Planing to do the same and would like some idea of what the ideal length would be Jules |
I'm not know for my patience :laughing7:
I removed the clutch lever, measured its approximate size and started cutting, I also shaped the face of the lever to provide some more finger grip. 20 minutes later and I'm a happy clam! after some technical terrain this weekend I realized this was a MUST do mod for my Ten. Can't wait to go and play/test out my new mod I know the bike is dirty but its been raining all day so no chance for a wash yet. The bit that didn't make it ;-) http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/clutch1.JPG Fitted http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/clutch2.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/clutch3.JPG http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/clutch5.JPG Perfect size http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/tenere/clutch4.JPG Jules |

If you wanted to enter any rallies with it like that then you would fail scruttinering. :newspaper: But if you don't ride competitions it does not matter just make sure your hand guards don't move around :tearyeyed: |

Andy - the brake lever I bought from JMo is definitely a BLR41. I've just been out to shed and checked. The R must have a different perch? Uncle Ricky's warning about the extra effort required to operate a shorter clutch lever is worth heeding, IMO. The ASV levers are a lovely bit of kit, look great, and are excellent for on-road use. Offroad, I find that two fingered clutch feathering soon brings on the dreaded arm pump. For any serious offroading, I'm going to put the OE lever back on. Those with less weedy forearms than me may not find this to be a problem, of course! |
As Uncle Ricky says, the ball end is generally to stop the lever stabbing you/someone else, although it can also help stop your finger/s slipping off in really sh!tty conditions too... obviously not that many people will be entering competitions with their Teneres (although the big-bike class in clubman rally events would be fun), and as has been pointed out, with wraparound hand-guards, it shouldn't really be a problem - but rules is rules...
Anyway, for anyone else interested and more patient, here are my original cut down levers, and the ASV versions, for an idea of length... http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/DSC09263.jpg http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/DSC00358.jpg J xx ps. if anyone is having to use the clutch a lot off-road, I'd suggest lowering the gearing slightly - I never found the clutch action particularly heavy, even with the shorter lever... |
This is what levers can do! - Beware if squeamish!!!

By the looks of things that lever has the proper end on - I guess with enough force anything can enter the skin:030: I have been looking at sunline levers but not sure if anyone has managed to fit these yet http://www.lgracing.co.uk/productdet...productid=3304 they are only $17 in the states and seem to come in various colour combo's not quite as nice as the other ones but functional and a lot cheaper |

I'm sorry I don't have these levers any more so I can't take a photo to show you what they should look like, but it is possible that ASV have put the wrong lever in the box (it has been known!)- 5mm is way out. An easy way to tell is that basically the pivot area should be the same shape as your stock lever. I would check that the Tenere master cylinders are still the same across all years (someone on here should be able to confirm) first, then perhaps take a photo of the pivot area on the one you have, and ask ASV to confirm they have sent the correct lever? I'm sure you'll get it sorted, and they are worth it believe me x Jenny xx |
