DescriptionThe whole story▼

This reference covers the 2014 to 2016 Z1000, the generation with the angular styling and very little torque below four thousand revs. An engine with that character asks the clutch to do work a torquier motor would not need.

Key Features

  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • Folding blade that swings clear instead of snapping off
  • Engineered break point inside the two-finger zone
  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • Type approval still in preparation — not yet road legal in Germany

Material and Bearing

Solid aluminium, milled, bearing bore treated separately before assembly, finished black. Slop-free, which matters on a bike where the clutch is slipped rather than simply released.

No Torque, Use the Left Hand

A peaky litre four needs revs to pull cleanly, which means slipping the clutch at speeds where a twin would simply drive. Sustained slipping is precise work and it is tiring when the hand must open fully to reach the blade.

Which Years

Model years 2014 to 2016. The later Z1000 takes a different reference from the FXL family, so check the fitment line below rather than the model name.

Road Approval

The type approval for this reference has not been issued yet. Until it is, the part is not covered for use on German public roads, so treat it as a closed-course item and check back before fitting it to a road-registered machine.

Scope of Delivery

Supplied as a single black clutch lever. The switch actuation is carried over from the factory lever and is not part of the delivery, so do not discard the original until fitting is complete.
