You do realise the throttle cables will move don't you?

You carry on smart arse.

The throttle cables move you know!?.


This is a wind up isn't it?......I really don't see how you are making it look like a Haynes five spanner job.

Not following your "instructions" they won't

OP slacken the switchgear bolts, slacken the lever perch bolts and see how much movement you can get without straining the res hose. You might find the switchgear won't move because it's pinned

I didn't want to state the obvious.

Probably safest too

It's a GSXR, so no.

I'd surprised if the switchgear on the throttle side isn't pinned to the clip-on simply because it's a GSXR. Every bike I've ever owned has been pinned to stop it rotating as you open the throttle.

The switchgear YES, the lever NO

Edit: we were talking about moving the LEVER not the switchgear...the switchgear is pegged on all/most bikes.

The switchgear shouldn't need to be moved.

Toxic have you tried loosing the bolts i said to loosen? the throttle cables will move out of the way if needed ...move the lever to the desired position then retighten

[y2blade]

When it goes in for recall work mention it to them the lever is too high and ask them if they can adjust it further for you.

Id say you look pretty much maxed out mate. Even if you move the throttle cable as you say the pipe will limit the movement. If its the same type of pipe that's on mine it wont move much anyway + you don't really want to be putting that under any stress.

Get the recall done see if anything changes. It only took about 45 min for them to do mine its free so why not.

Or see if you can get a longer pipe.

But the OP has repeatedly stated that the brake assembly is being prevented from further rotation because it's fouling the throttle cables?

And I repeatedly said the throttle cables can/should be movable.
Some of us have a life away from the forum, I was trying to multitask.

sorry for any stress caused

OP, the brake assembly looks like it's able to slide towards the yoke a little more, thus shortening the run of the hose to the master cylinder, allowing the assembly to turn a little more.

However, I see the brake (to caliper) hose is tight to the fork - this could be slackened very very slightly to angle away from the fork leg - you may let air into the brake system which will require bleeding again.

With respect to what Y2B is getting at, whilst the 'metal' part of the throttle cables are fouling the bleed nipple, these 'metal' parts of the throttle cables can be rotated where they enter the switch gear - slightly clockwise in your case to direct away from the bleed nipple - the switchgear itself can/must stay put because of it's pin.

If you are sitting upright or are particularly tall, try relaxing & dropping your elbows a little to give your forearms/wrists a straighter run to the controls.
