WARNING: The stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must
not be visible above the top of the headset. If the stem is
extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark the stem
may break or damage the fork’s steerer tube, which
could cause you to lose control and fall.
Your dealer can also change the angle of the
handlebar or bar end extensions.

WARNING: An insufciently tightened stem binder
bolt, handlebar binder bolt or bar end extension
clamping bolt may compromise steering action,
which could cause you to lose control and fall. Place
the front wheel of the bicycle between your legs and
attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you
can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the
handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end
extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts are
insufciently tightened.
D. Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and
their position on the handlebars can be changed. Ask
your dealer to make the adjustments for you.
E. Brake reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be
adjusted for reach. If you have small hands or
nd it difcult to squeeze the brake levers, your
dealer can either adjust the reach or t shorter
reach brake levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever
reach, the more critical it is to have correctly
adjusted brakes, so that full braking power
can be applied within available brake lever
travel. Brake lever travel insufcient to apply
full braking power can result in loss of control,
which may result in serious injury or death.
4. Tech
It’s important to your safety, performance
and enjoyment to understand how things work
on your bicycle. We urge you to ask your
dealer how to do the things described in this
section before you attempt them yourself, and
that you have your dealer check your work
before you ride the bike. If you have even the
slightest doubt as to whether you understand
something in this section of the Manual, talk to
your dealer.
