Update on my new cheap Chinese levers

[uscgmac_imp]

I don't want to start a panic so I'll start off by saying that my levers were fine and worked as expected with no problems. I was doing some more research on the levers and was watching a ton of video's and started comming across several ones with people having their front brakes locking up and some crashing due to this. Some riders from different bikes on different forums and YouTube videos were complaining about the brake lever ever so slightly depressing the brake plunger and causing the brake to be slightly engaged which caused a build up in pressure then locking the front brake unexpectedly resulting in a crash. If the machining is ever so slightly off even by a couple of mm this could happen or if the spring fails. Being that our brake plunger does not use a pin with an indent in the handle like on the clutch side it may not be as much of an issue but after hearing about this potential problem I decided to put the stock levers back on for now. I know some have been using the Chinese levers for some time now and wanted to get some more advice and opinions before I use them again. The end result could be hundreds of dollars if not thousands in damages and even death if this happens. I don't know if I'm now willing to risk the cheap levers after aquiring this new knowledge.

Let me also add that the riders with the problems stated that they installed the levers correctly and that the brake light was not engaged giving no warning that the brake was ever so slightly engaged. They experienced what they initially thought was a loss of power due to the bike being restricted with the unexpected building up of front brake pressure as the rotors and fluid got hotter and hotter. Some had suggester that they either were sent the wrong levers by the company and installed them or incorrectly installed them. The riders stated the install was correct and the levers did not appear to be deceftive to the naked eye. Also this happend mainly on sport bikes.
