I just grabbed a few sockets and walked outside to take a whack at the shifter and brake levers....could they be more screwy to adjust? The shifter nut is so buried in there, between the chain and the bash plate, I'd have to do a bunch of disassembly I think to get at it. Wanted to raise it up quite a lot as it's so close in that when I stand up my big feet tend to whack it. Brake lever is a bit of a mystery, wanted to drop it an inch or so so that when I stand I don't mash down on it either. Looks like I have to muck with the whole piston linkage adjustment to move that one too. Any hints/tips on this?
If you have the big foot problem, there are some fixes. Call George (Uptite Husqvarna) and he'll explain the two fixes. One involves some parts and the other involves modifying the footpegs so they set lower and more to the rear (about 1/2 in both ways. 1 714 540-2920.
Was out riding in my MX boots today and the brake lever being level with the peg is a big problem. I eyeballed the cam to adjust it and from what I can tell there is only a minute amount of adjustment that I can make before I run out of adjustment on the linkage to make up for it. Certainly seems I can't drop it the 1" that I wanted to. I'll have to give him a call I guess, thanks. The shifter is less of an issue comparatively but between the lack of feel in MX boots and how easy it is to hit the brake lever, it makes for some interesting stopping heh. I also wonder, I'm planning on raising my seat at least 2", once I have a bit less of an extreme bend in my legs if it may be easier for me to work the controls. I may wait until I raise the seat. Got some Pro-Taper ATV Hi bars in the mail now too. Gonna get this all nice and sized for me eventually.
I adjusted my rear brake a good deal below level with the peg. The adjustment on the actuator rod for freeplay is about bottomed out but it's worked for me no problem.
