DescriptionThe whole story▼

This is the clutch side for the later Z1000, built from 2017. An inline four with almost nothing below four thousand revs means town riding is managed with the left hand rather than the right.

Key Features

  • Bolts to the original master cylinder without adapters
  • 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
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Milled and Finished

One piece of aluminium, machined, bearing bore treated in its own pass, black. Free of slop, which on a control worked this often is the specification that reveals itself first.

No Torque, Use the Clutch

A peaky litre four asks for a slipped clutch at the speeds where a twin would simply pull. That is sustained, precise work, and it is tiring when the hand must open fully for each application.

Which Years

Model years 2017 to 2020. The earlier Z1000 takes a different reference from the FXL family — go by the year rather than the model name.

Road Approval

This lever holds ABE No. KBA 91203. That means no entry, no inspection and no paperwork beyond carrying the printed document, which is available from the download on this page.

Scope of Delivery

One clutch lever in black. The clutch switch actuator is not included: it transfers from the original lever during fitting, so keep the old one to hand until the swap is finished and the starter interlock has been checked.
