Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
My rear brake lever is rubbing on the clutch case, to the point where I now have two grooves in the clutch case from the 2 lever screws.
I'm thinking I should order the 2 bearings that connect the lever. Has anyone else had the same and diagnosed it as the bearings?
The lever is not bent. You can pull the lever into position, but it springs back into contact with the clutch case. Seems like too much movement on he mounting shaft to me which would signal bearings.

Re: Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
Are there bearings... ? I didn´t know that. A look at the KTM shop tells me that you are right. Replace them and also replace the screw, is my advice.

Re: Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
I didn't know myself. Went on the parts manual, expecting to see a rubber bush or something.

Re: Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
Just to show you all what I was talking about, see below pics of the rubbing. I've still not ordered the parts as I used a metal spacer and longer bolt as a temporary measure.
It does appear that I only have 1 of the 2 required bearings though. This would probably explain my problem. Damn previous owner [DISAPPOINTED FACE]

Re: Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
If you do the temp spacer route in the meantime, make sure the spacer is small enough that it doesn't contact the lever or your brake pedal won't return after pressing. It must sit on the bearing.Goose wrote:I have the same problem on mine [POUTING FACE]

I'll get around to ordering them soon, need to order some new discs too after a disc lock incident

Re: Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
Where can you buy? I hit a deer with my smr 990, and the bike hit pavement on the right side. The brake lever action is stiff/sticking.

Re: Rear brake lever is contacting clutch case
It was indeed the bearings in the brake pedal. I purchased them from a KTM dealer. They come individually so order 2. Getting them in/out is fun
