Update on my new cheap Chinese levers

This is exactly right. Several riders on my GSX-R forum have had this experience. There are detailed threads explaining why this happens, but as you rightly stated, it is because of the design of the levers, and leads to a completely lockup of the front brakes. Use OEM or high-quality parts.

I had CRG and Pazzo levers on one of my bikes, never had any issues with them, but after switching back to the OEM levers after a few thousand miles, noticed how much more comfortable and effective the OEM parts were. The lever ratios were better and the radius on the lever itself was more comfortable on the hands. I'll not use aftermarket again.
