Kaluza–Klein (KK) parity can be violated in a five-dimensional universal extra-dimensional model with boundary-localised (kinetic or mass) terms (BLTs) at the fixed points of 
orbifold. In this framework we study the resonant production of Kaluza–Klein excitations of the neutral electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC and their decay into an electron–positron pair or a muon–antimuon pair. We use the results (for the first time, to our knowledge) given by the LHC experiment to constrain the mass range of the first KK-excitation of the electroweak gauge bosons (
). It is interesting to note that the LHC result puts an upper limit on the masses of the 
KK-leptons for positive values of the BLT parameters depending upon the mass of the 
resonance.
