DescriptionThe whole story▼

Dropping a Z800 at a standstill usually costs a brake lever. LighTech builds the LEVD148K as Model K (ALIEN) — foldable, lighter than the original, with black rubber inserts for grip, with other colours available separately. It bolts to the Z800 with the original hardware — nothing else is needed.

Key Features

  • The inserts are available in other colours as separate LighTech items
  • Replaces the factory lever directly on the Z800
  • Developed for the braking loads a Z800 actually generates
  • LighTech part number LEVD148K, listed for the Kawasaki Z800
  • No drilling, no cutting, nothing permanent on the Z800
  • Sold individually; a matched pair on the Z800 is two part numbers

Fitment and Compatibility

The listing is the Z800, model years 2013 to 2016. It replaces the original lever on the standard perch of the Z800 — no adapter and no modification.

The Case for Magnesium

There are two reasons to change a lever, and only one of them is weight. The LEVD148K carries LighTech's reach adjustment, which the original Z800 lever does not. At 250 g the LEVD148K is lighter than the original on the Z800.

Installation

No fluid is lost fitting the LEVD148K to a Z800 — the circuit stays closed. Work the lever through its full travel before you trust it on the Z800. No bleeding and no adjustment of the master cylinder is involved.

Supplied As

The LEVD148K arrives as a single lever with its pivot hardware. Keep the reference — a second order for the same Z800 is then unambiguous.

J, K and H

The ALIEN is the K, and the inserts are its reason for being. Standard black inserts, with LighTech's colour range available separately for the Z800. If this is not the one, the plain black J and the newer H geometry fit the Z800 identically.

Approval and Road Use

LighTech states that its brake and clutch levers are produced in compliance with the highway code and the applicable laws. A declaration is not a certificate, and the LEVD148K ships without one. Track and paddock use raise no question; a road-registered Z800 might.
