Clutch lever/brake lever

Ninja SD · March 8th, 2021, 11:13 PM

Hello!

I am looking for a shorty clutch and a brake lever.

I found some online and this may be a dumb question so sorry but are they the same part?

The description on the websites to buy them say "clutch brake lever". Without removing these levers on my bike I can't tell if they are the same part.

If anyone happens to know the answer I would be grateful for the feedback.

I have a 2007 Ninja 250.

Thank you! Ninja SD

They are the same, part number 46092 according to Partzilla's parts drawings.

https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/ka...0f7f/handlebar
https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/ka...aster-cylinder

But the clutch lever that was on my 2005 when I got it is completely different. It has a knob to adjust the lever position. The brake lever I have looks original and has a tab hanging down to push the brake light switch. The parts drawing shows a tab on the clutch lever hanging down similarly, but if you turn the brake lever upside down to use it for a clutch lever the tab will stick up.

I don't know what's going on.

Edit: A used one on eBay listed as a 2007 shows the type I had: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-Kawasa...UAAOSwJRRelcHV

Jim for Kawasaki the first 5 digits represent a group, not the whole part number. Check the second - 4 digit block. Those 4 digits are different in the links you posted. 5-4 is the whole part number and they are not the same for those levers. Your lever looks like mine on ZZR so it might have been upgraded for adjustability

Yes, I overlooked the 4 digits, thanks. (how did I forget?). But it is odd about the adjustable part, since mine and the ones I found on eBay all have the adjustment knob.

So @Ninja SD, the link to the diagram I posted has the full 9-digit part number for the lever in the parts list.

How

? Easy

. It's been few times I got a call back from the supplier - "We got 5 digits here in your list, we cannot tell what exactly you need - send us the other 4 digits" And that is from the list of items that all have 9 digits specified"

So I know, first hand it happens

Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback. Do you know if they are the same part for aftermarket levers such as these?

Much appreciated!

No clue !

You might need to take the risk and test. They claim they are but who knows.

Thanks for the feedback! I kinda figured I would buy 1 of them and see if it fit on both sides before buying the other one.

Have a great day.

Based on the two different part numbers for stock levers, and on the fact that they have tabs hanging down to activate switches, it's very unlikely there is one lever that works properly on both sides.
