Mine kind of hitting the throttle if its tune to 6. No 4 is the maximum i can set confidently.
My lever had been bent b4 during a slow speed fall and had been straighten back. And i am wondering if my lever are out of spec due to the repair.
Setting at 5 leave barely <5mm of gap when fully depress. Currently i set it at 3 and it has a 50mm gap between lever and throttle when not pull, brake feathering start around 40-35mm and can fully depress till 10mm space is left. But setting at 6, i can easily pull the lever till kissing the throttle. Brake are still working, but i never tried it for emergency brake.
I'm curious as to why you want to use the higher settings. Mine is on 4 as it came when I got the bike. It works for me and I've always wondered why this setting is adjustable. Bigger/smaller hands, weaker fingers?
I have had some pretty hard stops and never had the lever anywhere near the throttle. I am guilty of using two fingers on the brake lever and two on the throttle, so I would get pinched if the lever was too close to the throttle grip.
