Adjust angle of brake lever?

[k2pichu]

Does anyone know how to adjust the angle of the brake lever, I'd like to rotate it forward (down) to better be in line with my arm, but the part holding it to the handle bar seems to have a pin that doesnt allow me to adjust that.

Loosen the JIS screws of the throttle by wire unit a bit and rotate it together with the brake cylinder.

On the Vit, Loosen the handlebar mount bolt by the headlight. Here’s where it gets fun because the handlebar is pretty much stuck into the triple-clamp. I was able to grab onto the mirror stalk and rotate the handlebar. But you might need to remove a bar end and thread in some kind of slide hammer to release the bar from the triple clamp first

Nooo! Just rotate the throttle unit.

Exactly. No turning the whole handlebar. Loosen these 2 8mm screws and turn it.
Edit: Also loosen the 4 philips screws (i think they’re called) on the backside of the ‘throttle housing’. That with the kill switch. Then turn and tighten everything back.

There’s a notch that keeps the tbw in place, you need to rotate that too

But that rearview mirror & brake lever are pinned to the handlebar. The handlebar must rotate with the lever/mirror.

No they’re not (at least on mine). Sorry to disagree, but I pulled it apart. The tbw is “pinned” or actually slotted to the brake clamp.

Ima try again. So first you loosen 2 pieces 8mm bolts. I’ve changed mine but here’s the location (picture 1).
Then you loosen 4 pieces screws on that Throttle By Wire Housing (picture 2) and everything can be turned.
Then hold it in place and tighten all 6 screws again.

That’s what I did yes

Thank you! I knew there had to be an easy way.

Surely you could just move the brake mount inwards by enough to clear the small interlock block that sticks out of the throttle housing? Maybe 5mm max...?

I have bar risers and think they may have come with a new piece from Brembo that replaces the rear part of the clamp though...can’t quite remember. Looking at other photos that may well be the case. Looks like the one higher up the thread has an extension rightwards that locks onto that chuck on the throttle assembly.
