Just seems like your levers are down too far

 

Happy birthday!

 

I have my lever at roughly 35 degrees down so its easier to operate when standing

 

Comfortable

Doesn't seem that far down to me

 

The outside looks a good inch lower than mine.

 

I like mine nearly straight out. Angled down just a bit for riding standing

 

Weird

Was almost tempted to try and trade the drz for klx450r today

 

The way yours are, you probably ride like a moto gp wannabe, with your elbows up in the air and your head down

 

I am motogp!

 

I cringed a few times today over some bumps. This was a heavy load on my rack. All good at the end of the day but dang is it uncomfortable with them back there...

 

Thats a lot of tongue weight....

 

Found this funny, if its real

 

Rear get squirrelly? I'll be testing mine Thursday! Excited to get through my short work week.

 

Nah the front gets wander ish though but that's because it squats the truck and changes my alignment a bit I'm sure. Woo have fun with it!

 

Forgot about that front end feeling, definitely sketchy.

But at least it works!

 

Actually having them pointed downwards help with grip at full throttle. Less wrist movement cause your knuckles and fingers are
already pointed downwards and have less movement to get back up to horizontal levers. Look at the best BMX, Mtn Bikers and Motocross
riders and you will see more pointed down than horizontal.

 

Bam!!! Ha. Actually I've never thought about it.

 

Back in my profession mtn biking days amateurs would always ask me why my levers
were pointed down and I would explain it to them and they would be like shit that makes
sense. Really helps when you have arm pump too.

 

After 9 years and 18k miles the track bike finally let me down. Not bad. I still got 5 sessions in and picked up a lot of my old speed

 

The motor go out?
