It just snapped!! I guess it must have had hairline fractures or something, becuase I didnt do anything particularly rough to it today.

I can still use it, it just looks very dodgy. How much to replace it?? (gpx250)

genuine - $100 plus...non gen -$35..thats if its the hydraulic brake lever, if its cable its cheaper, but im guessing it hydro (only drum brakes r cable i believe)...

I got a clutch lever from my local kwakka dealer for $10. I'd assume the brake levers are the same ..

Yep, aftermarket levers can be bought from as little as $10 if you shop around.
Try Metropolitan wreckers, MAW or MCAs..

the GPx2fiddy brake levers are around $30 genuine
I bought one for my brothers last year (before he blew it up)
for $29..$29.50 something like that

non genuine are $10ish...
and the ball?
to prevent it stabbing you or someone else if the bike tips

hmmm ill say it again...hahah...
clutch lever are simple..abt $15 for a non gen lever....abt $40 or so for OEM...
brake levers, depending on the type....i got a zx6/9 one..u kno how it has 5 levels of adjustment?? not quite as simple..i got a price for the lever when i was there..OEM is abt $120 or sumthin stupid..$35 was for a non gen....i DONT BELIEVE its illegal to ride with broken levers, but it is dangerous if u drop it..however if u RACE/TRACK it, they wont let u ride with broken ones...
im not full of shit here...i just bought a clutch & a brake lever on friday, and asked the questions, from an Ex kwaka dealer...
