Ok Marcel so you got a Klictronic for shifting; do yah also have a thumb break and if so did you go for the dual (Front and Back Combo) or a single actuation. The dual is great for road bikes, I used to ride MX years ago im guessing a single unit would give you more control?
Curisosity mate, Nice job always good to see people get back on the road, enjoy and keep it up.

I havent rigged up a rear brake on the YZ yet, i do have one on the Raptor though and will probably hook it up the same way on the yz soon. Its another finger operated lever just under the clutch, that way i can pull the clutch and reach over and pull the brake at the same time. On dirt you really need separate front and rear. I also tried the thumb lever but then to clutch and brake at the same time you dont have much hand left to hang on to the bars which is a problem in choppy off road tracks. Least with two finger levers it leaves your thumb to grip onto the bars.
