is there anyway you can adjust this like the clutch??? I'd like to be able to pull it in a little bit more before it grabs. Now I just touch it and its grabs to much for me

you have an 89.  You need a 90+ brake lever that is adjustable

Be careful not to brake it...   :P

And, whatever you do, don't bleed it...it might relax on its own...over time.

wth? maybe they stopped putting adjustable handles.. yeah it does make a difference.  89's brake handles are non-adjustable.  90+ had little wheels where you can make it closer to the grip

He means to change the point of actual engagement of the brakes, closer to the bar.

ahhhh.... ok...   :dunno:  there's no way to 'safely' do it.  you could technically blow air bubbles into your brake resevoir... but that's a bad idea... safety-wise..

Don't say that! Don't give him the idea! Quick, edit your post before he sees that!
