AS3 Performance rear brake pedals and gear levers are crafted from cold - forged aluminium. This material not only cuts down on overall weight but also significantly boosts the strength of the levers. The forging process gives these levers a bit of flexibility compared to cast or CNC machined ones, greatly reducing the risk of breakage upon impact. The gear lever has CNC machined spring - loaded tips with knurled grooves for a better grip, while the brake pedal features 9 stainless steel teeth at the tip. These pedals and levers fit multiple Kawasaki models, including the 2016 - 2025 KX 450 F, 2022 - 2023 and 2025 KX 450 SR, 2024 KX 450 50th Anniversary Edition, and 2022 - 2025 KX 450 X. Key features include lightweight aluminium construction, cold - forging for strength, spring - loaded tips to prevent damage, replaceable stainless steel teeth on the brake pedal, knurled grooves for grip, a brake snake cable to avoid bending or snapping, black anodization with coloured tips and AS3 branding. Different tip colours and oversized tips are also available, and both levers come with a 12 - month warranty. The parts in the picture are exactly what you'll get.
Using your AS3 Performance gear lever and rear brake pedal is straightforward. For the gear lever, just use your foot to shift gears as you normally would. The knurled grooves on the tip provide a great grip, so you can easily control the shifting. When it comes to the brake pedal, press it down with your foot to apply the brakes. The 9 stainless steel teeth on the tip help with the braking action. As for maintenance, keep these parts clean by wiping them down regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the anodized finish. If you notice any damage to the spring - loaded tips or the stainless steel teeth on the brake pedal, they can be replaced. Also, check the brake snake cable periodically to make sure it's in good condition and preventing the brake pedal from bending or snapping. Remember, these levers come with a 12 - month warranty, so if you have any issues within that time, reach out to the manufacturer.
