1997 Kawasaki 1500 controls

#1 Unread post by Mr. D »

Greetings: Have a question, I have a 1997 Kawasaki 1500 classic. On the break and clutch controls, there are a set of small adjusters with #'s 1 to 4. Can anyone tell me what these are for?
Thanks!!

It's for setting how far out you want the bite points to be

I think my bike has the same adjusters. Kawasaki has included these on some bikes that have both hydraulic brakes and clutches. Setting #1 is for larger hands, or those who like the lever further away from the grip when at rest. #4 is for short fingers.
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?
