Title: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: nkryptit on June 25, 2008, 06:34:16 AM I've been looking around for some adjustable levers for my 696 and I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. What do I need to know about the break/clutch system to find compatible levers. I found these at MonsterParts, I'm assuming that I'll need the "Big Pivot" because of the square reservoirs (coffin reservoirs?). Anything else to take into account?

There is an M696 project bike at the shop and there are levers in stock that they were talking about test fitting. Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: nkryptit on June 25, 2008, 09:29:25 AM Thanks for the info.... It sounds like they might be test fitting a few things that I'm interested in (S4R Rearsets, Clip-ons), I'll be keeping an eye out.

You can use a 12mm for the clutch side as well but you will want to choose 12mm with clutch inhibitor so that you can continue to have a clutch inhibitor on your bike.

Post by: nkryptit on June 25, 2008, 03:39:15 PM pregnant dogin'...Thanks for the links. How's install on those?
Are those the long or short? Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: Sac Monster on June 25, 2008, 04:02:30 PM Those are long levers, install on the levers took about 5 minutes. Real simple.
Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: weemonster on June 26, 2008, 03:31:33 AM ??? dont 696's have radial brakes?
all the ones ive seen pic of do. Hvent seen one in the flesh yet tho. Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: cmorgan47 on June 26, 2008, 05:32:58 AM Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: Sac Monster on June 26, 2008, 10:45:08 AM Radial calipers yes, radial master cylinders no. I rode the bike home last night after the switch to CRG's and it was a definite improvement. The first thing I noticed when I first rode the bike was I didn't like the feel of the stock levers. I definitely reccomend switching to CRG levers.
Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: nkryptit on June 26, 2008, 12:29:27 PM Yup...next mod....I'll be placing an order soon. Thanks for the info and pics, you took all the guess work out...Cheers [beer]

Post by: lazarus7 on July 01, 2008, 08:56:20 AM guys, MOTOWHEELS is WORLD CLASS....
HIGHLY recommended... ordered these yesterday after lunch, so maybe 1pm'ish east coast. rolled up today to meet the fedex guy, they were already on the doorstep....!!! BEFORE lunch...!!! SERIOUSLY took all of five minutes to remove and replace BOTH levers.... cant wait to try them out tonight.... remove the nut from the bottom of EITHER lever, pull the bolt out the top of the lever, replace and put the nut back in, thats it. no cables to fit to the levers, no greasing, no adjustments. easiest bolton ive ever done. and DAMN they look good in person. ive got pazzo's on my s4rs and 2006 speed triple, and these crgs are the equal to them in fit and finish, build quality. go get 'em now before theyre sold out....;) (http://i25.tinypic.com/n5q0w0.jpg) (http://i29.tinypic.com/104g2o7.jpg) (http://i30.tinypic.com/15s6lmt.jpg) Title: 696 levers ARE already adjustable to start with..... Post by: zippo on August 19, 2009, 07:27:12 AM folks seem to find the stock 696 clutch engagement point too far out, and some think they must spend hundreds of $ to buy adjustable levers to cure that--
not so, the standard 696 levers are adjustable- just need a proper size screwdiver to crank-out the brass adjuster screw located near the pivot--the brass screws may be covered with a glob of glue/sealer which needs to be scraped out of the screwdriver slot, but there's a metal clip in the lever to retain the screw and provide 'click' adjustments... loosen the clutch (or brake) side screw about one full turn to get the lever into a more natural setting---that's what the adjuster's are there for......although it isn't described in the manuals.. Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: mrplease on August 19, 2009, 07:58:14 AM i vote for asv levers! they adjust 100 times vs. 6 that crg & pazzos do. much more adjustable. they also have a 5 year warranty. if you lay your bike down and they break, they'll send you a new one!

Post by: sroberts152 on August 19, 2009, 11:37:58 AM I put Pazzo Shorty's on my 696 and was so happy once it was done.
Then I saw how short the AGV Shorty's were and I got lever envy. Next time through, I'm going with those AGV's. Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers?

Next time through, I'm going with those AGV's. AGV or ASV? Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: mrplease on August 19, 2009, 05:54:58 PM its ASV
Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: sroberts152 on August 20, 2009, 07:45:18 AM its ASV Thats what I meant. Probably why I couldn't find them when I searched for them before buying my Pazzo's. [bang] Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: mstevens on August 21, 2009, 07:15:36 AM Some pics of ASV shorties on a 696. Please forgive my mom's IZ_ camera. Mine has gone kerfloop and I haven't had time to buy a new one yet.

The first and last photos are fairly representative of this. Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: NekkedChic on August 22, 2009, 04:25:24 PM Pazzo Shorties [thumbsup]
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55/heathergln/Bikes/Christmas08016.jpg) Altho, originally ordered levers in BLACK, and hubby stole/swapped for his gold he did not like. Soooo, FYI, the levers themselves are swappable btw. He has a Speed Triple. Now, to find someone to swap me black levers for my gold and I'll be happier. ;) Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: claud-ducati-696 on August 28, 2009, 09:28:25 AM mrplease - you should just start your own forum...amazing all the stuff you have done with your monster. I just started riding, just got a 696 red and after just a few months of riding im already thinking of moving to a bigger bike, but i have the problem of height - 5'2"- so its hard for me to handle bigger bikes (for now). but seeing all your mods got me excited about the 696...thanks for sharing...

And lemme also add I am a responsible, 40-something-year-old mother of 2 who values life and maintains a safe driver's license still also. OH and same "height issues" [laugh] Enjoy the Monster! It's a GREAT bike! [thumbsup] Oh yeah, and MrPlease has done some NICE mods, I agree! It's another added joy of this bike, UNIQUE-ability and beyond! Title: Re: 696 Adjustable Levers? Post by: ungeheuer on September 01, 2009, 04:10:10 AM Alright so I know this is a little pedantic.. but can anybody tell me if Pazzo gold color matches Rizoma gold color? Anybody with gold pazzos and some gold rizoma bar ends care to post a pic??
Cheers [thumbsup] |
