R.C. Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I've got my stock clutch and brake levers adjusted as close as they'll get to the handle bar. However, I'd like them just a little closer. What solutions or recommendations for adjustable levers do you have? Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincep Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Be careful of going for the cheap Chinese knock off levers as others have found they do not work on the GT with the cruise control. I went for EvoTech at 99 pounds. https://evotech-performance.com/collections/all/products/ep-yamaha-tracer-900-gt-folding-clutch-and-brake-lever-set-2018-onwards I think others have been able to modify the cheaper ones to work. I have been very happy with the evo tech. They will adjust very close to the bar. If others on this site that do not have a GT comment that all levers should work, I would suggest you tread carefully - go with advice from someone that has modified the levers for a GT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillEmAll4u Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I ordered these from Evotech from the UK. The clutch grabs normally now from a stand still and the brake adjustment is perfect. I feel it transformed the bike. I didn't really want the folding ones but I think that's all that have in full size unless you want the shorties. If you do order these, use UPS. USPS has been having issues in customs lately with the virus.

thewrenchbender Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Toward the bottom is my take on Gilles Tooling version. In Europe it appears they are available from MamaYama as a “factory” accessory. Ran a no-name Chinese set on my FJR for 25k miles w/no issues. Little research I did-as indicated above-was that the clutch switch on the Tracer made those a little trickier to find/make work properly Aside from the adjustability aspect, found the “straight” portion of the levers much more comfortable than the curved OEM levers when holding the clutch in for extended periods. The Chinese clutch lever laid “flat” against the grip, when adjusted to the shortest reach, the Gilles clutch lever is parallel when is about 1/2” away, which as described, is when the 2nd clutch-side switch engages, and where the clutch starts to engage on the way “out”... Hope this helps. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted August 10, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted August 10, 2020 I went with the Pazzo levers on my FJ, and highly recommend them. I haven’t looked to verify fit specifically for the GT, but feel certain they are available. Not cheap, but superb quality and feel, and you can mix & match lever lengths depending on your personal preferences... a standard length clutch and shorty brake seems to be a common configuration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I went with an eBay special made from the finest chinesium money can buy. The brake lever is fine. The clutch lever leaves some to be desired but overall it's perfectly rideable. 1 '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got lucky, apparently. I've gone to that link and it says sold out. And it seems my Google is broken because I can't find those or others specifically for the GT in the States. I"m so ready to throw more money at the bike and good levers are towards the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillEmAll4u Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Check back on this website everyday. I remember the first time I checked they were out of stock and then suddenly they were replenished. They really are good levers as others have said as well. Hope you can get a pair soon.

KillEmAll4u Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 As I recall they were pretty close to being the same length. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on that one. Very very nice levers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.C. Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thanks everyone for some pointers. I decided to go with the Evotech levers which I found on eBay. It took about a week and a half to get them over the pond to the US. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxkiwi Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 If you have the GT you need to order MT10 levers. As MT09 levers foul the larger switchblock on the clutch side. That's for the Ebay ones. More expensive reputable brand ones might well clear the block? Don't ask me how I know this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyN Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 What I do is use my favorite parts supplier (partzilla.com) and do a cross reference check on the aftermarket part I'm trying to figure out the fit.
