Will do, but The2wheels shorted me by a lever. They said they would send my clutch lever, but I've yet to see it. It's been almost another month already... I'm getting worried.

I ordered shorties from the2wheels as well for my 99'.
i ordered levers for the 08'+ have no idea why i was thinking they would work when it would have been posted here if they did. the clutch lever fits but the brake lever kinda sticks, which is kinda dangerous as sometimes you can't brake as hard as you want to also i broke that safety switch plunger on the clutch when putting the new lever on this may have affected fitment but it has worked perfectly otherwise so w/e... just a heads up, try to order a 500 brake lever and a 08'+ clutch lever and it might possibly be a direct swap. no perch change needed.

Can someone explain the appeal/need for folding levers?

OK, the clutch lever does indeed seem to be a direct swap between EX250J/K and EX250F. The only notable difference other than the pregen lever having ugly knuckle nubs is that the pin it pivots on goes through and threads into the perch on a pregen and a loose nut on the underside with the newgen. The pin is the same size except for the threaded tip, so they fit either lever. If you lost the pregen pin and had a newgen one, it still extends out the bottom to thread the nut on because the threaded part is a smaller diameter.
Edit: OK. I've been told that the perch is threaded on the newgen too and the nut just locks it into the perch so it won't back out of those threads. Makes sense. Regardless, the pins will not thread into eachother's perches. If the pregen pin protrudes enough from the perch for a nut, I'm probably simply missing mine.

I finally sent The2Wheels a message demanding either a damn clutch lever or a refund because I have no second lever... Ugh.

There are 2 things here; Adjustable and Folding
Adjustable levers address lever distance from the bar which helps with comfort, hand size and ultimately move the friction zone closer to where the rider wants it Folding levers do exactly that, they fold up to prevent breaking in case the bike falls/goes down

AH ok the latter answers my question. Adjustable makes sense but I never thought of folding ones... |

Why not add more free play to clutch lever? It seems to me to do essentially the same thing- the clutch cable is actuated when the lever is closer to the handle bar.
If you put in adjustable levers, you can adjust the lever free play to the OEM specification, but any extra distance in pull to ensure the clutch is fully disengaged is negated by the reduced travel setting. In essence, the cable actuates the same distance as if you had added more free play. The downside is that there is an extra distance the lever can travel after it is released. There are rumors of rattling levers, but that does not seem to occur on my bike. So... Am I wrong? |

You need a perch from the '94+ model ex500.

Hmmm, the perch said it was a '92 thru '05 I think so I hope it works.
