If i sit back a bit, my seat is a bit more comfortable. But then it feels like the handgrips could be an inch or so closer. Whats the best way to adjust the handlebars? Is this something I can do on my own?
loosen the clamp above the headlight, then angle the handlebars so they are comfortable, then tighten it back up
then loosen your handgrips and angle them so the clutch and brake do not hurt your wrist when you apply them. and re adjust your mirrors, and you are set!
its dead simple, but look at the types of tools each part requires and get them and you can do it in 10 minutes. i think the handlebar clamps are 1/4 inch allen wrenches, and the hand controls also loosen with allen keys as well.
