You can loosen the bolt on the clutch lever and the two hex screws on the brake lever and slide them inwards, outwards, up and down until you find the perfect fit.

Remember, the back of your hands should be level to the ground and you should be able to rest your index finger comfortably on the brake lever (with closed throttle).

I have adjusted mine (recently) and it made a big difference in minute control over the brake and clutch. Riding is much improved.

K so I think i was completely wrong about my levers being low (i guess i didnt really think about it too much when i wrote that),
they might be high? did you lower yours? i feel like if i lower them I can get a better grip on the throttle and more room to roll on with.

So did you lower yours and was i probably wrong about them being a bit low?
