adjustable Brake and clutch levers

Post by tclayton9 »

I can't seem to find any adjustable levers for my 1993 fzr 600. Since all I see are levers for the yzf, would they fit my fzr.

The brake side is easy - simply swap in the entire YZF lever / reservoir assembly. You'll just need to figure out how / where to mount the reservoir (there are a couple different ways to do it fairly easily).

The clutch side will be a little trickier because you need to make sure you have a cable with the correct amount of slack. I don't think the FZR clutch cable will work.

So its not a direct swap? I was hoping i could buy the 1997 yzf adjustable levers and put them on because i don't like the highly fragile ones on the fzr.

Reread my last post. That more or less sums it up.

Assuming that they are both made of equal grade aluminum, I would bet that the YZF levers are more "fragile" than the FZR ones since they have multiple parts. So... that's kind of a moot point.

Bottom line, either are perfectly fine for use if they are not damaged in any way. Otherwise, they would have never made their way onto the bike in the first place.
