CRG Lever Install On Yamaha R6 | YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

- Being able to stop on your bike is very important and you should have OEM or quality aftermarket parts on your bike. Cheap levers can cause your brake to lock up due to poor materials that mate up with the plunger on the master cylinder. Do yourself a favor and keep you stock levers or spend the money and get good aftermarket ones such as CRG.

One item you shouldn’t go cheap on! What are your opinions on cheap vs quality levers?
Buy cheap buy twice!! I installed Lightech Alien levers on my RSV4 there amazing 🔥
Buy cheap, inspect the part carefully, install correctly, save yourself the money.
People having problems with the cheap ones just slapped the levers on there without checking if the part fits well and if it's installed correctly.
@@dedelabinouze5110 True and can definitely be done but when you pay more for a reputable and quality brand, you get a longer lasting quality item. Would require less monitoring. With that said even though something may be more quality doesn’t mean you still don’t inspect it as it can have faults as well.
I went mid grade double cheap price and about 6x less than name brand. That's the real trick
One of the first mods I did on my 2017 R6. Was about to go with ASV but the knowledgeable sales rep I bought my bike from suggested CRG. Love the quality and feel. 100% recommend. I'm glad you have them too.
I have had the same mzs levers for 3 years on my 17 r1 and my 16 zx10r... no problems at all. Good fit and quality! If mzs would have marketed their levers at 200 bucks a set there wouldn't be a problem.... Ijs🤔
Exactly. No one has proven a bad design or proven the cheaper levers are inferior. Show me some subjective testing, not just case studies of one or two people who can't install a lever right and caused their own issue.
Yeah I think a lot of it comes from that “you get what you pay for” mindset to justify the higher cost. Also RUclipsrs sponsored by companies like ASV and stores that carry their product advertise for the expensive levers. They are better quality for sure, but the “cheap levers are dangerous” thing I have never seen actually happen. If your brake and clutch are sticking after installing cheap levers, 90% chance it was installation error. Either tightened it down too much, didn’t have the plunger aligned, or cables got twisted bound up. The levers themselves are very simple and pretty much failproof. You can make the argument for durability but functionality is the same. I had cheap Amazon levers that were $40 a set on my r6. Never had an issue, the adjustment was a little sticky but I keep it in the same position anyway. I ended up getting these crg levers for like $230 and they feel nicer, the clicker is smoother, but that’s it. They work just the same.
that bushing is on top of the hole by spark plug or in fair crease you had to have one. I have a pair coming in 2 days for my 01 FZ!
Glad you made this bro! I bought cheapo levers for my previous FZ07 and got stuck in traffic, it was slowly compressing my front brake and eventually stuck. Since then it’s always been CRG, especially on my R6 👀
Oh no! I’m glad this is able to show people the risks of using cheaply made levers!
This is usually the result of over tightening and not using lubrication on the parts. This is an example of what you did wrong and caused in all likely hood.
@@broderp the brake lever wasn’t sticking, the brake caliper was sticking. This is a result of the brake lever, not being drilled down to spec, and slowly compressing the master cylinder even one released.
I live on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Lol the other day it was still in the 20s and 30s and the next day it was like 77 degrees. The weather doesnt know what it wants to do.
Nope it sure doesn’t! 😄
had my chinese levers on both of my bikes and no issues almost 3 years now with them🤷♂️. Maybe is people not installing them correctly? i have done plenty of track days also with them and still intact. same with my rear sets.
Yeah I’m not real sure. Could be a mixture of not installing correctly or faulty levers. 🤷♂️
It is too late for me. My $30 eBay shorty levers are already on 🙈
Haha!! Nooooooooo!!!!!!!
they will be fine so long as so rust forms
As long as you didn't over tighten them, and lubricated them be happy with your levers. The hype over expensive levers is just that - hype!
Sheesh having that same bushing problem on the s1000rr dealership gave me the bike with aftermarket no bushing, im on a quest to find a proper fit.
Man that’s the worst! I hate getting new parts to install and not having the right components.
Wait if the bushing is the problem and you had to order a Yamaha bushing for the new expensive levers why not just do that for the Amazon ones in have the best of both worlds
No whoever replaced those levers before I got it did not replace the bushing from the stock lever into the cheap lever on the clutch side. You can’t put the factory bushing in the Amazon lever on the brake side. It has one already it which is locked into place.
I think there is some confusion over cheap being bad and improper installation. I have heard of a bushing issue in a few cases but in both cases teh installer didn't properly lubricate the pin or bushing, thereby inducing the issue- and then blame the cheap lever. I'd like to see an apples-to-apples comparison that proves the cheaper ones are inferior in any way. You can tout specifications and materials all you want, but unless those specs clearly show a part will break under normal conditions then it's just that, a specification. If teh cheap ones were so bad, I'd expect to see way more videos on the issue, rather than someone trying to justify spending hundreds for the same functionality. If you like expensive designs, just admit it and be happy. No need to make unjustified claims.
You may not see a lot of videos or comments in forums about them but they are out there. I’m not the only one that made a video about this. Sport bike track gear also made a video talking about cheap levers. “You get what you pay for” is a real thing. Going cheap on certain things may be okay in some cases, but when it comes to certain safety aspects, I would not mess around. Just my personal opinion.
I love the quality of the CRG levers
My 12 r6 has em, I've never had cheap levers, so I wouldn't know the difference
Did those gold levers come with the bike when you bought it? The original levers should have had the bushing. That's why I'm asking. I do love the new levers you picked up. Pretty sweet.
Thanks! Yes, those levers were on the bike when I bought it from the last owner. I’m surprised whoever installed these did not reinstall that piece.
@@itsmeericb That's ok anyways. At least you caught it before you ended up wrecking your new bike. Now, to be clear, I've bought and used cheaper after market levers on previous bikes, but, they had to have a solid reputation and I'd inspect them to make sure tolerances were good and the pinion was free floating. That said, on my new Gixxer i ended up buying pazzo levers. I just didn't want the hassle of having to be a QA inspector. Lol! I wish I had picked up the same set you bought.
@@Darkriderzxr Yeah it's just the cheap Chinese levers don't have good quality control. They don't test for weak points and failures which can cause a a wreck.
@@itsmeericbSo, I just bought a set like yours. Lol! I just watched a video on your levers vs others. RC2's rock. Thanks for making me spend more money. Lol!
@@Darkriderzxr Ayyyee! Nice! Haha! Anytime!
Man I put my shorty CRG levers on my bike and it feels like my clutch is slipping when I try to accelerate 😭
That’s odd? 🤔
@@itsmeericb yea bro got it figured out, my factory clutch still had the lever collar in it so I put it in the CRG lever and she works 🤙🏼
I haven't rode in 6yrs. Are ASV Levers still considered quality?
Yes
Nice set of levers there buddy 👌🏻
Thanks!
Phenomenal video! Underrated views for the quality of the content!
Thanks! I appreciate it! 🙂
Are those crg levers short or long?
Long
Bruh I’ve been riding without that collar on the lever for the past year 😭 no wonder that shit was loose af 💀
Oh no! 😂 Well now you know!
And this is another reason why you may have wound up a statistic that would have been blamed on teh lever once it wore down to the point it would induce binding.
@@itsmeericb Yeah man, popped it open and no bushing haha feels better now with it
Would gold crg’s look good on a blue 2020 lol
I think so!
@@itsmeericb I’m gonna go with gold asv levers. Only thing I’m torn between is shorty or standard length.
@@RynoDinero Nice! Yeah I prefer the regular length levers.
Mzs levers are fine iv ran them for over 7 years nothing wrong with them and why do people want to pay over a 100 for just levers not me
To each their own, but just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it can't. You literally get what you pay for. $100 a lever is actually better quality than $40 levers.
@@itsmeericb And it can happen to you in your expensive levers as well. You are not immune.
How are you brother?
Good thanks for asking!
@@itsmeericb bro do a drag race with zx6r
Anyone know how many crashes have been caused by cheap Chinese levers?
Don’t know the numbers, but there are a good bit of forum posts and videos talking about the dangers of using cheap levers. There may be the lucky ones that have not had any issues, but why take the risk?
Probably not a lot. I have yet to read any proof of cheaper levers being dangerous. Just the hype, usually by those wanting to justify the expensive levers. Prove a design flaw that will guarantee a crash. They can't.
I've seen a few videos and I've read a few posts of people who have crashed because of cheap Amazon and eBay levers.
Something about fitment issues and return line being to small , the brake fluid heats up (I've never replaced any levers so it's hard to describe what they're talking about)
Took my bike to one shop...The first thing they said to me when I walked in the door was no Chinese levers, they won't install them or work on bikes that have them. And this is a shop where everyone is a semipro local racer.
I can post links if you need any more information
buy cheap buy twice.
Haha forreal 😅
do it right or do it twice
@@MADLITS1K key words: do it right.
