OK, I decided to try these, they came today..... Seems I ordered or they got mixed up.... I have 2 pairs.
So if anyone is interested in a set of short red on red, let me know. I'll have a extra set till then.
Have not inspected or installed yet. That is a project for next week, trying to get my trailer wiring figured out right now.

I have just ordered a pair of these Short Brake Clutch Levers Kawasaki NINJA 300R 2013 NINJA 250R 2008-2012 Black | eBay
Hopefully they fit without any issues, after installing the handguards the stock levers are far too long.
If not it's only a £20 loss.
What is everyone's opinion on these levers?
Are they strong well built things, or is it one of those 'you get what you pay for' type scenarios?

So my levers finally came today.
The build quality seem to be far better than what I expected.
Is there anything I need to know to make the installation easier or is it just a straight bolt on?

Make sure to take a picture of the final result and tell us about the fitment Pinhead.
Im looking for new levers myself. I am using stock one and especially the clutch starts to vibrate at high RPM, its driving me insane, so its time to get some new levers. Id like some adjustable ones.

A few weeks ago i installed a set of Zeta XC hand guards.
After installing the hand guards, cables started to rub and wear against the bracket of the handguards, even after trying to reposition all the levers and controls the best i could.
The OEM levers were also far too long to fit behind the guards to prevent them from breaking/snapping in a drop.
After reading that ninja 250 levers are compatable with our KLX's
I decided to take a gamble and order some of these levers.
Short Brake Clutch Levers Kawasaki NINJA 300R 2013 NINJA 250R 2008-2012 Black | eBay
These swapped over with the OEM levers almost effortlessly.
There is now plenty of space between the each lever and the handguard also resolving the issue i had with the rubbing of cables.
Although i did have one concern.
My clutch cable seems seriously tight from the lever, around the frame, all the way to the clutch, is this normal?.
How have you guys got your clutch cable positioned?
Thanks

Can anyone confirm if the 2010 clutch cable (540110093 CABLE-CLUTCH) can replace my 2012 cable?.
After installing the levers and handguards the cable has become frayed looking very close to the snapping point.
Thanks guys
