Not

Never had a problem with cable stretch and if you set the remote up carefully you shouldn't ever have a problem.

Even if you do it's an easy job to take the cable out and move the end clasp a little.

I installed it on mine but not had to use it, can't say it was much extra hassle though

I installed mine...why wouldn't you want to? In fairness, I've not needed to use it...but at least it's there if required.

I did and I've used it, possible due to mechanical incompetence with the intial isntall, but this is the equivalent to bleeding a reverb when it stops working. The LEV is ace in that respect, the only issues I've had with it were fixed by a twiddle one way or the other with the adjuster.

Fitted mine on both bikes and used it very very occasionally.

I did on mine. Just allows me to take up the slack so you get an instant response on the lever.

I also put a flexible section coming out of the lever to stop the housing bulging out to the front of the bike.
