Hello hello everyone....
Question for you all - has anyone adjusted the position of the rear brake pedal? Perhaps drop it a bit from it's stock position? I am asking because it feels like when my foot is on the peg and relaxed, if I keep my toe over the brake, I have to constantly keep my foot flexed to not have the brake engaged - additionally, I find it very difficult to control the amount of brake applied in slow speed maneuvers when the pedal is positioned thusly.

One of the instructors suggested I just put my foot over the very edge of the brake pedal, but in my mind it doesn't seem like that should gain me any more control over the brake - and if anything it lessens the control vs if I have the pedal fully covered.

Still very much a green rider - finally approaching the 2k mi mark on the bike.
