I was apprehensive about switching out my levers after growing tired of the OEM ones on my FZ07. Your video gave me the confidence to order new ones and they were installed and ready in less than 5 minutes. Great video!
Okay so I got these from Amazon for ONLY $27.00 for both. CNC machined and anodized. I think they look great. Please subscribe to my channel. More videos to come....
I have had shorty levers on my FZ-07 since I purchased it used. They are very nice and look great with the bike. The old owner decided to go with gold levers on the glacier blue so I added some gold frame sliders and case covers to continue to pattern.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand three years later here's another dude with shorty levers in hand and a 2017 FZ out in the garage awaiting the upgrade. Thanks fer makin' this video!
I use these exact same levers on my Fire blade and Grom, had a pair for my Ninja $300 too. Held up great, and a fantastic alternative to the more expensive brands. Cost $90 here in New Zealand (Roughly $60 USD)
I went back and forth whether to get the Chinese shorty's or just an OEM brake lever for my GPz. I settled on the OEM style and after seeing how flashy those look I definitely am happy about my choice. That would have totally ruined the slow old man's tourer look I'm trying for. I like the channel, subbing.
1 more thing.check the rubber bush. Some after market ones look good but after installing i recorgnise that its not sit on properly and some how damage the rubber bush behind the levers.
Awesome man thanks for the sub. I have other FZ-07 mod videos you may like also. Glad to hear you got the short levers installed. I was surprised on the quality and feel - they are very good. It's a good mod. Enjoy your ride.
I'm pretty new to biking and just fitted some shortys to my MT-07 today. My clutch lever doesn't snap all the way back like in the video. At first it didn't return at all and was stuck. I figured that might be down to tightening the nut too tight. Loosened it and now it springs back with maybe 2-4mm of the cable exposed. In your video when you release the clutch the lever mount sits flush to the cable mount and covers all clutch cable. Can anyone advise if this is a problem or provide tips on what I should be doing to get the clutch snapping back like that?
@@miguelaraujo2178 I’ve lubed the cable, the pivot and loosened the nut so it wouldn’t be too tight and it’s gotten better so try that and see if it gets better for you. I don’t think the nut supposed to be torqued too tight.
Is this literally as simple as this?? I can see from the clutch side that there is the wire with the 'ball end' that needs to go into the socket, but for the brake side, it was a bit difficult to see because of the camera view. You literally just line up the 'rod' into the hole in the brake lever, and that's it? If this is the case, should I be buying levers specific for my bike? (I have an XSR700, which is the same layout as the FZ/MT07 as far as the levers go)
I can't seem to manage to adjust the levers on mine i have the MZS shorty ones i got them used from a buddy but for the life of me i can't mange to click up or down the adjuster.
That looks absolutely amazing from the front with those bar end mirrors and windscreen. yesterday I think it was or 2 days ago when I brought up the Ermax set I was talking about the frame pieces. th-cam.com/video/wYyrJ1lFSZU/w-d-xo.html This link is a red one and he customized it with more then just the ermax kit. There is also another on that is the same model you have.

+MotoMerica do you have the link by any chance?
No the auction ended so it is gone but if you search you should find it. You may have to email seller to make sure they fit.
MotoMerica Ok thank you!
My shorty clutch lever shakes like crazy, previous owner installed it, any idea why its so loose?
Wait it's that easy!?? Omg I have had a set of new levers sitting because I didn't know how weow. Thanks for the handy video!
How do you take the bushing out?? Mine won’t knock loose!

That sounds like a nice color combination.
I like the way you explain what you are doing and allow us to see.
Link to those awesome bar end mirrors please
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand three years later here's another dude with shorty levers in hand and a 2017 FZ out in the garage awaiting the upgrade. Thanks fer makin' this video!
Thanks for watching. Enjoy your ride!
They’re sooo much nicer to use than the stock oem levers that came with my bike. Takes a few corners to get acquainted with them.
I agree they look so much better
What bar end mirrors are they?
Single....to the point... and super helpful... thnx alot!
Do you really need the grease?
Any issue after 5 years? Specially with the front brake, ive seen scary stories.
Can you link me the Crash Protection sliders you have for the front, rear and mid you have on your bike ?
Just got myself these, look and feel great! :)
Yes they are great. Thanks for watching
Why does the clutch lever have a bushing and the brake lever not ?

+Pen Pen ... Awesome. I like them too. I want a GROM !!
Are those the sunpower controls via Amazon? Is there alot of up down play on both, and how do they perform after a couple of years? Curious
Great video man...THANKS!! 😎👊
+Chris MotorLife ... thanks for watching.
very nice
Thank you sir. Check out my other videos also.
Whats the advantages of putting greece? For easy unscrew in future? Just asking
The bolts wont seize that way, and you can torque them better.
Also, the levers pivot on the bolts, so it's good to have some grease there to keep it smooth.
+Pedro Silva oh i see!! Thanks mate!!

I like the channel, subbing.
It can be a good look....lol
really helps bro. i'm sort of hesitate when ASV said that their levers are universal
Thanks for watching and the comment.
hey, Are shorty lever same for every bike ?
+Ritesh Sharma ... nope you have to check for your model. Many of the same brand are the same.
great how-to. really helped me out. But my front brake is now touching the disk after install. Any idea how to fix this?
Bro my fucking clutch lever did not have the thing to take out🥲 how’s it called I can’t find it 😂
how have they held up? any color fade? nice smooth operation?
Nope still looking new
Nice video.
+Roberto Neves ... Thanks. Keep watching for more vids soon.
1 more thing.check the rubber bush.
Some after market ones look good but after installing i recorgnise that its not sit on properly and some how damage the rubber bush behind the levers.
What watch are you wearing in this?
Fossil
Where did you get the levers sir? Thanks
The bushing won't fit in my new shorty levers. What gives. I tried.
Upon close inspection the shorty lever looks like have their own bushing.
You may have purchased a set that has a bushing. Try the install they should not wobble afterwards.
Thanks for the video, it was easier then I thought 👍
My new clutch lever is not snapping back into place after installation! Any ideas about how to fix it?
Make sure it's the correct lever for the bike. Maybe try loosening the lock nut a little??
+MotoMerica Got it! I had tightened the bolt too much. Loosened it up a little and it works great. Thanks for the great video bud!
Enjoy your awesome bike !!
Try loosening the lock nut a little
How are they holding up after 10 months?
no problems at all with these.
Do this adjustable get closer to the grip than the stock lever allows?
+ShiftHer ... Yes they do. I can bring the clutch in so far that the clutch does not even engage ;)
I bought some aswell, thanks for the video. - Subbed :)

So easy, thank you!!!!
What levers are they

+James Palmer ... It is made by GIVI and is the shorter version. I have a video on the channel of the install that has more info.
+MotoMerica thanks man!

Did you ever find a solution? Mine does the same thing. Stretched cable?
@@deegaw11 did you find a solution? im having the same problem, already lubed it but didn't work
@@miguelaraujo2178 I’ve lubed the cable, the pivot and loosened the nut so it wouldn’t be too tight and it’s gotten better so try that and see if it gets better for you. I don’t think the nut supposed to be torqued too tight.
what the stock hand bars on the fz07 brother?
7/8"
when you have the clutch on setting 3 do you find it tougher or not as smooth through the gears?
+matt toronto ... I have not tried 3 yet. I will test it out. I kinda leave it where I had it.
Is this literally as simple as this?? I can see from the clutch side that there is the wire with the 'ball end' that needs to go into the socket, but for the brake side, it was a bit difficult to see because of the camera view.

+Justin Yang ... Yep I was shocked at how easy it was. 10 minutes.
Great video, you made it look easy! Subbed! Keep them coming!
+AJHD ... Fantastic - thanks for subscribing to the channel.
Hey, great video. Thanks! Which levers did you buy? I’ve ser a couple on amazon but I’d like to buy good quality ones!
Great review
Hey man where did you purchase your mirrors from?

Do you have to put grease?
Just a bit on the bushing area.

Yes easy upgrade. thanks for watching
i spy harbor freight sockets! lol
+Old King Cole ... Bingo. Gotta love the colors and the price (until they break...lol)
I can't seem to manage to adjust the levers on mine i have the MZS shorty ones i got them used from a buddy but for the life of me i can't mange to click up or down the adjuster.
Paolo Jiz de ortega there was a video about those acting up. Look it up it’s on TH-cam
@@tommypickle2714 I fixed it by getting crg shortys world of a difference in feel
