I’d be happy to - I’m up in the Bay Area. I’ve sent parts to Woodcraft (rearsets and bodywork) and would love to do the same with you guys.
I can drop mine off, perhaps today, I'm local. I replaced the master, partly due to availability of a spare lever, so it's sitting on the shelf now so that should work fine for you and me.Hi all,
I work with the owner here at ASV Inventions and we are having no luck getting parts to R&D a new brake lever for the R7. All of our dealers and suppliers are out of stock till Mid-next year. We need a brake lever and the brake master cylinder for about 2-3 weeks. In exchange, you will give you a full brake and clutch set for free in any color combo you like. Keep in mind you probably wont be able to ride while we are developing the lever.
We are based out of Huntington Beach, California and we would prefer someone local but are also open to someone mailing us parts.
I dropped it off Friday. Hopefully it's an easy production change and setup from an existing lever spec. Or however they do it.I look forward to seeing the outcome! There need to be more adjustable brake options.
If possible, just let us know which is the typical replacement type for the brake lever...I dropped it off Friday. Hopefully it's an easy production change and setup from an existing lever spec. Or however they do it.![]()
Since it is a brand new master, that is a hard find and the stock lever was not available from Yamaha. It is a bit different than the normal RCS line, you can't just use a Brembo 19 or similar lever. Maybe they have one, that answer may need to come from Brembo themselves.If possible, just let us know which is the typical replacement type for the brake lever...![]()
Okay, interesting to learn that Yamaha went to a new master on a budget bike. Instead of relying on existing designs what hey use since decades.Since it is a brand new master, that is a hard find and the stock lever was not available from Yamaha.

It has been measured or spec by someone on here to be 16mm.Okay, interesting to learn that Yamaha went to a new master on a budget bike. Instead of relying on existing designs what hey use since decades.
Do you remember the nominal piston diameter of the master?
Thanks Vansmack, we will keep you and everyone else posted here on progress.I dropped it off Friday. Hopefully it's an easy production change and setup from an existing lever spec. Or however they do it.![]()
I haven’t used one before, I will have to look it up. If it works I think that would solve the problem with the asv race lever - I think it kinda fit, but had a little bit of a clearance issue if I remember correctly…You could use a pressure switch to activate the brake light perhaps. I do not have the stock master right now to look at the setup to see about potential clearance issues.
I switched to a Brembo 19RCS master and running a double banjo from it (separate brake lines) it definitely has clearance issues with the stock risers being in so tight. Thank goodness for folding levers! It's not bad, I just had not thought of it being an issue prior to installation.I haven’t used one before, I will have to look it up.

I like the stock bar position, I don't think I want to go farther forward just to provide for more clearance.
