2011 RT. Brake and shifter NOT adjustable ??
REALLY ?? On a machine that originally retailed for OVER $20,000 ???
SERIOUSLY ??
Adjustable pedal position...via an adjustable linkage.....that is.
The salesman said YES.
The service tech says NO.
I suspect that the service dept. is right but I'm more than a little disappointed.

I agree about the spacer I just added a 1 and 1/2 inch spacer with longer bolts and it worked out great.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

Well with the one I have, the shifter linkage has the traditional adjustable linkage rod; you loosen two lock nuts and make the rod longer or shorter, allowing for smaller adjustments.
Like others have mentioned, I have a larger brake pedal on order and will "shim" it up with spacers and longer bolts as needed.

Have a close look at the brake. The rod may be adjustable, but the pedal posistion may not be. Use care if you adjust the brake rod, you do not want to block the bleed hole as the brakes will drag or not release when hot.
You might however be able to locate the pedals hard stop and change that, but I do not recall it being adjustable.

Agree...
On many (RS 2012) the shifter had the toe section adjustable as well as the lever to the shaft. Unfortunately the brake was fixed. As you can see from other posts there are options. In my case I made up new pedals...
20160125_091712.jpg we also have a manual park brake pedal so I did that one as well after banging up my shin a few time....
