DescriptionThe whole story▼

The F850GS was the middleweight that finally gave the parallel twin a proper 270-degree firing order, and that change is felt most at low revs where the engine pulls with more character and less smoothness. Character at low revs is managed with the clutch.

Key Features

  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • CNC-machined from solid aluminium, black anodised
  • Milled Gilles face for a secure gloved grip
  • Bolts to the original master cylinder without adapters
  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Material and Bearing

Solid aluminium, machined and hard anodised, with the pivot bore phosphated separately. It arrives tight and stays so on a bike that will see grit and water at the cockpit rather than a heated garage.

A 270-Degree Twin at Walking Pace

The uneven firing interval gives usable feel at very low speed but asks for a more deliberate clutch hand than a smooth twin would. Holding a precise point for a sustained period is far easier when the blade sits within the fingers' natural reach.

Gloves Are Part of the Sum

Adventure gloves are thicker than road gloves, and every millimetre of glove is a millimetre of effective reach. The adjuster wheel takes that back by hand, at the side of the road, without tools.

Road Approval

Approved for German roads under ABE No. KBA 91203, downloadable from this page. No entry in the vehicle documents and no testing-organisation inspection are needed.

Scope of Delivery

A single black clutch lever for the F850GS. The switch actuation is carried over from the factory lever.
