Clutch lever reach adjust
« on: 21 June 2015, 05:07:13 pm »
Is this possible? I have a feeling the reach is too long as I seem to be getting some pain in my left wrist. Could be copy paste syndrome from work but my ergo keyboard cleared that up earlier this year.

If it isn't possible do I need short levers? Found the titax ones but not willing to pay over £100, found since on Aussie eBay for about £40 delivered that would probably sort it?

An adjustable lever may help if it's the reach that's troubling you, bear in mind that a shorter lever will need a harder squeeze.
Have you experimented with the angle at which the lever is mounted? Rotating it slightly on the handlebar to a different position may be all that's needed.

I had this as well with both my FZS600 and FZS1000. I sorted it in the end by buying cheap chinese adjustable levers (I bought the long ones, not the short). This allows it to be adjusted so the lever is closer to the bars, plus I like the look of them. They were about £20 I think on eBay.

If you want to keep the OEM look, you can keep the standard levers, but fit an adjustable clutch perch (I think its the perch from a kawasaki ninja that fits - im sure someone can confirm though.)
