ASV C5 levers- best option out there

Recommended Posts

I just installed the new ASV C5 clutch and brake levers. These are high quality! Great feel, shorty options, and custom colors. My local shop GP sports in San Jose had them available.

I've used these on previous moto's and been really happy. They work well with winter gloves and summer gloves. I'm really impressed with my clutch lever combined with the Camel adv 1-finger upgrades also. The combination feels as good as my hydraulic clutch on my Husky dirt bikes.

Those look great.  Is there any play/movement in the levers?  I bought a cheap pair from Amazon, and although they work fine for $35, there is some up and down and forward/aft movement in the levers that I don't like.  There wasn't any play with the OEM levers.

There isn't any play in these.  They feel great. If anything they are a little too tight, but I figure they will wear in a little.

@Seventh Son  after about 10 rides and 500 more miles, the brake levers are definetly looser. They aren't as loose as the stock levers but for sure loosened up some.  It's not noticeable while riding but I think because they are breakaway levers they have more play than when I first installed them. I still love the levers!

How is the reach on the clutch side?

@jontoptek I have the reach setup close to the bar. They are adjustable too.

Anyone try the Acerbis X-factor handguards with their ASV C5's? Same clearance issue?

 

Threw about 5mm of washers on the bolt that connects to the inside handlebar mount to get my barkbusters to clear.

@SantacruzT100 - I recently bought the 1 finger clutch and the shorty ASV levers.   One of the issues I'm running into is increased clutch drag due to the lever ratios changing and not disengaging the clutch completely.  I tried the shortest lever length (1st hole) and the medium lever length (2nd hole).  I even adjust the ASV lever to be farther away from the grip and that didn't seem to help the downshift clunk even when pulled all the way to the grip.  I'm confident in how I installed the parts and have correct cable free play.  Before the mods the down shifting was rough but after it's way worse.  Does anyone have any insight to hard/rough/clunky downshifting on these bikes?

I bought a set that was silver, long version and they have held up well. I believe there shorter than the stock levers.
