new levers for cfmoto 650nk

[pommie]

Just another change to my cfmoto 650nk cnc alloy levers needed a bit of work for them to fit but they do work well. have yet to change the mirrors to something better. I did have endure mirrors attached to handle bars but couldn't see any thing behind me

Hey Pommie,

Bars and levers look good! What levers did you start off with? Also, does the little 6 position selector switch still work after the modifications?

I think I may have seen your bike on the CFMOTO Aus facey page - looks very cool.

Any info would be greatly appreciated :D

I can confirm that levers from 07-08 Er6 will fit CF650, 09-11 will fit 50%.

Clutch lever is the same on all ER6 models up to 2011, but brake lever is different from 2009 onwards, so it would need some modification to get it to work.

hi zach.

the levers are for a 06 er6n and you need to file down some of the lever bolt hole as its to wide (about 2-3mm) also had to drill and tap a new thread and fit a cut down bolt for the brake master to work...as for the 6 postion selector still works without any issues, the clutch is on 2, brake on 6 as i like the brake lever close as i use 2 fingers for brake control.
As for CFMOTO facebook yes its my bike.

I must say that if you had to drill and tap brake lever it was not from 06 but 09 :) as that was the year when Kawasaki decided to change the design.Screen Shot 2013-12-22 at 20.53.28 .jpg

here is picture from 06 kawasaki parts diagram and as you can see its identical to CF650

ok the levers I used are for a er6n 06 onwards, as this is the era cfmoto used for the design of this bike as for my brake lever and adding the bolt its so the brake switch will work. also ive added bar end mirrors as the massive cow horns on the bike are just shocking. not sure about anyone else but I could never see anything behind me due to the bad vibration or should I say badly made mirrors...also a digital clock only for the fact cfmoto forgot to add it into the cluster display (again ebay special)

I was thinking Rizoma reverse classic mirrors.. but they are quite expensive so i think i just go for fake ones. Bike is made in China so why not mirrors too ;)

So you added bolt to hit the clutch master cylinder? that's because from 2006-2008 it was level and clutch lever had dimple to press it, but from 2009 onwards Kawasaki changed design and now clutch master cylinder had a shaft with ball end to mate it to clutch lever. i also seen adds what say kawasaki Er6 clutch lever 2006-2011 but its not correct.
i also did same mod to my lever.

I can confirm also the Kawasaki ER 6N '06' adjustable clutch lever is the same for the 2013 650NK. However, the same can't be said about the brake lever for the same model.

My clutch pinged apart and took ages to find a replacement. Was held together with duct tape for a while...

The brake lever unfortunately did not fit. The part was too wide to fit into the bracket.
Before I bought the Kawasaki levers, I had bought some shorty levers on ebay. They were looking like they were not being delivered, so that's when I purchased the K levers from wemoto.com.au
Then, the ebay levers arrived. I was glad because I had one black lever and one chrome lever on my bike due to the ill fitting Kawasaki brake lever.
Anyway, the ebay clutch lever fit perfectly, probably better than the original with less give, but the brake lever needed a little adjusting for them to fit. I had to file down both the body of the lever where the bolt goes through, and had to file down the extra bit of metal where the brake light switch is held in. These few minor adjustments allowed the lever to fit perfectly.

I like how the shorty's look in the end.

If anyone knows of a better fitting brake lever from another brand that will just perfectly fit the 2013 650NK, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, the K clutch lever does fit but as far as I can tell, it only comes in black if you need the adjuster.
