Big Mike NY Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 Happy New Year Heathens! 😎 I run Pro Taper SE cr mid dirt bike handle bars on my banshee with their clutch lever and perch. I want to run their front brake lever and my question is will the dirt bike front brake lever work with the oem front brake reservoir? Any one else running a Pro Taper front brake lever? Pics to share? Part #? Thank you- Mike Quote
ATV_hub Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 Unfortunately I doubt it, it’s possible you may find one that bolts up but I would imagine it would not perform well. Mx bikes usually have 11mm master cylinders while on atvs they are usually 22mm the levers would be designed accordingly. JMO. -Ben Quote
Big Mike NY Posted January 3, 2021 Author Report Posted January 3, 2021 Damn.. What is my option use a different master cylinder? Will a YZF 450 master work, then i could use a dirt bike front lever right? Quote
ATV_hub Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 The bore size on mx master cylinders is smaller as they only need to operate one caliper. They will not build enough pressure to operate 2 calipers effectively. I wouldn’t sacrifice performance for matching levers. Asv’s could be an option if you want matching levers? Yfzr master cylinder is also a nice upgrade Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 Get yfz 2007+ master cyl, get yfz double pistons galipers an buy perch accordinglyEnvoyé de mon SM-N975W en utilisant Tapatalk 1 Quote
Big Mike NY Posted January 3, 2021 Author Report Posted January 3, 2021 Thank you guys that is a plan too.. are there options for a shorter after market lever only for the oem master cylinder? Quote
ATV_hub Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 Asv make shorty levers for oem master cylinders, atv galaxy have them on their eBay, probably some cheeper leavers on there too, decide whether you will upgrade the master cylinder before you buy. The 2009+ yfzr master cylinders are the tits https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASV-UNBREAKABLE-F3-SHORTY-BLACK-CLUTCH-BRAKE-LEVERS-DUST-COVERS-YAMAHA-BANSHEE/362013258888?epid=20026262601&hash=item5449abf488:g:~M0AAOSwmLlX5qTU 1 Quote

Yes, you can buy just one lever, what ever the side.I bought StreamLine "Reflex" shorty levers years ago, they run great.I had to make a new "link" when i did the yfz conversion 'cause the brakes levers were not compatible.Envoyé de mon SM-N975W en utilisant Tapatalk 2 Quote
