blackhat250 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 ok cheers not a bad idea Aye dan --- has the bike been dropped at one time ??

wild foamy Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barwell1992 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 haha i think 6ft2 is tall enough without platforms and ye the xt seems ok so might have a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 ok cheers not a bad idea 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.

barwell1992 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
