I just got a drz has these levers on it thank god you showed how to adjust them the clutch lever was so close with in 1/8 inch off the bars it would grab
Wow thank you so much for this video, I was intimidated to change the levers thinking I had to fuck with throttle and clutch cables you made it look soooooo easy I’m about to head downstairs and throw mine on thank you ❤
I have been beating the hell out of my ASV levers on KLX300r for two years of off road and they are still fine. Likely going to try these on my 23 Dizzer.
Careful of brake lock-up because of pin fitment not engaging brake properly. Look it up on RUclips. It happened on my CBR 600rr but luckily I was only rolling a couple mph then complete front brake lock-up. Just FYI brother🤙
Sick video bro. I just had to order them when I seen that they were 40k gold lol. I’m waiting for an aluminum throttle tube to come in so I can install my grips.. that factory throttle tube is stupid as fuck!
Bought my Drz used, these levers came with it but are lose feeling on the bike like it’s got a gap in between the frame and the lever. Think a washer work? I can’t find one thin enough thob
I’d be very careful with anything you do with levers or hand controls. They are critical. A washer may cause something to bind up or stick. It could put you down fast. I actually swapped those out for a set of ASVs. And they’ve been great. Good luck bro.
So I’ve heard that apparently these shouldn’t be used as they are extremely dangerous because the can lock up the break. I bought some but now I’m nervous to use them so I guess I kinda wasted my money.
You can't believe everything you hear on the internet 😉 honestly I don't see how these could do that but I'm not a professional. Just installed these today so if I'm on the news know it was these that got me
@@blanemccurdy566 for reference these are the videos I saw about them… ruclips.net/video/hrmISjVFwtE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/VtgwCQQabRU/видео.html
I just picked up my drz and noticed a little into the throttle it feels like it gets stuck and than breaks this wall and moves freely any idea what it could be
Stay clear of these. They have snapped on me during braking. MZS look cool as fuck, but do NOT buy these cheap aftermarket levers when your life depends on them. Stick to OEM or Zeta! Edit: There are a lot of videos on why you should stick to OEM levers and numerous bike shops have backed this up as well.
@@linksgarage1985 - Lookin out for ya bud. They caught my eye at first but I quickly noticed reduced braking power since there’s less leverage (less tq.). Switched back to OEMs and it just feels right. Maybe that’s why levers have looked the same since forever who knows
@linksgarage1985 I pulled my ASV's off of my KLX and they did not work on the DZR. I have the F2 shortys. Maybe you'll have better luck, or a different model! I'll keep an eye out for the vod! tyvm
@linksgarage1985 hmm, I never saw any called FR! Typo? C5, C6, F2, F3, and F4 are all the lever models they list on their website. Either way, I'm excited!
@linksgarage1985 After this convo, I canceled my order for the MZR and got on ASV's website and found sku BCF21610-SK, and they fit perfectly on my 2023 DSR 400S. Went my first ride today, so much better than stock, love 'em!
I know I said throttle side on the clutch side. Oops!
Just installed the blue ones thanks to your video. This was my first mod, thanks for the detailed walkthrough 🤙
Hell yea! Thanks for watching!
How have they held up after 11 months?!
I just got a drz has these levers on it thank god you showed how to adjust them the clutch lever was so close with in 1/8 inch off the bars it would grab
@@Karnol428 glad to help!
I have the Same ones , going on 5 years and just lubed all the moving parts along with any contact points.
No issues
Hell yea

No problem! Thanks for watching!
Hey, Thank you for the clean installation video. Greatly appreciated.
@@DavidGoodman-q7e no worries man. Thanks for watching!
I love mine, had on for 9k miles, no complaints.
Hell yea! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
So is it true that they are extremely dangerous to use because they can cause break failure
@@DeadZoneGaming even ASV levers can fail. Maybe maybe I’ll buy some of each and torture test them and film it:

Great work on your videos and your straight forward approach. I subscribed.

I have those on my KLX300, good levers!
I’ve got a couple thousand miles on them so far. ZERO complaints! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
@@linksgarage1985 Yeah man I dig your DRZ content, I just sold my 2005 ZRX1200R for a DRZ400sm. Your videos are helpful!
Your Rip It energy drink mod cracked me up, I haven't seen one of those since I was deployed.
@@matthewrylee8638 dude! The ZRX is one of my dream bikes. Wanted one forever! And thank you! I appreciate you watching!
@@matthewrylee8638 nothing like 8oz cans of rip it’s on pallets!!!! 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
Easy enough. Time to install.
Boom
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thanks. I appreciate it!
Thanks for the great video.

Yea. I’ll prob swap to ASVs sooner or later. Tried to go budget first. But I’m still happy with them so far a year later!
How do you adjust the clutch and the brake when you stick these pilot type levers on your bike
I showed how to adjust them in the video.
Yo Link, should i grab a pair of these
They are. It that bad. I did swap to some ASVs. And there is a huge difference. But you pay for it.
I did like these better than stock.
Sick video bro. I just had to order them when I seen that they were 40k gold lol. I’m waiting for an aluminum throttle tube to come in so I can install my grips.. that factory throttle tube is stupid as fuck!
Yea! I ended up cutting mine off. It was a pain in the ass!
Will the switch still work without the spring?
Yes
Thank you! Just got a new switch in mail as mine was toast and works good as new!
@@bradleysodee5221 glad to hear it!

What bar end weights are those?
In this video. Factory SM
Did you replace the throttle tube to put the pillow tops on?
I did not.
@@linksgarage1985 copy, thanks appreciate it
But it was a total pain in the ass. I had to slice and dice it off in about 1,000 pieces.
It's starting to get nice out. You racking up the miles yet ?
Over 1k brother. And will continue to climb.
So I’ve heard that apparently these shouldn’t be used as they are extremely dangerous because the can lock up the break. I bought some but now I’m nervous to use them so I guess I kinda wasted my money.
I’ve had no issues. Good luck!

@@EstimateStudents what
I heard the bearing gets stuck is that true???, do they lock up??
Mine didn’t. But I switched to ASV levers.
you still running these? any issues?
I am still running these currently. Zero issues. However I do have a set of asvs on order. Just for comparison sake.
@linksgarage1985 I pulled my ASV's off of my KLX and they did not work on the DZR.
I have the F2 shortys.
Maybe you'll have better luck, or a different model!
I'll keep an eye out for the vod! tyvm
@@RedboneUnincorporated I ordered the FRs. Said they would fit. We will see!
