a bit Fortunately it was held up by the handlebars falling into a big flower pot, so no scrathes anywhere!... except the last 2cm of the front brake lever snapped off.
1) Looking on ebay for replacements, lots say their front levers suit up to 04 and 06 models... have there been any changes that would mean they wouldn't fit my 08? 2) How come the clutch levers aren't adjustable? Any reason not to have an adjustable clutch lever? |

Re: Replacement Brake Lever - fairly standard fits?
The clutch levers aren't adjustable as it's a budget bike, not sure if that's the right term but it makes it more expensive so it comes without.
Wouldn't have thought the brake levers have changed since 2006. |

Looking on Alpha Sports, the part numbers are different for the 08 SV's from the earlier models. http://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm It seems though that they are the same as on the DL and other Suzuki models.

I believe a clutch lever from another bike fits and is adjustable.
