@H39 If I was you I would move that get back whip off your brake lever and put it over on your clutch side..........just saying.

Nothing good is ever going to happen with it on your brake lever, you have to keep your hand on the throttle and if it gets caught and pulls your brake lever, you will find out why it is a bad idea.

Congratulations on your new bike, make sure you stay safe and have many years of riding.
