In this video I show the possible dangers of using cheap aftermarket CNC motorcycle brake levers. This particular lever was fitted to our recently purchased Moto Guzzi 750 Breva.
Wow- good catch! I never would've guessed from the 1st seized caliper that it was a master cylinder problem! The only thing I would've seen was the uneven wear between the pads. Great info for anyone swapping levers on any bike of any year! Such a common mod. Thanks again for the insight!
Good info - I have fairly short hands for the levers on some of my bikes and have thought about aftermarket ones but I’ve heard this type of thing can happen and have survived with what I have. I did put a set of pazzo shorties on a Street Triple I owned years ago. That was ok.

Thanks Mike, I didn't know that about the aftermarket levers.
Really nice and educational video. Thanks from Croatia.
Thanks Mike, very informative and something for us all to watch out for!
Enjoyed the video Mike. Should be many kilometers of fun on the Breva ahead. RIDE SAFE!
Thanks for the video Mike. Just in time as I've been contemplating changing the levers out on my 08 Breva 750. Keep them coming!
Very interesting ... thank you for showing this!
Great video- I am planning to by a Breva (used)
Good tip Mike, I've learned something useful today. Very pleased with the Guzzi T-shirt I bought from your online store too. 👍🏻 🇬🇧
A really worthwhile tip. Cheers.
Hey Mike, keep up the good work. Love from India!

Just got caught out with a dodgy lever. 😮
