2020 MT09 | ASV Lever Install and First Impressions

[@UrbanMoto]

Would you spend $250 on a set of levers?

[@MrWolf2212]

Yes. I plan on getting them for my Mt10. Quality stuff ain't cheap

[@UrbanMoto]

@@MrWolf2212 100% but totally worth it!

[@loosechain1997]

Nah, bought some Vortex instead. I agree that Amazon ones are a no no, But I disagree with the prices of ASV. Solid vid!!!! Look forward to more mods on the MT-09. By the way I think the service manual calls for grease on the bushings you installed. Not sure if you added that. Don't want those expensive levers binding on you.

@@loosechain1997 how do you like the vortex levers? Thought about buying those

[@loosechain1997]

@@codykimrey2546 I love them, I have no issues whatsoever. They have been on the bike now for about 9,000 miles with no issue. Install was easy and fit up perfectly.

Using 4 fingers on your brand spanking new 2 finger levers. 👍

[@soldiers303]

isnt the whole point of these levers is that they can be adjusted? If they are too far out then, it defeats the purpose.

[@orangeplaneteer]

Yup. Everything done in America. From the first block of metal to the letters on the blades. This product was invented, assembled and sold in America. It improves EVERYTHING about a stock lever. 5 year warranty? Yes please. 🤘 ASV rocks!

[@enrique7934]

Pretty sure ASV did not invent levers.

[@orangeplaneteer]

@@enrique7934 of course not. But they most certainly did INVENT, patent and market Unbreakable Levers before anyone else in the game.

[@markhall3434]

I have an ASV track Loader... they make great MC Levers too..

[@broderp]

They are $300 now. And you should never cut corners, you skipped both Loctite and proper lubrication of the new bushings and moving joints.

[@Rigrroll]

Radguard levers are also high quality. Made in Australia of aircraft grade aluminum and 316 stainless hardware. Cost around $200.00 cad 😊

[@darrylbray6919]

Should have greased them,any metal to metal needs lubrication to prevent dry seizures

[@rudyf2387]

Have the exact ones on my z650, game changers!

[@Americanblood76]

You have to adjust your clutch lever free play. The saying goes you should be able to put a nickel in between the bracket and the lever. I saw you have yours to tight.

[@UrbanMoto]

Yea I adjusted them after the video 🤣👍🏻

[@mage1915]

​@@UrbanMoto how you adjust them tho? Thankyou

[@bigduphusaj162]

​@@mage1915 these levers are garbage they have no adjustability bar distance. They dont even activate your brake switch at the right time so they are dangerous. They have no customer service either so avoid them

great video .thanks

[@babbittron]

I was looking at getting a shorty clutch lever and regular brake lever for my z650, but I bought a street triple rs instead. Best solution I could think of 🤣

[@UrbanMoto]

Hahaha yea a street triple is for SURE the way to go over the Z650 haha

[@tg8150]

I’ve purchased 4 sets of “Amazon levers”, put over 30K miles on them with ZERO issues. They work just as good as ASV or CRG. You talk like they’ll break apart in your hands- they won’t.🙄

[@UrbanMoto]

Ever been down on one? Not saying they don’t “work” functionally BUT talk longevity and warranty :-)

[@tg8150]

@@UrbanMoto down on one? No, cuz they work just fine. Never greased one either. ASV/CRG are very nice but they’re no better. They cost more cuz they’re made in USA.

[@anhlongle2972]

Totally agreed the CNC levers come from China work just as good as ASV. The price for ASV is too expensive and not worth it, just only the levers not the whole thing. Where i'm living with 320-340 USD, you can get a 2nd hand RCS 19 Corsa Corta Master Cylinder and Galespeed Clutch in good condition.

[@BodybuildingSteve]

You could snap a pair of Amazon levers and replace them 4 times for the cost of a single pair of asvs, defo seem like overpriced imo

[@jonathanjr1894]

Everyone has their own idea of what makes sense. Some would spend the extra money and some don't mind paying for the cheaper option and replace 4x in the life of one good set. I just picked up a pair of avs cause I personally prefer not to get cheap shit put on a bike I ride a lot.

[@o8xszil]

i got those amazon ones that say mt09 on them, great feel and was able to adjust close to grip, 80 bucks

[@UrbanMoto]

Just be careful. Sometimes the Chinese metal is brittle. I know lots of folks that have had them break with regular use.

[@wesleyalexander7455]

Nice levers.

[@UrbanMoto]

Thanks 😎

[@dmatmor]

Where is the Greasing needed ?

[@codykimrey2546]

CRG Levers are about $10 cheaper and I’ve heard great things. What are the advantages of ASV over CRG if any?

[@orangeplaneteer]

Both are quality, made in California, by racers. CRG had the on the fly adjustment first. ASV had the unbreakable design patented first. So CRGs had to be different. Worse or better? There's not much to a lever pivot. So I think it would come down to preference or specific factors of a spill. Both are quality and worth their price.

[@chuck1622]

@@orangeplaneteer I believe ASV has has way more precise increments and more increments of adjustability.

[@bigduphusaj162]

​@@chuck1622good one. ASVs only adjustability is distance and they never fit correctly or activate brake and clutch switch at the correct time. They dont have any customer service either they even ignore their outlets. Garbage show-offs levers avoid.

[@eebayraktar]

15 euros aliexpress. Been riding with them for over 3 years, no problem. If you want to pay 250 go ahead😂

[@ernestoguitron5851]

Do you still have the original levers?

[@adamgphotography6616]

What mirrors are those?

[@UrbanMoto]

Micro circle mirrors from Revzilla

[@markbenson7670]

What was the block you screwed onto the lever with the 2 screws

[@orangeplaneteer]

A lever is three parts. The "blade" is the part your fingers touch. This is the model #. Then there's the joint. Then there's the year/make/model specific "knee", which is what bolts to the bike. The knee is what actuates the clutch cable and/or MC. And the front brake MC. The blade is what you pull on.

[@bigduphusaj162]

clutch switch pillar. Avoid these levers they never fit correctly and dont activate your brake switch correctly and have zero customer service they even ignore their biggest outlets.

I’ve had both brands MZS does a fantastic job at providing a high quality product for a fraction of the price. These are 100% overpriced

How you finding the MZS levers 6 months on?

[@iamtheiceman]

Expensive levers. Even more ridiculous expensive shipping. Total price not worth it.

[@davewijland5108]

No grease??😂

[@UrbanMoto]

Grease is for the weak! (Also I greased it again the next day 😂)

[@m2ugu824]

$250??!!!! Man…. Not sure where you got them from but you payed $100 extra..

[@UrbanMoto]

Revzilla $125 each. Where can you get both for $150?

[@tg8150]

I think he’s confused. ASV makes the same levers, the F3- they’re cast, not forged but look identical. You can get those for $180/pair. But no one has new ASV’s for $150/pair.

[@bigduphusaj162]

Garbage levers. One size fits all garbage that never fits any one bike right. The newer knuckles are badly made and rarely fit the master cylinder plunger gap correctly so you cannot dial in the correct free play. They cant even get the R1, the most popular big sportsbike on earths knuckle to fit right, it doesnt even reach the brake switch correctly and you cannot fit a Jubilee switch as they are "Normally closed" type switch. They ignore you and dont reply to emails even the biggest UK stockist Calsport cannot get any customer services out them whatsoever. Avoid!!
