    Guys just wanted to know if I could fit any clutch lever from any bike onto
    mine (Honda cbr250r) or does it have to be a 'Honda part'

    thanks

    yep...you could use any part that fits
    more than likely a clutch lever for a cbr250r will fit best

    Make sure you get at least another 250 lever or better still; the lever off
    a 400 or 600.
    CBRs are pretty powerful and you'd just disintegrate a 125 one! (Don't get
    an 900 or 1000 one though; it'd be too powerful and you wouldn't get enough
    travel for it to engage!)

    Just find the one that fits [EXACTLY].
    I bought a Triumph lever at a BMW shop to go on a Suzuki once. Same part!
    (and my Triumph mirrors had "Kawasaki" under the Triumph badges!)

  5. You wanna keep the engine configuration in mind too, my Spada takes
    levers that fit on the VTR1000 Firestorm (which is another v-twin), and
    although the VFR800 levers look the same, and are even the same part
    number, I'd be a bit cautious about fitting a v4 lever to a v-twin
    bike...

    My regulator said DUCATI on it. Guess when I found out?

  8. When you loaned it to someone with a Honda?

    When it died after 18 months! I got a genuine replacement, also said
    Ducati, it also died after another 18 months. (They have a 12 month
    warranty). My brother had the same regulator in his Ducati, it died.
    Several mates had them in their Guzzis, they died. Now has a Japanese
    regulator, half the price, hasn't died. Dealer now only stocks the
    Japanese item to save embarrassment.

    Yeah, and make sure it is the same length - if it is too big, the revs will
    drop by too much and it won't idle properly; if it is too short, the revs
    could go through the roof and unless your rev limiter works properly, you
    could do serious damage to the engine. The relationship between clutch level
    length and revs doesn't get much attention, as everyone always seems so
    fixated on the issue of gearing, much to their detriment.

  13. Well, thats 'cause if you get your gearing wrong, you're likely to be
    running too lean...
