    Default Foot Brake Pedal Height Adjustment?

    I am wondering if there is an adjustment on the 'at rest' position of the foot brake pedal (right side, not parking brake)? The 2008 GS Sport riding position has my knees bent and my feet are too far behind me to allow me to raise just my toe to step on the brake pedal. The result is I have to raise my leg and foot completely off the peg each time I use the brake. The concern is the few seconds it takes to complete that action. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    I have the same problem on my 2014 RT....... Dealer says no adjustment available. Any Mechanical gear head have a solution?

    I may take the foot lever off cut and weld it back where I want it. I can not rest my foot over the brake control with our flashing the brake lights. I want mine lower.

    Me too..damn stupid design. The foot shifter needs to be lowered too, I rotated the toe thingy down but still not low enough. Tomorrow I will pull the assembly off with a gear puller and rotate it CW one tooth or maybe 2 or 3, whatever is needed to make this thing enjoyable and safe.

    If I do cut the brake pedal I will bolt it back together and make it adjustable rather than weld it.

    In my PM I suggested taking off the rubber cover and re-placing it with a piece of sheet metal......that's about a 1/4 inch, if you do this , before you put it on ,what I did was take a nail and put dimples in the metal then turn it over and bolt it on .......this will give you a traction surface and your foot will not slip in the rain......Mike

    Could you post a photo of how you changed the brake pedal. Your solution doesn't sound like it would lower the pedal by a noticeable amount?

    thx

    I just made my own hand brake. Not paying almost $1800 landed in Canadian. Did mine with a hydraulic front master and a small clutch cylinder and aluminum for about $150
