Rear brake lever adjustment?

[Bruno]

Hi All,(recently bought a 400 super four,) would any one know if it's possible to adjust the rear brake lever down abit for ease of use as I have l quite long legs and find it difficult, also is it possible to adjust the gear lever abit too for exactly the same reason?.
Thanks....Bruno...

The gear lever does adjust up or down quite easily. Just release the pinch bolt holding the lever onto the shaft coming out of the gearbox. Remove the lever and move it down a few teeth at a time. You will need to adjust the lever arm as well to suit the new setting. Dont think the brake lever moves though.

hey bruno, as above really. dunno if its still like it but watch that back brake its harsh as hell!

good luck with her hope the guy that had her after me hasnt abused her too much :D

next time your in okey i got a pair of coils spare you can have m8.. they work fine just when i had the problems i threw some new ones on in desperation ( before it all turned out to be carbs lol)

Hi Frank, thanks for your reply, that's what I was thinking, I've moved it just a couple of splines and it's alot better posistion for me now, I've also ajusted the rear brake lever down slightly too.
Thanks again..Bruno..
