2005 RSV Clutch & Brake Levers

[Rick Butler]

Guys,

 

I know several of you including myself have been interested in changing our levers to the wide-blade style lever. I had been using the ones from the old Royal Stars but they are no longer offered and were a bit short anyway. The ones I have now are from JC Whitney and work alright but don't look as good as Yamaha's.

 

However I am currently working on a friends 2006 and noticed that the levers are now the nice wide-blade style of the old Royal Stars but longer. But they are only brushed aluminum rather than chrome. I checked the parts fiche and it looks like Yamaha changed to these levers in 2005. The parts numbers are:

 

1D6-83922-00-00

1D6-83912-00-00

 

Flatout has them for about $23 each. Just thought I'd mention this as an option for those looking to change theirs out.

I changed mine out to the chrome ShowChrome levers. They're slightly differently shaped, but I actually like the feel of them better than the OEMs. The OEM aluminum ones turned my tan gloves a silvery black. Mostly the left glove, since that one's used a lot more.

I put these Kuryakyn wide levers on mine, they look and feel good. Not bad price either.

So which part number did you order, V-Star, RoadStar, or the one that says for hydrolic clutch?

[Rick Butler]

Yeah Gunny,

 

It has always appeared that Kuryakin made them for every bike except the RSV. They are always one of my first choices when looking for something like this.

Thanks for the information and "lead" Rick.

Sorry for the confusion guys my mistake, I dug out the invoice and discovered they were ShowChrome. These are wide smooth models. I bought them in Aiken SC at the Yamaha dealer.

I also have the Show Chrome wide blade chrome levers. Went on in about 5 minutes and look and feel great.
