Having trouble setting up the controls for the new bike you just bought? Or maybe this is your first two-wheeled vehicle? Rest assured, you are not the only one. Other people are in the same situation as you. There are several parameters to consider to successfully tune your motorcycle. Good reason to read this article. There you will find tips to help you customize your controls easily. So your car will be in your image and safety. 

Precautions Before Making Changes

First of all, for your safety, do not adjust the controls on the motorcycle while riding. This could distract you and cause an accident. Stop and turn on your side before making any changes. It would be wise to park further away from traffic for added safety. Also, remember to take all the necessary steps before tuning your motorcycle. Don't disturb other road users, even if your settings only take a few minutes.

Steering wheels

Since you always have to hold on to the handlebars when driving, this will be the first thing you need to adjust. The goal is to allow you to make turns in the best possible conditions. To do this, adjust its height and depth. 

If you are not satisfied with its current position, feel free to raise or lower it. If you notice any looseness during adjustment, call a technician to solve the problem. Make sure you adjust the handlebars correctly before moving on to other parts of the motorcycle.

Clutch and brake levers

In turn, the clutch and brake levers. A good rider should always be in control of his bike. You will need brakes to slow down and avoid obstacles. Therefore, it is important to adjust the levers for greater efficiency. Make sure that the second phalanges of your fingers can easily reach them without turning them, resting your hands on the handles.

The distance between the levers and the steering wheel should allow you to brake in time and easily switch to other gears. You can move the brake lever a few millimeters towards the inside of the handlebars to brake more. To adjust, loosen the lock nut and turn the screw. In this way, you can easily complete the customization. Do not move the levers too far or too close to the handlebars.

Accelerator cable

Remember to adjust the throttle cable as well. You will need to adjust it immediately after adjusting the clutch and brake levers. Basically, you do the same by first loosening the locknut before turning the screw on the end of the throttle cable housing.

You then adjust the cable to your liking, making sure there is not too much idle rotation when the engine is in neutral. Repeat the same gesture several times until the problem with the grip and accelerator cable is resolved. You may also need to check the cable clearance to adjust the throttle clearance.

Mirrors

You should be able to look around without turning every time you want to change lanes or turn. Mirrors play an important role, so they need to be positioned correctly. Both mirrors should allow you to see everything behind you. There may be a blind spot, but the important thing is that you can see most of the road in the mirrors.

Gear selector and brake pedal

We will now see the foot control. Your height and shoe size may be unusual. Then it will be difficult for you to cycle with the current settings without any adjustments. The gear selector and brake pedal must be at the correct height for easy access. If in doubt, adjust their height and angle. After adjusting, they should be on the sole of the shoe when you place your feet on the footrest. This saves you the hassle of looking down every time you want to brake or change gear.

After adjusting the motorcycle

Orders for your motorcycle have been completed. Now you can ride your motorcycle in the right conditions. Don't forget to test it before you hit the road. Walk around your home to see if your back is straight and your shoulders are drooping. Also check to see if your wrists are comfortable holding the steering wheel or if your arms are too outstretched while riding. 

By the way, take a moment when you make these settings to see if you need to change the cable from any other room. Make sure you have all the new parts and don't forget anything. Remember that your safety depends first and foremost on your vigilance, starting with the condition of your vehicle's parts. Also try to stay focused as you hit the road. There is no point in adjusting the controls on a motorcycle if you are not riding carefully.
