Replacing front indi and rear brake lever - SV650.org

10-04-06, 12:11 PM

Howdy folks, not been on for ages, hope everyone is well.

Can anyone give me a run down of what's involved in removing and replacing both the front indi and rear brake lever. I've sourced the parts and they were bloody expensive so thought I'd save some money and fit them myself.

Is the front indi a front fairing removal or can I get in from in under the fork side?

I posted about selling a while back and once these are replaced she'll be up for sale again so I'll post some pics.

Thanks.

handily done.

can be done with a bit of fiddling without removing panels.

I was going to replace front indicators yesterday. I don't think you need to remove front fairing, but it's a damn sight easier to work on, if you do.
I have some mini-ish indicators from Hein-Gericke and was going to change, but after fiddling and taking them off, it leaves a rather large hole where the rubber boot (back of indicator) comes out.
The ones I had weren't going to fit without a lot of pi**ing around so I put the originals back!

I'm technically minded, and can usually sort a problem, but that seemed to much hassle just to change to smallers for the sake of it!!

(Least they can still see me turning
