Brake Lever (SV650)

[horsemeatscandal]

Morning all,

Like all the best riders, I managed to drop my first ever and new-to-me bike yesterday, as soon as I got it home. Fortunately, the only damage is minor scuff on the exhaust (not too fussed) and snapped the end off the brake lever which I’m going to replace. Thing is, I’m struggling to find the part online but I’m thinking some parts, especially from one manufacturer, are generic. The closest I could find (apart from an expensive and black-therefore-not-a-matching-pair one on the Suzuki website) is this: http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/suzuki/sv_650_sal2/12-...

So the question is, will that fit my bike? That apparently fits models from ‘12-‘15, possibly the S model if I can make sense of it which mine isn’t, mine is a normal ‘16.

Any help appreciated.

Nevermind folks, think I’ve got it found:

I think pretty much any Suzuki lever for a non radial master cylinder will fit your bike, they are around £8 for a pattern one and £25 for an OE one.

I've got a right hand side lever from my 2003 SV 650 - if it would fit you can have it FOC, just pay postage.

Find out if it will fit, if it will message me and I'll get it sent off to you.

Massively appreciate the offer but Fowler’s Parts is telling me it won’t fit, no point wasting your time and resources. Thanks though.

Part ordered, be here Thursday. Job done.

Thanks for the replies.

Make sure the distance between the bolt and the master cylinder point is the same otherwise you'll alter the pressure on the m/cyl. Not a problem if it's less pressure (as long as it's adequate) but if it's pressing on the m/cyl then the brakes will be slightly applied, they'll heat up as you ride and eventually they'll seize.

There is a (long long ago) reason that I know about this.
