Hi All;
I made two changes today and wanted to share them as they made a very nice improvement to my bike.
The first is that I fitter an adjustable brake lever from Pazzo, I went with the full length lever (not the shorty) and it has made braking a much nicer experience. Fits my hand better and I am able to have it closer to the bar so can reach it without having to stretch my hand anymore. It also makes the front brake more sensitive and easier to modulate. And it looks great. Highly recommended.
The second change cost nothing, I simply tightened up the throttle cable to get rid of the excess that was there. Now the throttle is nice and taught, the twist grip does not have extra play and the use is much better. Before when I would get off the throttle too much it would really cause the engine to decelerate hard, now it is much more gradual and controllable.
With just these two changes I am much more comfortable and confidant with Silky.
