AdamFozz Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hey everyone. Bought some cnc levers from china. The are titax look a likes! Put them on today and they look good but the brake doesn't feel as solid as the clutch. Has anyone else bought any? Do yours feel the same. I seem to remember the clutch feeling more solid as standard since it has no adjustment on the lever but the brake wasn't this wobbly. It's not wobbly between the stem and the bike. It seems to be between the adjuster and the stem. I would love to hear your experiences. Adam_fozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted May 11, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2011 Considering for the sake of a busted spoke i'm having both of the wheels on my TDR rebuilt i'm probably the type of person you don't want a reply from. Cheap levers! How about a what if, sat at the lights waiting for the off and the clutch lever fails , entering your favourite bend, and the brake lever fails Sorry, i like to know my bike is right, if i had doubts like your having with, well, life affecting components. They would be in the bin. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamFozz Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I agree that the brakes aren't the type of thing you want to mess with, but people swear by titax and prezzo levers and they are all made in china too. There isn't really a whole lot that can go wrong with the levers that couldn't go wrong with the oem part, I just worry that (like anything you buy) there might be a fault. I have let the seller know anyway and have requested a new lever. Still interested in the quality level of other peoples cnc levers though.

Does the Brake feel as solid as the clutch? Adam_Fozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nets Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I fitted pazzos to my MT, brake lever was an exact fit, had to use an FZ1000n clutch lever mount to get a clutch lever to fit as they don't make a straight swap for the MT-03,no probs with anything.

yamahait Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Does the Brake feel as solid as the clutch? Adam_Fozz yeah,no play anywhere,i had to push out a brass bush from original lever and fit to new lever for pivot bolt,i am assuming the play is from the pivot bolt.

I thought this was a possibility but on the xj6 there isnt a bush on the brake side, only the clutch lever has a bush, Adam_Fozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
