DescriptionThe whole story▼

A folding lever on a Z1000SX is the difference between a scuff and a recovery truck. The LEVD149H is Model H of LighTech's brake lever range, machined in magnesium and aluminium. Sold individually, so a matched pair on the Z1000SX is two part numbers.

Key Features

  • The blade is the sacrificial part, not the master cylinder of the Z1000SX
  • Model H is the newest of the three lever models
  • Machined from magnesium and aluminium, not cast
  • Folding design: the lever gives way instead of snapping at the perch
  • Folds away on contact, which is what keeps a Z1000SX rideable after a drop
  • No drilling, no cutting, nothing permanent on the Z1000SX

Fitment and Compatibility

This listing covers the Kawasaki Z1000SX, 2017 to 2020. The original Z1000SX hardware carries it; keep the old lever as a spare.

What Folding Buys You

A brake lever that does not fold is a brake lever that breaks. Where the original blade transmits a crash into the master cylinder, the LEVD149H folds out of the way. Made in Italy throughout, with the tricolour on the blade.

Installation

The LEVD149H goes on with the Z1000SX on its stand, engine cold. Work the lever through its full travel before you trust it on the Z1000SX. Nothing on the Z1000SX is altered permanently.

Scope of Delivery

One lever per box for the Z1000SX. Grip inserts and spare pivots are listed under their own numbers.

Choosing a Model

LighTech's H is a geometry revision, not a finish option. The blade shape differs from the earlier models; the material and the folding mechanism do not. All three models mount to the Z1000SX the same way; only this detail differs.

Approval and Road Use

The manufacturer declares compliance with the highway code for this lever family. No type-approval certificate accompanies the LEVD149H, whatever the manufacturer states. Clarify it in advance if the Z1000SX is used on public roads.
