Fulcrum screw (99-0252)
Fulcrum screw for handlebar control levers, the pivot pin a clutch or brake lever rotates on at the perch.
This is the fulcrum screw that lever assemblies pivot on at the handlebar controls — the pin the clutch or brake lever rotates around where it mounts to the perch. It shows up in the catalog under the number 18/087, which is the current listing for the older 99-0252 part, so if your parts book or a lever assembly is stamped with the old number, this is the same physical piece.

It appears across handlebar and control lever listings and also turns up in the battery/toolkit/air filter figure, which is a reminder that this same small screw gets used in more than one spot on the bike, not just at the lever perches. If you're replacing a worn or buggered-up pivot on a clutch or brake lever, this is the part to check against what's currently in there.
It's a simple item but easy to overlook when a lever has slop in it — a worn fulcrum screw or an enlarged hole in the lever boss is usually the culprit. Bring in the old one or check your parts book reference if you're not sure which lever this fits, since the same style of screw covers a few different control applications.
