Front brake lever adjuster

[suffolk58 2,286]

I've never used the six way adjuster on my 750X in the (almost) two years I've had it.

It's always been on number 1. This has been fine for me, as I have fairly big hands.

However, my new winter gloves are a bit bulky, so I thought I'd adjust the lever in a bit.

After half an hour of struggle, I've managed to move it on to number 2. (And my thumb aches).

Do you think it's corrosion at work, or have I missed a technique here?

(Or maybe it's because I'm a 14 stone weakling).

Martin get the WD40 out--the standard material is vulnerable to seizing up---a lot of members have fitted aftermarket ones--which not only don't corrode but adjust better

To adjust, you push the lever forward (opposite way to breaking) a bit and that allows the adjustment dial to move easily.

+1For this trying to adjust it without doing this will be extremely difficult if not impossible without damaging it

20 pound lump hammer --with long handle--swing it over your shoulder ready to strike the offending--none co operating lever--and just threaten it-- it will adjust much easier now
