Brake lever

[moggy23]

I've fitted an adjustable brake lever to my 2010 model and now it's really tight on the lever as soon as I put the minimum amount of pressure on the lever the brakes engage
Is this something that needs looking at or does this happen with aftermarket levers?

It not be sitting properly.... I had this and riding the bike for about 2 mins and the brakes were completely locked.... try and take them off and re-sit it...." I noticed the difference straight away"

I've taken the lever off and re fitted it but it's still the same

Try putting the stock back on and see if you have the same issue?

Sounds like this could be a bit dangerous, are you able to get the front wheel off the ground and see if the pads are binding?

I had a pazzo levers that give me the same problem, I gave up with them because the brakes where constantly on causing them to get red hot.

The brakes are fine and are not binding it's just as soon as you put any amongst of pressure on the lever the brakes start to activate there is no play in the lever at all

What make of lever is it? I have an ASV brake lever and it must be fitted with the supplied ASV push rod and lever bushing. If fitted with the OEM parts it would lock solid on the first application.

It's only one of those cheap ones from eBay so that's prob why it's causing the issues[emoji23]
