Screw + lever part # 4 on page 62, US 696 parts catalogue (2009) waytogo

So, I assume that's a yes for your bike as well.

If they are small pivot goldline masters, this is what you are looking for to adjust (clutch side looks a bit different due to switch):

I've heard people struggling with the set screw - it's often tight and/or loctite'd.
You might need to heat it - IIRC.

what the hell are you taking 2 weeks off for Wink

thanks, Ryan.

now looking at the pics, wish i was able to accomplish more of the changes I wanted. Sometimes I think it isn't changed enough to be considered custom

phew spent some hours on the bike today.
wrote a small report in the riding tech. threads.

I think I need to change some things and add others.
The zero rise bars are great... but a lot of work. It makes a great weekend bike but not such a great commuter. Gonna have to decide what I want from this bike, cause in this config, it definitely is not an all around bike.

IF I keep the zero rise, I need a damper. It turns SO easily. I don't want to change my suspension and lighten the front, but the steering angle is steep and I want to be careful of headshake.

IF I come up a couple of inches, I can forget modding further toward the 848 cause I doubt I'll have room for a rise. But it will make the bike easier for commuting.

The exhaust need to be fixed soon. The stock just aren't cutting it.

I finally fixed the lights, now have low and high beam instead of just high and high+low.
Painted a few more bits and pieces as well. I didn't like the look of the silver front sprocket cover, so that's black now. and a few brackets that I had made are black after being raw until I had some black paint.

PC V is next. Suppose I'll need the autotune unless I can source a shop with a Dyno and willing to let me use it for free Wink
