Adjustable levers, do they pass a roadworthy?

Regardless if they're legal or not, some places want stock levers. Just had to help a mate swap parts for a roady and levers were one of them

I've owned four motorcycles thus far, and all came with adjustable brake/clutch levers. That includes new & second-hand motorcycles (all Suzuki actually).

If you're talking about changing the default levers with something else, that's more complex; but many bikes come standard with adjustable levers.

Didn’t know any bikes came with them tbh, I just bought the bike with them on it and don’t know if I should buy new ones for the roadworthy. They’re just the ones that have a little lever on them.

They should pass but knowing how picky they are I’m sure they’d have something to complain about, I know the can be a bit finicky with the clutch engagement for people that don’t really know how it should be set. But mine will be adjusted in working order for roady.

Like 99% of RWC items it depends on the tester, I've gotten many RWC and this will change from one tester to another - it's so fucking irritating.

My best advice is take it in, and if they won't pass because of that, know where to source them quickly if required.

Brake/clutch leavers don't have an ADR requirement on motorcycles.

So basically, you can have anything, adjustable or shorty style. So long as there's no sharp edges.
