Trouble with levers

Hi all new to this site, I'm a female biker just completed my CBT and the proud owner of a 2016 yzf 125 and was wondering if any of you guys could help in sourcing after market levers for my bike.
Having small hands I am really struggling with the clutch lever, by the time I reach the clutch biting point my hand is at full strech and it's making it really difficult to control the bike at slow speeds. So can anyone suggest a short span lever that will fit my bike. All help appreciate. Thanks.

Welcome in.
First thing to do is pics. You must put up pics of your bike.
Secondly, my wife swapped out the standard levers on her R1 for adjustable Pazzo levers and has no problems with them.
Not sure if you can get them for your bike or not though.

Welcome in Becci
Well done passing your CBT & welcome to biking ;)
I'm sure one of the aftermarket companies will make levers for the R125
As for posting pics
"get yourself a free photobucket account & follow the idiots guide to posting pics from your pc
posting.php?mode=reply&f=6&t=10659
if you don't want to open a photobucket account then an alternative is go to
http://tinypic.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

1 - "choose file" and browse to the image you wish to upload from your PC
2 - In the "resize" drop down choose either 15" or 17" screen (15 is enough and fast too)
3 - Press "upload now" where it will ask you to type in a couple of words to confirm you are a human being and not an automated program.
4 - Once done copy the text from the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" field
5 - Then just paste it exactly as is in to your message.

or you can post direct from your not so smart phone using tapawank (tapatalk) it's great for posting pic's & notifications but wank for viewing the forum ;)

Welcome to the forum Becci, congratulations on passing your CBT and good luck with your hunt for levers, have you tried altering the span adjuster to bring the lever closer to the grip, it's the silver disc next to the clutch lever, that may offer a little adjustment in the mean time.

It's a long thread, but this is the one from blackizz that Jompy was talking about
