Question:

Broke my Ninja500 brake lever - need help.?

Hi, guys!I bought my first motorcycle recently, and I‘ve been trying just fine. Today I drop for the first time in the cold, and I noticed issues keeping my bike on even after I had it warm.Well, today I was at a stop sign, and when I made a turn the bike stalled. Wasn‘t quick enough to balance myself and grab the bike so I dropped it.I broke the brake lever, and I noticed there‘s this circle mechanical thing attached. It‘s on the clutch too, but I‘m not sure what it‘s used for. I‘m referring to the chrome/steel circle above.I‘m trying to buy some new levers to replace both, but I‘ve noticed some levers don‘t come with the circle thing above. Even the OEM levers don‘t.So what‘s it for, and do I need it?

Answer:

this is simply the adjuster of the span of the brake /cluch lever lets you tune it to your special requirements
the dial you have on the brake lever is calibrated 1-4 and the holes adjust the pressure you put on the front brakes(ie,from light to hard),hope that helps.
It is an adjuster which changes the point at which the brake is applied. Unless the master cylinder has been changed an OEM lever will do the job, but you can find very cheap Chinese-made replacements with adjusters (a lot cheaper than OEM normally).
