Default Hand Control Lever adjustment
On each of the hand control housings, there are 3 torx bit screws. The two most obvious appear to be the ones to loosen to change the position of the brake or clutch lever. Does the 3rd one need to be loosened also?

Can someone verify this? How loose do they need to be to effect the adjustment?

Thanks in advance.

There is 2 on the perch and 2 on the housing (1 on the bottom). You will most likely have to loosen all 4 to adjust them. They won't have to be very loose.

If you have internal wiring, make sure you don't pinch anything or overstretch when you reposition and tighten.
