Not sure what you guys thing about this, but for me it's the details sometimes that can make the difference. I'm a strong advocate when it comes to ergonomics and comfort when it comes to motorcycles. I bring this up thinking that maybe not everyone thinks about such things that often and could use a little reminder every now and then.
In regards to your clutch and brake levers it's like real estate location, location, location, right. For me anyway, I prefer both levers positioned downwards as possible. You see I would rather NOT have to rock my wrists down, or back which ever you prefer, in order to lift my fingers to reach a lever. Waste of valuable time in my book. I would rather just lift my finger slightly up then glide them across the lever then drop 'em in place. I do realize moving levers like this on some motors is not practical due to the proximity to other functions such as brake reservoirs etc. on handlebars. However, if you're able to situate your levers in a fashion that suit your riding style a little better all the more reason to visit the subject?
Told a woman YT motorvlogger she should move her levers down for comfort and she just didn't believe me. Hey, you are what you eat and I'll leave it at that.
Just food for thought because I know details like this really don't rank high on the list of things to address on a motorcycle but you would be surprised on what small details can do for your comfort and fatigue levels.
As low as reasonably possible. Yes, I know this is a sport bike but it works for ALL motorcycles trust me.
