Replacing brake and clutch levers

[Ash]

So after the wind blew my bike over and bent my front brake lever I think its time to change them.

Not sure if the levers are bike specific or if I can get a generic set to go on. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

It is specific.
If its GTR , use GT125R levers.

GV125 levers have more curves , so may feel weird (even though will “just about” fit) .  RX125 will fit.

TNorthEast, Startrights Leeds are best 2 sources for levers and real hyo Uk dealers (oldest ones even) , until i eventually stock the parts at this shop (still expanding it) , failing all that, i’ll get it for you in the trade from Doncaster.

650 brake levers won’t fit as too thick to slot inside the mounts of the 125cc brake holders.

ah ok, I’m from Leeds originally so know start rights well. I’ll pop in next time I’m back home. thanks.

Wanting to replace my 2015 gt650r’s brake and clutch lever with shorty levers. Have had no luck finding any for my year model so far.

Will levers advertised for older models fit ? And/or will levers for other models fit ?

As long as the 650R uses original mounts, then get XRT ones (made in korea & official hyosung approved) ,  the chinese ones WILL bend or sway and let you down! They can’t handle the braking needs of a 650cc and plus the clutch side will eat cables.   If you can’t find XRT levers , try whyGoStock in USA who have a source that makes the 650 levers on US soil.

So, I’ve found these two options;

https://www.ebay.com/itm/123272637795?itmmeta=01JA7PEYXYY4X3G41XAN58YVHP&hash=item1cb39f2d63:g:FfAAAOSwlptaDOHJ

Hyosung XRT Billet Aluminum Brake Clutch Lever Set BLACK GT125R GT250R GT650R

The eBay option is from TDR, an Australian store. It costs around $30 and seems to be the correct one.

the official Hyosung option is from XRT as suggested however costs $320.

is it really worth the $320??

30 dollar one says unbranded  , so assume the seller is re-selling from aliexpress.   Quality may remain questionable, so i can’t comment on the experience of them.  Some 650 owners might do it (& say no issues) , they haven’t been in a serious emergency to test them or they may not admit it publicly, so we’re in the abyss here.

$320 for XRT , is too much  and i would not use that site.  Send a message to the real US dealer/importer  WhyGoStock, as they may have levers made on US soil.
