Brake Lever Adjustment

Mach1 · Mar 4, 2019

I find that the brake lever on my T120 seems to be a bit of a stretch which is odd because I have fairly big hands (generally XXL glove size) so either I'm doing something wrong or I'm missing an adjustment somewhere.

I've fitted the OEM adjustable levers but it still feels way too far out on the closest setting. I'm not sure if it's the distance to the lever or the angle.

Is it possible to bring the lever any closer? Or, if I could rotate the control unit to bring the lever up that might help. I've tried undoing a few bolts but it doesn't seem to shift.

Any help greatly appreciated....

Not wishing to be rude Mach but are you adjusting them properly ? i.e. pushing the lever away from the bar before you rotate the adjuster. Something doesn't sound right if you have shovel like hands, like me.

Hi Mach. Sounds odd and agree with Johnjo. My hands are so small I can decorate my hall through the letterbox but I have been able adjust both clutch and brake to suit. All the best.

Thanks for the replies. @Johnjo, that’s a fair question so no offence taken but I have checked that.

I was hoping for a quick fix but it might be just me so I’ll ask the dealer when it goes in for it’s first service in a few weeks.
