legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in
relation to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts are insufficiently tightened.
D. Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their position on the handlebars can be changed. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments
for you. If you choose to make your own control lever angle adjustment, be sure to re-tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended torque
(Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
E. Brake reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted for reach. If you have small hands or find it difficult to squeeze the brake levers, your dealer
can either adjust the reach or fit shorter reach brake levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is to have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power
can be applied within available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insufficient to apply full braking power can result in loss of
control, which may result in serious injury or death.
