Supposed to be going camping tomorrow morning and my bloody brake lever has snapped. Can anyone advice if its safe to drive. Have posted a pick, where the arrow is, is where there shouldn't be a gap, I've taped the bit of metal into the hole. Will this be ok?

pity you aint closer am sure I have a spare. hard to tell, does it feel strong enough if you really give it some?

try going out onto a quiet bit of road get up to speed on a straight and try an emergency stop, if that works fine and it doesnt appear to have affected your repair at all then you may get away with it.

Also if you have a dealer local, I believe many levers will fit (maybe with a bit of tweeking0 and that may be better than your heath robinson affair!

thanks CT, do we have a list or know what levers are compatable?

sure there is somewhere on here with stuff like that, will have a look.................................

you need to be sure its gonna hold as the possible consequence is not nice!

Jo, in general technical there is a sticky thread "brake and clutch levers" take a look in there.......

Ta CT, just had practise in garden, its a no go, too risky, its broke off by the pin. Will pop off to read the thread.

Gixxer SRAD for deffo Jo, and I believe a lot of other Suzukis fit.

thanks for info guys, local shop found one in a box of levers lol....it fitted so am happy, but have no idea what it came off but it was exactly the same, so happy biker
