cornishflyer Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Does anyone know which levers work with 2007 AJP clutch master cylinders? I've just received a replacement that was supposed to work but the angle at which the adjuster acts on the plunger is so acute it's seriously affecting the smoothness. The distance of the threaded adjuster hole is greater on the replacement lever than the genuine AJP lever (the left silver one in the picture). I'm told the AJP levers are no longer available, so what would be a good replacement? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishflyer Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Hi oni nou, That photo was just to illustrate the angle, hence no lock screw. There is actually around 3mm of travel at the lever, but there isn't any free play at the adjuster side because of the spring underneath the rubber boot. Perhaps the problem is that the push pin is not seated correctly.. I'll need to check that. The original AJP lever positioned the adjuster square onto the plunger. To me it looks like the lever I ordered, which was supposed to be a direct replacement, has the adjuster too far from the pivot point of the lever.

lineaway Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Looks to me like the stop bolt at the master cylinder is too short as the lever sits too far out causing the plunger to come about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cragvale Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I bought flexible levers recently to achieve better adjustment and control for small hands and very happy with them. They are widely available albeit they cost more than standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capper Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've used trialcast levers, fitted ok and bend rather than break (mostly)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splatshop Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 All the Sherco AJP master cylinders used a slightly different master cylinder and lever to all the other bikes, the distance from the pivot point to the plunger is shorter to make the clutch easier & slower. The original AJP Sherco levers are still available but expensive:http://www.splatshop.co.uk/ajp-silver-clutch-lever-medium-sherco.html Or S3 do a version of their digit levers:http://www.splatshop.co.uk/s3-digit-ajp-grimeca-brake-clutch-levers.html The brake levers are the same as all the rest.

cornishflyer Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks Tim, that's exactly what I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I had a similar problem when I fitted ARC folding levers when I first received my Jarvis rep, I ended up working our where the pivot needed to be & machined a large enough hole to take a bush, was only about 1-1 1/2mm difference but it fixed the problem If you have an engineering background or know someone who has access to a lathe & mill it's an easy job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
