Arc brake lever

[dan408]

Just checking if anyone here has ever installed this kind of arc brake lever on their older cr250's. I'm trying to put this on a 2002 cr250 and according to their website this is the match to my bike. The problem is that the oem has a small spring that site inside the master cylinder and also there is a small hole drilled into the oem brake lever that hold the other end of that spring which allows the rebound tension . These arc levers do not have that cut out for the spring.I have tried communicating this with the company and good luck trying to get a hold of them . All you ever get is a answering machine n response back. In my opinion they have great product but horrible customer service. By the way the model lever is a BR-501

I'm sure nobody on here with the same bike has never installed this brake lever on thier bike.

I'm still searching for a answer to this problem. I can't believe how impossible it is reach a single person at arc levers . You can't leave a voice mail because apparently they're voicelmailbox is full. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to just purchase from another manufacturer.

Maybe drill out the hole you need?  Granted, shouldn't have to with a new part, but you never know these days.

Yes I think I'm going to have to do that. What the heck is up with this company they seriously have 0% customer service. I guess they are to busy accommodating the pro riders and forgot bout us the general cosumer. No lie I have called them ten times sent a message on their site many days ago still no response.I'm just about ready to purchase a whole new brake lever from a competitor. It's to bad because I had there clutch lever n brake lever on my 07 crf450 and loved them they were. Held up very well on a good crash or two. No hassle with the levers for that make and year they bolted right up .

How's it work without the spring ? Have you tried it ?

[dan408]

I returned it back to the store. When I installed it the lever just flicked back n forth with no tension to go back into place . Just like a clutch lever would with no cable attached. I was actually thinking of drilling a hole in the lever but thought about it and said I really shouldn't have to do this to a new accessorie that was made to bolt right up that costs 65.00. Any thoughts on another good brake lever comparable in quality to an arc lever . I don't have the desire to give them any of my business anymore. Not much of a fan of works connection,
