How to adjust the brake pedal height

Adjusting the brake pedal height wasn't obvious to me, but it turned out to be pretty simple. (Maybe I should have read the manual )
  1. Follow the brake pedal back to the rubber boot under the rear brake reservoir.
  2. Carefully pull the rubber boot up from the bottom to expose the lock nut.
  3. Using a 10mm open-ended wrench, loosen the lock nut. Leave plenty of room.
  4. Grasping the rubber boot, turn the entire bolt by hand. It will move easily and adjust the brake pedal up or down.
  5. At the desired height, tighten the locknut
  6. Carefully pull the boot down over the locknut. Make sure the top of the boot stays in its groove and maintains a good seal.

Thanks for posting this nice little tutorial. The labeled photograph is superb.

Thanks! The pedal was set higher than I like at the factory, and I finally worked it out. I really should pull up the manual. I have no idea how well this is described there.

The lower shock link/dogbone is welded, and I'm confident it will not bend.

None of my bikes have a boot like that. Good idea.

I'm slightly annoyed that the brake pedal can't be lowered enough. I like to be able to rest my foot on the peg with my toes over the pedal, but not touching it. I'm going to have to take the master cylinder off and cut a centimeter off the rod in order to get the pedal low enough, I think.

Charles.
