Front brake lever.

Post by ditton »

Hello all.......
Well after a small set down on weekend, I broke the front brake lever off..perch ok though (interesting as I fell to left/clutch side, have bark busters, nothing to hit....only thought was hand as I stepped away...hmmm)......didn't realize how much I missed the front brake the rest of the day, made riding hard as I kept reaching for front brake...Anyway, just wondering if anyone has used anything other than the oem/replacement type and have any recommendations.
I tried an shorty type (mx type) that I had sitting around of jr's RM...it felt good but shape kept catching/locking on throttle when applied....

Any thoughts and thanks in advance....

I use both an MSR set and a Moose set. They have the black rubber patch on the front of them.
I like them both, but the Moose set is a little shorter.

I have a set of moose shortys and a set of sunline shorty's, I prefer the sunline but the are more expensive. you should always have an extra set of clutch and brake levers.

I bought sunlines unbreakabke lever/perch set for my son's KTM 125. The stock clutch is hydrolic and they wanted something silly like $50 for it. Sunlines unbreakable set was $80 if I recall. Figure if it saves two breaks I'm ahead!

If $6 was an option I would have taken it!

Nice, but my point was that I was buying a clutch lever for a 2012 KTM 125 SX...those are not $6.

Well shoot a monkey. Glad I'll never have to buy another lever anyways.
