DescriptionThe whole story▼

Lever reach on a Z1000SX is the adjustment most riders never make because the original resists it. The LEVD149J is Model J of LighTech's brake lever range, machined in magnesium and aluminium. Fitted to the Z1000SX it uses the original pivot and the original perch.

Key Features

  • The blade is the sacrificial part, not the master cylinder of the Z1000SX
  • 100 % Made in Italy, with the tricolour logo on the blade
  • 250 g — lighter than the original brake lever of the Z1000SX
  • Reach adjustment on the blade
  • LighTech levers are run by teams in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and WSBK
  • Machined from magnesium and aluminium, not cast

Compatibility

LighTech catalogues the LEVD149J for the Z1000SX (2017 to 2020). The LEVD149J uses the original pivot bolt and the original perch of the Z1000SX.

What Folding Buys You

Magnesium and aluminium are not chosen for the look of them. The LEVD149J is Model J: foldable, 250 g, and lighter than the part it replaces. LighTech levers are used by teams in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and WSBK.

Fitting

No fluid is lost fitting the LEVD149J to a Z1000SX — the circuit stays closed. Set the reach before the first ride, not at the first corner. The original lever goes back on the Z1000SX any time.

What You Get

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

Choosing a Model

Model J exists for riders who want the lever to disappear into the bike. The blade is one piece and one colour, which keeps the part count down. Choosing between this and the K with its grip inserts and the H with its revised geometry is a question of hand and taste, not of fit.

Approval and Road Use

According to LighTech, the range meets the requirements of the applicable road regulations. It is a manufacturer declaration; there is no ABE and no Teilegutachten in the LEVD149J box. On a registered Z1000SX the inspector decides, not the manufacturer's leaflet.
