Polaris brake lever

[Turtle]

OMG - I don't know why I didn't do this mod sooner!!!

I've heard that the Polaris brake lever found on the Axys chassis can be used on our Vipers. I think it was around 2015 when Polaris began to use the same Hayes master cylinder that is used on Arctic Cat models, which is also the same as our Viper and Sidewinder models. But the profile of the brake lever is different. After doing a little more research I nailed down the part number and took a chance at it.

This is literally a 2 minute bolt on! You take one bolt out, remove the lever, and install the new one. The Polaris part number is 2205334. I got mine on ebay for about $40. New they are priced closer to $80. The profile and reach to the lever in my opinion is waaay better than the stock one. It reminds me very much of the levers that I'm used to on past 'true' Yamaha sleds.

Just when my wife thought I was done "upgrading" parts on a brand new sled. I wouldn't have noticed the brake lever being full length until my first real ride on it, that Polaris lever is more like the old "2 finger" lever that came on my SX-R, Love it!

After installing the Polaris lever, did the parking lever engage? Mine doesn’t engage after I bleed the brakes. Not sure what to do. Was thinking the stopper that limits the travel outward should have some glue on it. This would make the lever closer to the bar under pressure to get more clearance for the parking brake. Thoughts on how to fix this?

I had to file the parking brake a bit to get it to engage.

This is what I run and love it. Little warm on bare fingers when moving around or loading in trailer but worth it.
