Recall: CRG and possibly Pazzo Brake Levers
Since the Pazzo levers are nearly identical to the CRG, this may have an impact on those levers as well.RB-511 and RB-512 Safety Report
May 17, 2006
To all CRG RB-511 and RB-512 Lever Owners, Dealers and Distributors:
Please note that we have observed a condition with CRG Roll-A-Click Levers RB-511 and RB-512, which relates to potential safety issues. Model RB-511 is designed for use on 2004 thru 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycles, and 2005 thru 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycles. Model RB-512 is designed for use on 2003 thru 2006 Ducati 749 and 999 motorcycles, and on 2004 thru 2006 Aprilla Mille R motorcycles.
Why the recall?
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
Constructors Racing Group, LLC (CRG) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model RB-511 and model RB-512 Roll-A-Click adjustable motorcycle front brake levers. These brake levers have a metal
rocker that is attached to the end of the lever. The rocker, in turn, has a pivot bore, which interfaces with the motorcycle’s master cylinder. If the pivot bore is significantly misaligned, the brake lever could potentially become seized in the brake engaged position, thereby preventing the front brakes from disengaging and potentially resulting in a vehicle crash.

thats definitly not good.
i can't find if the part# RB-512 applies to me? i have the CRG roll-a-click folding levers on 03 R6. I can only see RB-512 on CRG's website.

^^^ Doesn't apply to you. This is only for radial mounted brake systems. The 99-04 R6's do not have these. So you are fine.
I heard something about this a few months back, someone was sue'n them over it. IIRC a pazzo rep said thiers didnt have the same design flaw and explained why, there were pics and explantions. I wish I could remember what site.

I was mistaken that thread was regarding 01ish R1s and was on r1-forum.com. It was also a Pazzo Racing lever that caused the issue. They investigated, fixed it and replaced customer levers but it wasnt very wide spread.
