Default Increasing Front Brake Response

hey guys my front brake can be pulled way to far in, almost to the grip and im tryin to make it more sensitive so i can actually do some stoppies. I looked in the service manual but couldn't find anything. There is no air bubbles in the brake lines i already tried bleeding them out. Is there anyway to adjust this? thx

there is a little black adjuster **** on the brake lever, use that to find the lever position you want

as for improving the brakes SS braided lines and good pads are your best bet

that will improve feel and performance of your brakes

but even with stock lines, the lever shouldn't be touching the bar mang!

It sounds to me like your MC needs to be checked, the master is usually the culprit (90% of the time) when it comes to that issue in particular. I agree w/ tahoe, I have stock lines for now (planning on getting SS lines+ good fluid to help with the brake fade a little) and it shouldn't occur my $0.02

I also agree with -tahoe-.
woodyracing---- was right about the lever being adjustable. Little screw on the handle bar+lever. Good luck
Whats up with the fuilds are they there and are you leaking?
