DescriptionThe whole story▼

The F850GS spent years as the sensible middle of BMW's adventure range, and a great many are now second-hand with high mileages. High mileage is where a worn control makes itself known, because the rider has thousands of applications to compare against.

Key Features

  • 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
  • CNC-machined from solid aluminium, black anodised
  • Milled Gilles face for a secure gloved grip
  • No registration required in Germany

Material and Bearing

Solid aluminium, machined and hard anodised, with the pivot bore phosphated separately. The original lever on a bike this age has usually developed play, and play arrives as a dead zone before the pads touch.

Loaded and Two-Up

These bikes tour. With luggage and a passenger the front takes longer to settle and braking becomes a longer, more deliberate action — one that has to start from the strong part of the fingers rather than the tips.

A Practical Upgrade

Nothing about the fitting is permanent: the original pivot bolt and nut are reused. On a used bike being brought back up to standard, that is the kind of change that costs little and is felt daily.

Road Approval

This item needs no entry in the vehicle papers. Fitting it leaves the registered specification of the motorcycle unchanged, which is why no approval document and no inspection are required.

Scope of Delivery

A single black brake lever for the F850GS, supplied alone using the original pivot hardware.
