Hi guys


I am now the proud owner of a lovely red sv650 but have a little issue...

Does anyone know how to fix a clutch lever that is a tad too far from the had grip? Being a girl, i have small hands - i can just reach the lever but would prefer it moving closer.

I have had a few suggestions:

1. Change it to a 'dog lever' style - what make and where do i get one?
2. Heat up the metal and gradually bend it.
3. Get my fingers extended.


Help

you can fit an adjustable(for span) lever from a kwack(gpz 500 i think),.if ure gonna bend the original ,dunk it in boiling water(take it off first obviously #-o honest ,use hot water as its more gradual than a naked flame,liqid levers,,,not a good idea,anyway ,once its bendable wrap it in a towel and apply pressure gently cos it will snap if you horse it.bend it ,heat it,bend it heat it ,and so on oh and btw have a spare just in case it goes tits up :wink:
