I'm surprised that they don't run one of the several versions of an unbreakable lever. Curious as to the reasoning, seems like it would be cheap insurance. Is the feel different for pros (seems about the same for me, but I've been running them for years)? Sponsor conflicts?
Come to think of it does anyone know when this changed? Had to be around 2008-9 with the change to 4 strokes. I do remember a 4 stroke with stock graphics then they added san manuel and its taken off ever since. There was a time where the bikes actually looked stock from a distance then trick up close with factory unobtanium.
Honda still cuts it pretty close roczens bike has close to stock graphics. Kawi was early to the game with chevy trucks, spit fire, and honda did have the road runner for a bit. Seems like Honda and KTM are really the only 2 these days that look close to stock from a distance but nowhere close to in the past.
The Shop
Cooper somehow had a stock lever on his hydraulic clutch, which Yamahas don't even have, in order to look stock.
And to top it all off, he needs even more help from everyone in this forum to keep the lever from not breaking, none of which the factory team has considered on his completely not-stock stock clutch lever.
Ive seriously slammed my ASV levers and they dont break. Guess im too factory for the factory guys...
Pit Row
Is tip of lever that much factor of speed in SX tracks really...
