Position Clutch and Brake Levers

[kiwikx500]

Currently sitting at "4 O Clock" if looking at the end of each bar square on.

Brake lever was in that position when I got the bike, I'm use to just having the levers parallel with the bars.
Guess it all comes down to personal choice, does it help to keep the elbows up more to having levers lower ?

How do the levers sit when off the factory floor ?

Lever positioning is a personal choice in my opinion, but a good bit on info that I learned from my cousin may help.  He told me not to over tighten the leavers so when you fall the leavers will move and not break, and it has saved them.

Yes on the personal choice.  Same with "from the factory" because the bikes come in a crate partially dismantled.  The employee that sets up the bike sets them the way he likes.  I run mine at about 4 o'clock.  Lots of people run them level with the ground.  For me that puts my wrist at an odd angle.  With a K5 you want them at the angel that's best for "hang'n on".

Cheerz guys, will leave them at 4 o'clock  Ta for the reminder on keeping them loose 

Out for a BlllaaaassstT today, crank seal fixed, front spokes re-done etc, be first time I've been riding without hopefully having to worry about anything  "Big Up's" to Alan the gentlemen who couriered me crankcases to down-under from Texas. K5 would be still sitting in the garage if it was not for him, will be thinking of you when pinning it today.
