Youve been riding scooters for tooo long You will get used to it but it may feel very odd at first because your feet are lower...stick with it and take it easy.

I would give it a while and if you cant get used to it or feel its a safety issue then have a word with an engineering fabrication company about bending /cutting/welding it into a more acceptable position.

Aye dan --- has the bike been dropped at one time ?? If so this might have bent the lever in +lower than the norm .A trip to the bike shop and measure up same model

hi

no it hasent and i have had a look at a cople in the shops and they are all the same but we all a gree (mum dad and me) that they are quite far in compaird to the norm so may ask yamaha to have a look for us at some point

just a thought, but maybe the brake lever from an XT or similar bike would fit?, jsut make sure they have the same diameter shaft and number of splines

do wat OG does, he wears PLATFORM SHOES

haha i think 6ft2 is tall enough without platforms

and ye the xt seems ok so might have a look

Hi Dan

Perhaps its just out of adjustment ? I would guess Yamaha ergonomics are correct (along with other larger manufacturers ) so if the if there is no visible to the lever and the lever appears to be in the correct position this may indicate some form of adjustment is needed... but I guess you have tried that.

Regards Jim

ye i have had a look but the only way its ajustable is up and down and thats not the problem the problem is it need bringing out but the only way i could do this would be a full on mod or to bend the break out a bit but not wanting to do that but as i sead may get them to have a look when its serviced
