lever tension adjustment

Does anyone know how to adjust the tension in the brake/clutch levers? Without me taking it to someone else...?

If your clutch is stiff, get some cable lube. "Dri-Slide" works pretty well.

On my 08, the clutch has two adjusters, I had some cable stretch in the early miles, pull the boot off the cable half way up the frame on the left side. Ya need a 1/2 and a 9/16s to do the job.

The front brake, no hope for it.

The rear break, I removed the factory non adjustable bar between the pedal and the mster clyinder. I replaced it with a heavier rod, with hime joints on both ends. Now I dont have to raise my foot off the peg to hit the pedal.
