Rollos

Here's a clearer picture. Bolt ripped in half. Pretty sure that's not supposed to happen.

I'm in contact with the manufacturer. It might be just a one off production flaw. We'll see what they say

NYC is probably the ultimate bike protection proving ground. Getting out of my Manhattan office today and noticed that someone moved my bike. By moved I mean from vertical to horizontal and then back to vertical. Looks like the frame sliders I got from T-Rex don't protect. Time to shop for a new mid-fairing...

Hey Bigdan, This isn't an installation issue. ASV has verified that they manufactured the clutch levers for an older version of the master cylinder. DM me if you want details.

That's interesting. I would've thought they would use a similar design for both levers. Just to confirm, the clutch switch operates as expected? You notice the increase of 250 rpm as you let off clutch in 1st?

Just heard back from ASV. Turns out that the gen8 has an upgraded master cylinder and lever. What's being sold now as gen8 levers don't take this difference into consideration. The lever works but will not produce the 250 rpm ramp up in 1st. They'll be manufacturing new clutch levers to rectify in a few months and will exchange mine regardless of condition when they are ready. If anyone else is running a gen8 ASV clutch lever you might want to contact them.

No problem Fink, I was hoping you were seeing something I wasn't. Still waiting to hear back from Bob at ASV. I'm hoping that the Honda dealership by Huntington Beach, CA has an 8th gen hanging around. If not, if anyone here is local to ASV and would like to help shoot me a DM.

I guess that's what's gotten me confused. The pdf shows crf345 as the right part #, the box shows 345sr as the part, r being red. Help me out here. Where did you get crf310??

The fitment pdf attached lists crf345 as the correct part number for 2014 vfr800f. What brochure are you referring to?

It is according to the ASV fitment guide. street-honda.pdf

So a little update. I was wrong about the spacers, they're to fit the lever not adjust the switch contact point. I think I'm right about the switch timing though. Bob (who made the levers) at Asv is going to go to the local Honda and hopefully do some tests. I sent him this pic. Arrows are the switch contact point.

Haven't switched off the lever yet but I just had a thought about what might be the issue and figured I'd run it by you guys. Asv includes a number of spacers which interface with the clutch switch. I've installed the recommended spacer but it's possible that the switch is deactivating later than the clutch reaching the friction zone and therefore not activating the 250 rpm increase. My thought is maybe use a different spacer and I've reached out to Bob at Asv to see which he'd recommend.

Road with the Oem levers just before the install and had no issue with the 250 rpm increase. I'll switch the Oem clutch back on tomorrow to see if I can figure out what the issue is

Yes, definitely hear the click.

So I made sure after the install that the bike would not start in first without pulling the clutch and that it would start in first with the clutch pulled. Could it still be the switch?
