High foot brake?

[drifter]

Took a test drive a little while back and noticed the foot brake seems high. Anyone know of a mod to lower the pedal by an inch or two?

Yea it does seem a bit high. I have to slide my foot back on the peg to keep from riding the brakes.

The brake pedal was even higher on the pre-production Spyders. This was one of the more popular "complaints" voiced by riders. BRP lowered the pedal a bit on the production units, but it is still a bit too high, IMO.

The brake pedal is ok for me when 1up. That little bit I have to scoot forward to make room for a passenger makes it too high for me to cover for very long with my foot. I asked the dealer to lower it at my first service. Not possible, they said. I have looked at it myself and determined that it could be done; but not without major surgery. Too much effort for me for the return, but others may find an easier way and post it.

The position of the brake pedal was the only 1 major difficulty I expressed when first riding the spYder. Now, after 3 months of riding, it is still a complaint and no solution, to date. My dealer is working with me to find a solution. The spYder specialist at the dealership is suggesting a couple of possibilities - a step down attachment beside the regular pedal and a right HAND brake addition. We'll report when a solution is determined.
