Title: Levers for 2002 M620 Post by: davehong on November 03, 2010, 09:46:20 AM Short vs Long?
Foldable vs Reg? CRG vs Pazzo vs ASV? HAAAALP!!!!! ??? Title: Re: Levers for 2002 M620 Post by: stopintime on November 03, 2010, 10:02:39 AM If you have 300 mm discs, it might be an idea to get a long brake lever, which will allow more pressure from multiple fingers. Maybe also move the master cylinder a bit inward, so your pull is longer out on the lever (more power).
Clutch length is just down to personal preference, but count how many fingers you use now. If you currently use only two fingers, a short is enough. Foldable is mostly a race oriented feature - less risk of braking off in a crash. It may allow you to finish the race. Of course, it also might save your lever in a minor bike drop. Make sure the levers you buy have the tab to push on the micro switches for brake light and/or clutch thingy.

Sorry, I have an 02 M620 Dark...single disc, dunno the size... I was looking at an adjustable clutch lever beucase the stock lever is too far out for comfort...and figured id get a matching set. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ducati-Monster-600-620-750-ie-94-02-Brake-Clutch-Levers-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem43a2cac12bQQitemZ290494005547QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ducati-Monster-600-620-750-ie-94-02-Brake-Clutch-Levers-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem43a2cac12bQQitemZ290494005547QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.m748&item=330491099732&viewitem=&_trkparms=clkid%3D4696981167769028293 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.m748&item=330491099732&viewitem=&_trkparms=clkid%3D4696981167769028293) ... can't really justify $200+ on levers....esp considering stuff coming out of china is just as good. Title: Re: Levers for 2002 M620 Post by: stopintime on November 03, 2010, 12:26:45 PM Well, with a single (320 mm) disc, my advice about a long brake lever stands.
I think you need the power of more than two fingers. There have been stories of people getting wrong levers for their bikes. Some ebay dealers don't know our bikes. Ask if they have the correct levers for your bike - small/large pivot bolt? Tab for micro switches? If they don't know what you're asking and/or can't answer intelligently - find another dealer. (small pivot looks like a normal bolt with a flat head, large is hollow in the center) (tab is located under the lever and pushes against the micro switches) Do you have pictures of your controls? It will make it easier for the dealer or us to help you further.

See, thats what I'm concerned with, in regards to the ebay dealers...reliability of service. But hot damn, under $100 shipped for a PAIR of levers... I might go short on the clutch and long on the brake... Title: Re: Levers for 2002 M620 Post by: speedknot on November 08, 2010, 10:58:29 PM Get the ones from mlabel.parts. I have them on my M750. Not quite CRG quality but definitely very good for the price. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Levers for 2002 M620 Post by: atomic410 on November 09, 2010, 07:02:59 AM ASV. breakproof and has an adjustable dial. the lage pivoit ones frome the early 998etc fit assuming that you have the stock coffins. indysuperbikes, sportbiketracktime, etc all have asv. i've broke both hands and can't ride a bike without them. CRG shorties are your other option. crg makes great stuff as well. [bacon]
Title: Re: Levers for 2002 M620 Post by: davehong on November 09, 2010, 08:07:19 AM thanks guys, i ended up getting the CRG shorties. (something about ebat knockoffs bother me, but that's my issue.)
