if the lever secures enough tension length and the bowden cable can be hooked in to separate the clutch clean, you can mount it. but reckon that a professional tüv examiner who notices at the next HU that it is not an original part.

The TÜV does not notice this, but the police likes to control this and because brake and clutch levers without E number represent a safety risk, your motorcycle will then be shut down until you change the levers.

what do you think? but if the lever works correctly, and also is not optically fancy, the examiner does not notice that because it focuses on other things.

if it is a lever from the accessory, so not OEM, then it must be identical to the OEM and have impressed an “E” test mark… then there are no problems. All other items require ABE or individual opinions and registration in the certificate of authorisation, by the TÜV/Approval Body

Similar levers with “E” test marks need not be entered. Whether they come from Magura, Pro-Brake, Sachs, ATE, Brembo, Lucas, etc. or the Polo, or Louis own brands. These manufacturers hold the appropriate ABE ́s / have made sample reviews for their offered spare parts.
The problem is with self-printed or milled spare parts, or Spare parts made exclusively for racing. In the case of such spare parts, I would have the utmost caution, and would not be allowed to do so, even with TÜV expert opinion and registration in the certificate of authorisation. However, the costs for expert opinions and registration are not proportional. The TÜV individual opinion for a printed or milled brake lever is already close to the 1,000 € mark, the registration costs approx. 20 – 40 euros. For the money you can wear 2 original levers every year.

I’ll give you the right… at the TÜV it won’t be noticed…. There are problems only when the wrong lever is caused by an accident (which I can hardly imagine in the clutch lever if it does not increase the previous vehicle dimensions). In this case, a motor vehicle expert would recognise the type-approval for the entire vehicle, which in turn means: no valid authorisation and no insurance cover at the time of the accident.

there are different levers, basic features:

  • Cable or hydraulic lever
  • with or without handle adjustment
  • different types of construction

all levers on the left and right

You already need to use the levers that are provided for your vehicle and have an “E” test mark.
