There are things you can do and things you can’t. Please note.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By changing where you grip the lever, you can explore what works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Poor leverage, short stroke, heavy feel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the clutch is light and you don’t fully disengage it very often, it might be okay, but…
The operation might still feel heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, you can just move your hand outward on the handlebar.

When the handlebar grip position and lever position align, the fit really improves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good leverage, long stroke, light feel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is an extreme example, but the operation becomes very light.

Since this one has been swapped to a Gale Speed clutch holder as shown in the image, if it doesn’t have easy lever position adjustment, it might be difficult to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighter operation makes things easier and lets you focus on riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also check whether the lever contacts switches or anything else.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can’t squeeze the brake all the way! That’s dangerous, so…
A 10 mm adjustment is rare, so it might not be very practical.

But if you can move it even 3 mm or 5 mm and think, “Oh, maybe about 4% easier to ride?” that’s a good direction. With just a small tweak, your bike becomes more truly yours (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
