    Hi,

    2012 KTM 690 ER:

    I would like some feedback on the Clean Speed Eng brake lever. I had the stock lever twist 90 degrees so the tip was pointing straight up.

    Thanks,

    MrHix

    OK,

    If I decide to get one, I will try and post a review here.

    Cheers,

    A compression release? That is 60’s technology, we needed them because MC brakes were next to non existent
    Also, the bikes were hard to start, a compression release helped with that.

    Yeah, I think I understand what you are buying but I am amazed at new bike having a compression release.
    What do you use it for, not braking I hope.:eek1

    Sorry, I don't have any experience with those levers. They look nice though.

    His bike doesnt have a Compression release. He's asking about a New Brake lever.

    I think almost all current 4 strokes have compression release systems for starting. Normally on the end of one of the cam shafts and automatic.

    Thanks RustyStuff.
