Hey Guys,
So since i have both an R6 and FZ6R, i have recently noticed some big differences between them. The biggest (other then obviously), is the brakes and brake sensitivity. I have tried all the different settings and cant figured out what the numbers are doing. im a little concerned because my fiance now rides this bike and to be honest, im scetched out about the poor braking or hesitation im getting...
So, when you all pull your front brake... how far does the level go before it activates the brakes? I have too pull mine all the way in, and the lever is actually hitting my other 3 fingers (if 2 finger braking):rant:. At this point, the brakes still dont feel fully engaged, but obviously i cant pull anymore!:surrender:
i have tried to lock them up just to see if they fully engaged while doing like 5mph (nedo), but its impossible... this seems odd to me
So what would cause this? Is there any adjustment? Could the brake cables have been stretched out or something and now there is too much flex?
What do the setting do, and which is the hardest? 1 or 5? I have tried both thinking on should make it so you dont have to pull the lever as much and they are more touchy, but still, i find myself pinching my fingers!!
let me know please!
