Have a trusted bike shop adjust the shifter cables. I'm told that all new bikes need to be re-tuned a month or 2 after purchase due to cable stretch.

A major limitation is the steerer tube length. No matter how many times you cut a steerer tube it won't get longer.

Getting Riser Bars or simply flipping the stem over or getting one with a different rise and reach might give you the added height you need. If you LIKE the handlebars, the stem is the best and least-invasive option as most new ones come with front loaders (detachable front caps) that allow replacement without stripping components off one side of the handlebar. In minutes a Bicycle Shop could swap any number of them onto your bike for you to try.

A reputable Bicycle Shop would have fit the bike to you before you took it home.

Try contacting K2 directly.

I've repaired mine in on mountain a few times with super glue. Not my first choice but it does work. As for a permeant repair I would talk to K2 about the issue, I've talked with them a few times and they generally are a decent group to deal with.

Try changing the black straps. You can get them in almost every Sports shop. Just take one off the ratchets with you and try out the different sizes they have.

Good Luck

The only way to do this is to get new stem with the bigger angle degree. If not sure, get the adjustable stem.

Any Bike Shop.

brake pads are most likely dried up. you need soft rubber for brake pads

Hello my name is Israel and I will help you. First you will need to know where the override switch is located. Once you know where it is, you will need to close all vehicle doors and let it set. Once the alarm sets, enter vehicle, the alarm will sound. Insert key and put in the run position, but DO NOT START the vehicle. Once it is in the run position, push or turn on the overirde switch. This should turn off the alarm. Good Luck.

The cable runs through a bent piece of aluminum tubing called a noodle. At the end of the noodle is a piece that looks like the business end of a bullet. You need to squeeze the two brake pad levers and insert the bullet on top of the cable catch.
