Adjust Brake Lever Slack?
 

This may be a really stupid question but I can't find it in the manual...My brake lever has a little too much slack for my liking and I would like to tighten it up a bit. How is this done? Thanks.

Their is a round knob (think a boot a quarter :icon_teeth:) on the brake lever near where it attaches. Move it to adjust :icon_wink:

The F4i brakes have PLENTY of room for improvement.....

My round knob always seems to adjust itself when riding...it wouldn't stay where i put it.

Here's how to get MUCH better lever response:
1. Fresh fluid/flush will frim up the brake lever a bit. -cheapest way but don't expect massive improvements.
2. Gets some Shorty Pazzo knock-off levers from ebay for $40, much better/adjustable than stock.
3. Get some Stainless Steel Braided Brake lines (Ebay cost me $44) Excellent brake feel and super touchy lever response.
Your setup will look like this, with the double banjo bolt coming from the master cylinder:

or option C

abandon this set up all together and go to radial front master with external res.

;)

I just changed my brake fluid, I have stainless steel lines but the lever still moves quite a bit before it starts to grab. I would like to purchase some pazzo levers but is there anyway to make the brakes bite quicker? Or is this just the way the F4i is?
PS: I've tried adjusting how close the brakes are to the handlebars but it doesn't seem to make a difference on responsiveness.

I'm pretty sure thats just the way it is...

F4i masters cylinders are not the best by a long shot compared to newer bikes and designs, but are still pretty capable of stopping the f4i on a dime. I guess if you really want a touchier MC, swap it out with one from a newer bike like ZMDS18 said.

My buddy has a race only 2008 R6 (ss lines, pazzos, pads) and his brakes start to grab before the tailight switch even "clicks". Almost too touchy IMO...

Ive thought of doing this, how hard is the swap what are the needed parts?
