HOW TO: Install Levers on Yamaha R6 - Shorty Adjustable Clutch & Brake Levers

How to Install Adjustable Short Levers (Clutch+Brake) on Yamaha R6!

________
In this "How To" video, I install new short adjustable clutch and brake levers on my 2014 Yamaha R6. Straight forward and easy install for the most part. The most difficult part is unseating the clutch cable.*
Note: If either side seems too tight or too loose, adjusting the bolt and nut where the levers pivot around is probably your solution. Can't make them too tight, as they won't release the levers fully back out, and can't make them too loose, as the levers will be wobbly and loose as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to drop them in the comment below, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge.
Hope it helps! As always, thanks for watching. Ride safe out there, and stay vigilant!

BEER ME?
Lots of people say the channel has helped them in some way, be it the "How To" videos (mostly,) or other random episodes. I constantly get messages from people saying they'd love to buy me a beer. That's awesome! I love beer. If you're one of those people, feel free to add to the beer fund!

It still gives you a similar look at what it would be like I have such handlebars or related items on your bike

[@tommmarree3689]

Good video Block! I admire your simple hands on repair/Install on your videos. With KZbin today, anyone could pretty much do any repair/install if you have the tools, AND the COURAGE to just do it. Delboy's Garage has a host of hands on videos as well. Still liking those BLOCKHEAD stickers my friend! Keep up the great work, very nice channel.....

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks Tomm! Yeah I'm like Delboy's Garage a lot, been on there a few times for some tips!

[@gagebeckwith2250]

No grease needed?

[@AUTOT3KHCL]

I had to try them to believe they made a difference. i tried some shorty levers on a yamaha i had and was pleased with the feel!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Yeah they're nice! Much better feel than the stock ones

[@lamesquadtv863]

Any matching grips i can buy

[@JDC_Portraits]

You have a beautiful organized tool kit set

[@unnameduserr]

Excellent walkthrough, just put mine on and had no issues. Even the clutch wire popped in and out smoothly.

[@hoodprep09]

[@e115zombies121]

[@jassahota5443]

[@Tracks777]

Nice video! Keep it up!

[@mrmagillacutty1]

Thanks for the video...I am gonna do the same type of videos tomorrow!

[@aubriannacrowe905]

Thank you for this great video 👌🏻 I needed this

[@garygibson8408]

If you don’t bleed 🩸, did you even work on your bike? Keep the videos coming

[@7245bcw]

Did you have to grease them up initially or later due to ceasing up at all?

[@daryljohnson162]

nope, just slap em on

[@TheScratchOffKing]

Nice vid bro!! I subscribed!!

[@imjustlivinglife1747]

Yo I'm a local. Just got a r6. Let's ride some time. Great vids btw

[@lazgyrorider3894]

[@Weez2010]

Keep it up buddy

[@jotelapico5004]

Thanks for the video bro

[@keithshepard4467]

hey man what year r6 is that ? do you think it matters if you get shorty clutch levers for a 2016 r6 an place them on a 2017 r6 ?

[@roughneck145]

Thanks for dyi video helped alot.

[@Dunnsobe]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@pcascio]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[@jorgeortiz7612]

Nice vid , gotta change that brake fluid though bro

[@andymoss17]

Hey mines does not roll freely. How to adjust it I tried just about everything

[@rmblsti]

this looks so damn familiar is this naples florida

[@magicgee9624]

What if when you push the clutch lever and the bike doesn’t move forward? Bike shifts good and can put it into neutral. But when I try to leave it in first gear and press on the clutch to move the bike forward it’s extremely difficult to do so?

[@ItsSuperiorr]

Hey man so I’m having an issue where my lever is sitting on the brake button and my brake lights are on the whole time. Any help?

[@papisaint4551]

ItsSuperior samee

[@ItsSuperiorr]

sainthaze so I figured it out. The lever was just cheap. I bought there lever and it fixed my whole issue. So my guess is to get there lever because it works for me brother

[@lobofang9362]

looks nice!

[@Griseb4nk]

Do you think it fits on my Yamaha Tzr (2015)?

[@zidliym9702]

Thx the vid helped

[@danilocapellan1316]

Excellent thanks 👍🏼

[@Estebanb450]

Did you lower the bike?

[@BaggerBro]

hello Mr. Glock!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Pew pew!

[@chanthanchea815]

Where can I buy/get the little plastic piece from the clutch lever if it’s broken?

[@chanthanchea815]

For a 2004 Yamaha R6. Great video by the way!

[@ChosenLeader]

i got mine back on but can’t tighten that clutch bolt help?

[@5Thirty]

Bike brakes when I turn left is there a fix?

[@Jikkozilla]

thank you :D

[@williamj2494]

man your channel is fucking dope!

[@jyungbrklyn]

What tools you using i need to order it

[@yousaltyd0g25]

I installed some on my 2016 CBR 600rr and a few days later my front brakes locked up on me. I got them to release but not sure what to do from here...

[@brianrivera846]

What did you do to fix this problem?

[@jmannUSMC]

@@brianrivera846 Not sure what OP did, but I would invest new levers made by a company you can actually reach by phone. Doesn't have to break the bank, but 35 bucks for a set is way to low for good design and manufacturing. Corners had to get cut somewhere 😐

[@unrealgodmode2430]

My brake lever doesn’t have a groove for the that little black think under it and I have the same kind as you so Yeahh...

[@mattb12341]

I have a plug under my clutch handle for a electric plug but no wire what is that?

[@jmannUSMC]

Are you talking the two spade connectors at 5:08 ? Those two connector go to the clutch switch.

[@mattb12341]

Joseph D yes mine is only one plug but I never had a wire on mine to plug in what does it actually do?

[@charlieterrell8501]

9:56 anyone know the factory spec for a 2005 Yamaha R6?

[@indietoxic]

Followed steps but brake light not working

[@HGE2007]

What benefit do you get from short lever?

[@Gamer6TNein]

It's a matter of preference. Mine came with shorties when I bought it and I'm replacing them with slightly longer ones

[@HGE2007]

@@Gamer6TNein oh I thought they gave you a better handling .

[@Gamer6TNein]

@@HGE2007 They look better but I feel like I have to position my hand at an angle to be able to properly use 2 fingers on the clutch. My other bike has the stock levers and I think they feel better. Just try both and see what's better for you.

[@HGE2007]

@@Gamer6TNein that's what I'm gonna do. Try the short one.

[@floridaman2504]

Damn that R6 is slow😝 but good job I happened to just got the same ones then see this video in suggested

[@iveneverdonethisbefore8390]

Blockhead, you need a damn tripod man.

[@levsc9217]

So BASICALLY yea BASICALLY just you know BASICALLY ...

[@monkeydrummer22]
