I've been searching the web (and this site) for a picture of an ASV brake lever on a naked SV650. I've seen plenty of ASV clutch lever pictures, but none on the brake side. If you have one showing the brake side, I would appreciate it if you posted it up here.

dont think this is on a sv but gives you an idea.

 

[BRShooter]

Sorry. This is as close up as I have.

The secks factor is high.

Look for pics of ASCSurveyor's bike. He has the ASV's on there.

Working on it... internet here at work is slow for some reason...

I realize you said "naked", but not sure if you meant stock naked or converted naked. I'm helping as much as you can.

Why only pics of the brake lever side? Usually it's the clutch people have problems with. :dontknow:

Thanks to everyone for the pictures and replies. I was looking for a picture of the brake side because I wanted to see if it replaces the brake fluid reservoir. The naked bikes have the block style reservoirs, so I'm assuming I would have to switch to cup type... or does this just replace the lever and not whole assembly like it does on the clutch side? Pardon my ignorance!

Im pretty sure you wouldnt have to switch master cylinders.

 

[ASCSurveyor]

Check the ASV website, or give them a call, and find out. They're good people. Just see if the part number is the same between the N and the S.

 

[raab02]

I don't understand why...

A) Levers are so expensive

B) I consider them so freaking sweet.

C) I'm considering them as a future mod despite the ridiculous cost.

Exactly! I got my ASV levers (short brake/regular clutch) a while back and still haven't been able to get the clutch lockout switch to work. Any suggestions? I tried replacing the switch but nothing.

 

[ASCSurveyor]

I was sick of the excuses for not having a working clutch lever, so I got a Katana perch and used it with the lever (part numbers are the same).

 

[BRShooter]

I didn't have any problems with my clutch lever. IIRC the lever came with a little tab that you had to install before installing the lever. The lever came with different tabs for different bikes. Maybe that's the problem?

 

[ASCSurveyor]

The excuse they gave me, and all I was told, was that the original design was for a bike with a hydraulic clutch. Since the 650 has a cable clutch, they had to redesign. When I gave up and went with the Katana perch, they'd been giving that same excuse for about a year.

one thing I don't get is how they claim their levers are unbreakable because they fold on impact. They fold in the wrong way (forwards) instead of upwards. If you look at broken levers you'll see most of them snap because they are being bent upwards, not forward.

 

[ASCSurveyor]

Yeah. But they're guaranteed. So if they do break, they get replaced. :thumbsup:

but that won't help me on saturday night qualifying for a sunday race, or when I'm 2000 miles away from home in the twisties.

 

[ASCSurveyor]

A stock lever will?

Or a Pazzo?
