hey guys Albe here, this episode is gonna be a joint episode with the
Ducati scrambler on one side and the BMW F800GS on the other, now two bikes one part
and when I say one part I mean the same part for both bikes, we're talking about
aluminium machine levers, so to be specific we have the Ride It aluminum
machine levers, I had those levers on most of my bikes I had them on my monster
796 I had them on my BMW s1000rr and now it's time to put them on those two
bikes, those levers do come from China and I know some people get skittish when
we talk about stuff that comes from China but so far I had a pretty good
experience with those particular levers, first of all you can adjust the distance
from the handlebar with this little lever up here second of all you can adjust how
wide you want those levers to be, they actually stretch so if you want a full
length you can have a full length if you use two fingers you can have the two
fingers on and third of all which I kind of like a lot, those are foldable
levers so in case of a fall the lever in theory should fold up rather than snap,
they come particularly Handy on an off road where you never know, beside those
levers are not that expensive check the description below for the link, I do know
that on the other bikes I I kept them for a while and they did not discolor or
give me any problem, so, there they are, but enough with the chit chat let's get on it.
we are going to start with the brake levers I've never done this before on
this specific bike so in theory the only tools I'm going to need for the
scrambler which is the one we're gonna start with first, is a ten millimeter
wrench and a flat screwdriver, let's see how it goes, as you guys can see there is
really not much going on on this lever over here, the only thing I want to make
you guys pay attention to is the screw inside over here, we are gonna have to
adjust the screw on the new levers somewhat later on and that's exactly the
screw we're gonna be dealing with, but other than that the only thing we really
need to do is undo this one over here which has a nut on the bottom side, let's
get our 19 millimeter and let's undo this, the switch is down and then we just
pull out, just need to put the new levers in, but before we do that let's take a
look at what we got left after we take apart the lever, you have the main bolt
that goes through and holds the lever in place you have this little bracket that
holds the sensor in place you have the nut that goes on the backside of that
and you have this little bitty thing billeting looking like licorice that
came out of back here, this is the piston that goes back and forth inside here to
activate the or the brake switch, new lever going in it looks right sits right
and somehow is........ there you go all the way,
first we put the bracket back on the sensor then we put the little licorice
in the hole right there, then we lift the sensor up put in the little prong in the
hole and the bracket, and at this point we can actually put the nut back on and
tie it up, we can hear the familiar click, one down three more to go, in the case of the
BMW brake is gonna be just as easy if not easier because I believe that the
switch for the for the brake lights is actually positioned somewhere else other
than on the lever so in theory the only thing we're gonna need is t25 and eight
millimeter, so let's do it, we're gonna hold the nut down here on the bottom we
gonna undo the top, now it's time to pop the bolt, okay so we got to push this
little brass thing in here out, which seems to be easy enough
okay brass thing came out and now the little spring came out and finally the
lever came up, I got the little spring in there I got the brass thing attached to
it now I'm going to slide this in
so apparently if you pull hard enough this thing pops out. So putting the
little brass thing back in there was an absolute nightmare I believe you do not
actually need the spring in there because the spring is to adjust the
lever back and forth and this lever adjust back and forth by this lever over
here so spare yourself some pain get rid of that spring up set it aside and then
let's put that little prong back inside there there you go and this is the easy
part just put the lever back on
at this point I'm gonna put in a little nut, what do you know
doesn't even spin,, it comes back just fine all the way it doesn't stick or
anything but it feels stiff, so, maybe it's because I just touched the one from
the scrambler which is really soft the only test I can do is keep a single
shot just to show you guys that I'm not doing camera tricks or anything, I lift
up the the bike, spin oops spin the tire, let's see if I can do with
my hands, and it works just fine so... I thought it would be easier instead it
turned out to be an absolute nightmare just because of de two-part system from
BMW but anyway let's move on, so back to the scrambler now in theory because I
thought the the previous lever was easy in theory this one it's easy as well I
should only need a 10 millimeter wrench but apparently you never know, so let's
get on it let's change this lever and we're done with the Scrambler, okay I'll
start from the bottom and undo this, it's done now we get a push up the rod, nope, it
comes right out let's put it aside
and let's pull that out, what I did is, as you guys have seen, I just move it
forward so that it gets all the way to here and then I'll just slide it up,
levers out, what I'm gonna do is put the little cylinder over there in there, okay
and then just push this in put this back in place, there you go now all those
little nuts um I'm tighting over here, they're all self locking so they do not
need to be tied to death just a little bit, that's it, we're done,
since I already know that this is gonna be just as a pain in the butt as the
other one on the other side was I already removed the the barkbusters handguards
to give me some more room to play around with, other than that if I'm lucky the
only tools I'm gonna need on this one is gonna be an 8 millimeter and a 20.... a
t25 torx, so finger cross let's get on it, 8 millimeter on the bottom and t25 up
top
here we go, here we go, let's undo this
let's push some of the slack, this should be enough, pull it out here and down
easier than I thought and then pull the lever out, so what I did is I grabbed a
file and a filed off just a little bit over here and over here, literally less
than a millimeter so and now it fits in, let's put the nut back on the bottom
side, way easier than I thought it would be, let's repeat the maneuver, up and in
and across here we go, Wow,
and then let's get some of the slack off,
remember you don't want to get this super tight like this, you want to
actually have just a little bit of slack, the little bit of slack guarantees that
the clutch is fully engaged when you release it, this thing back in place and
then we put the little strap back on, here we go and now I can adjust it to be
as far as I like, so the levers are in place it took no time whatsoever to do
the scrambler it took an eternity to do the front brake on the F 800 GS but it
took no time to do the clutch on the GS so I have mixed feeling about it the
level, the levels look absolutely great I even got the same color for both bikes
and I'm pretty happy about it, they can be adjusted lengthwise, they can be
adjusted rich wise and they fold up in case of fall which is almost priceless
but let's see how they're going to hold throughout the time, obviously for
anything I use in this video check down below for links and other than that if

and more f800 GS stay tuned till then ride on and I'll see you next time.
