clutch lever changed issues

[Random13]

Hi All,


I changed my clutch lever to the short ones you get on ebay .

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Short-Clutch-Brake-Levers-for-Suzuki-SV650-S-V-STROM-DL-650-KATANA-GSX-600-750-F-/191060328871?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2c7c1541a7


now it doesn't return to its first position once pulled in and have to be munally forced back out so the clutch engages.

is this because I might have tighten the screw too much?

I guess the lever has no spring etc and the only way it returns to its original form is the cable pulling it in and as this might be too tight the cable can not do that .

I am checking it later today when i get home but wanted to get some opinion on this .

thanks

Sounds like shit fitment to me.

so tighten the nut too much ?

is it the cable that pulls that back in ?

For anyone that may see this in the future,

I fixed it by loosening the nut a bit

And yes the cable does pull the lever back out

Thanks
