I am a new rider and I feel like I am doing pretty good except that I accidently give the bike gas when i am braking sometimes. Everyone who has looked at my bike says that the brake lever is too far a reach for my hands. The yamaha dealer in town says that they do not know of any way to adjust this other than having someone heat the aluminum brake lever and slightly adjust the shape. This will however weaken the metal possibly causing it to snap. This really unnerves me when it happens but I do not know how to fix it. Does any one know of any brake levers that will fit a Yamaha 250 Virago that has a steeper angle ( making it closer to the throttle)??????
