This may have already been addressed in a different thread. Does anyone know the factory settings for the clutch and brake lever adjustment dials? Thanks

Retro, I don't remember what mine were set at when I took delivery of the bike, but I would say to just set them to what works for your personal preference and hand size.

How is the adjustment made? Pull the lever in and move the adjustment dial somehow?

Push lever out about 1/4 inch and rotate dial. Look for little arrow head and put it next to number on dial.

Interesting Ferret, my brake is 2 and my clutch is 4

The service manual says to set both to 2. I would imagine that is the factory setting.
