Anyone know of a lever with a sharper bend that can be made to work with an XB9S cable. My fingers are a little to short to reach comfortably to the lever when its fully disengaged. Has anyone else experienced this? I have been riding dirt bikes for years and I am used to having the tips of my first two fingers on the lever all of the time (brake lever too). Is this too much to ask of these bikes, or am I spoiled and have to deal with this issue. |

Put a KAWASAKI clutch lever part number 46076-1165 and front brake lever part number 13236-1185 to match ... To get the clutch lever to work you will have to "IMPROVISE" a little ... You have to take the plastic holder off the clutch switch wires and use the two outer pins on the KAWASAKI clutch lever ... "AND" you have to DRILL out the clutch cable end hole so the BUELL cable end will fit ... The KAWASAKI levers are adjustible for SHORT FINGERS !!! (Message edited by buellistic on April 02, 2006) |

Buellistic thanx so much for the part #s - I've been wondering about how to ID that matching clutch lever for a coupla months now. My brother & I own 3 M2s between us & have wanted to upgrade our LH sides - we've long used the aftermarket [$14] brake levers with great results..... followup Q: what Kaw model[s] do the clutch levers fit? I wanna buy MotionPro or other aftermarket pieces [cheaper times 3] & am watching my sheckels..... |

The levers are available from ronayers.com, (no affiliation) at $35.42 for the clutch lever and $35.91 for the matching brake lever. They are black with four position adjustment. As noted above, very nice levers. |

I would just like a plain old aluminum lever. |

Ragnagwar thanx for the RA info - it illustrates my point - widely available $14 aftermarket levers are less than 1/2 that $35 price anyone know to which Kaw model[s] the OEM clutch lever is applied? |

Firstbuell, I agree with your statement regarding the $14.00 aftermarket lever, but only as it applies to the brake lever. The price stated for the clutch side is not just a lever but a complete replacement assembly including switch. The 2002-2004 ZX600 as well as many other models use the units in question.
