Wanted to share my very disappointing experience with adjustable-levers.com . . . ordered a set of their levers for my cbr250r (non-abs). They arrived a few weeks later from China. Nice build quality for the $110. Started with the clutch installation and ... no dice.

There's a 2 millimeter difference in the part that pivots around the bolt, and the flange that hits some doo-hickey button on the inside of that part of the clutch assembly doo-dad is in a different place and different shape... can't even get the bolt to go through, even though the bolt hole is the correct size.

Contacted the company, was asked to send photos laid against the original clutch lever, then told that "They fit the ABS model" so it's your bike, not the levers that are the problem. The CSR told me to "file it to fit." Huh.

Went back to my invoice to double check, and I correctly ordered the non-abs version, which shouldn't impact the clutch anyway. I asked for info to return them and ... suddenly no CSR response from "Jackie."

Ok this was in some of the reviews on the levers no need to worry, mine came the the same way but what are you going to do send them Back to china? No... Make an adjustment to the lever that's not fitting correctly. It happen to my left side and all I did was take my trimmel and bore the hole out alittle more on the lever NOT THE BIKE. And with a little push and play the lever fit nice and snug an works perfectly.also once you get the lever on if it sticks just loosen the nut that goes on the end of the pin and after you break in the lever you can then go back and tighten the nut and it won't stick anymore. Any problems please feel free to pm me!

It's the U.S. Customs agents... every day, at every port, they keep signing off on all this crap entering the country from China.

If you can anodize it, they will buy it.

lol when i got mine they stuck, i pulled in the clutch, let it go and it stayed pulled in haha - but that was on the 6th setting but it was still tighter than stock on lower settings.

after a while like you said when they ware in it is all good. I prefer the feel of the levers compared to stock. There is a difference between friction point of the clutch - it is closer to the handlebars and the brake lever doesn't feel as spongy feel like the stock lever does

China do make a lot of high quality stuff, as well as a lot of cheap crap. Take IBM servers for example. I wouldn't say they were poor quality. Their motorcycles aren't up to scratch yet, but I think it's only a matter of time before they are. They're already building some decent cars over there.

Japanese motorcycles started as cheap crap as well. My father grew up in the Dutch Indies (currently Indonesia) and they had Japanese bicycles there; they were cheap but rubbish (that was 60 years ago or so). All industrializing countries start by producing T3 (Toys, T-shirts and Trash) products and learning how to solve production problems to increase productivity by utilizing the Verdoorn-Kaldor effect. South Korea is an excellent example too; subsidized industry producing ever better becoming cars (Kia/Hyundai) just to learn efficient production.

Difference is Japanese Corrolla's, Civics, Toyota Hilux's , Yamaha Dt1's Honda C50's C90's XR75's cb125's etc etc were GOOD,
nothing like Chinese products today.

Top 10 Chinese cars. Some of the names seem quite funny to me, but I expect we'll see plenty of Chinese cars all over the world within 10 years.
