The asv lever i,ve been sent has the right part no on the box, underneath the actual lever its got BR10 F ? stamped on it, my guess is def wrong lever in the right box, the yam bush for the bolt to pass through on the lever is the correct thickness for the perch but the lever is 5mm to thick. it always happens to me! i,ll get hold of the dealer and get it sorted. its a honda cbr asv brake lever in a yamaha fjr box.

When I purchased ASV levers for my WR250R via a nice shop in the USA, I had to fix the brake lever before I could use it. Well, it did fit, but there was no brake light actuation, due to the fact the pivot design was totally different. I used liquid metal to create the shape I needed to get brake light operational. No idea why this expensive type of lever would be provided for a dual sport bike which is definitely equipped with a brake light.

Hi Phil - that's interesting that they didn't include it, particularly if it was specific for the bike?

Of course some levers will [physically] fit a range of perches, and certainly one of the ones I had (can't remember if it was brake or clutch) came with a collection of collars for the pivot bolt (as it fitted both a Honda and Yamaha as I recall, just the diameter of the bolt was different), plus a couple of different shaped tabs that screwed on with grub-screws to activate the micro switch... seems they haven't considered that for the WRR version?

Glad you were able to sort it, but like you say, it is something ASV should address if the current product doesn't have the correct profile for the application...

i know this horribly off topic JMo, but where did you get the foams and is it a specific type for the Tenere? Always fancied them for `blinging` up my bars, without resorting to pink :)

And how easy/hard were they to install?

And stupid question but how do they fair in wet weather(prone to that up in Scotland :))

I remember foam grips - they were de rigueur in the 80s, I had them on my 350LC, nice blue ones. Soaked up water like a sponge, made your gloves soggy and took days to dry out!! Mind you they might be more high-tech these days??

Hee hee - I can't recall exactly where I got the grips, but they were a job lot at a shop or show or something. You might try Busters or one of the online/ebay type sellers?

They are very easy to install - basically once the old grips are off, you just smear some grip glue (I like the evo-stick kind that you use for MX grips) inside, and slide them on - you do really need the glue with grips like these.

As for wet weather - yes, they do soak it up like a sponge - but conversely, they also dry out pretty quick too, like a sponge. The good thing is they do still offer grip when wet, but this is another reason why you need to glue them on.

I really like them, and use them on all my race bikes - they do feel fat in the hand at first, but they make a huge difference over a long distance and with vibrations...

Go for it!

i wonder if i could make these fit....

hmmmmm.

I like the fact, that even rallye drivers recommend these grips :)
I got mine approx. in year 2000 for a different bike and reused them on the Tenere. They are extremely durable. No ordinary rubber grip would handle such a long period of usage. I believe they are "Oxford foam grips".
No need for bar end weights. Those grips are awesome for lengthy rides. As glue I use Teroson Terokal 2444, specially dedicated for glueing foam rubber to metal. Once applied, I never had to worry again, no matter what rain and stuff. This kind of glue is easily available at least in Germany, and it proved kind of useful in my garage. Here is an old and quite outdated image showing my foam grips. Best grips available for the Tenere. Troublesaver.
As JMo says: Go for it!

these should do okay by the looks of it :)

Now all i need to do is figure out how to take off stock grips without destroying them......and put the new foam ones on neatly....and then source the KTM hand-guards and try to put them on too :)

Got to learn somewhere...
