DescriptionThe whole story▼

On a NINJA 500 the brake lever is both a control and the first thing to break. That is what the LEVD139J answers: a folding brake lever for the NINJA 500 with a uniform black finish, no inserts. Sold individually, so a matched pair on the NINJA 500 is two part numbers.

Key Features

  • Replaces the factory lever directly on the NINJA 500
  • Model J is the plainest of the three LighTech lever models
  • Covers the NINJA 500 across 3 model years (2024 to 2026)
  • Uses the original pivot and perch of the NINJA 500 — no adapter
  • It costs less than the bodywork a folding lever protects
  • Reach adjustment the original NINJA 500 lever does not offer

Fitment

LighTech lists the LEVD139J for the Kawasaki NINJA 500. Nothing on the NINJA 500 is drilled; the factory lever comes off and this one goes on.

Fitting

No fluid is lost fitting the LEVD139J to a NINJA 500 — the circuit stays closed. Set the reach before the first ride, not at the first corner. Re-check the pivot bolt after the first ride.

The Case for Magnesium

Reach is personal, and the factory lever on the NINJA 500 treats it as optional. LighTech machines the LEVD139J from magnesium and aluminium and hinges the blade so it folds under impact. LighTech levers are used by teams in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and WSBK.

J, K and H

LighTech's J is the quiet member of the range. Black throughout, which also means the blade shows wear less than a two-tone lever. All three models mount to the NINJA 500 the same way; only this detail differs.

What Is in the Box

LighTech ships the LEVD139J individually, not as a left-and-right pair. A matched pair on the NINJA 500 means ordering both sides.

Road Approval

The manufacturer's position is that the lever range complies with the relevant road legislation. We pass that on as LighTech's claim. No German approval document accompanies the LEVD139J. Track and paddock use raise no question; a road-registered NINJA 500 might.
