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'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

Anybody tried the ASV levers Jenny recommended with KTM handguards?

Or does anybody know how the regular length ASV clutch lever compares to the stock lever in length? I had to file quite a bit out of the stock lever to make it fit nice under the handguard and chopping the nice ASV lever would not be ideal...

I have the ASV's with Barkbusters.

The levers are much shorter than stock, you can squeeze three fingers onto them, but two is comfortable.
