Huh.
Unless you're a toe-down rider, I'd say move the lever down.
If you're a toe-down rider, you can either retrain yourself, to (1) lower your heels (which was how I was first taught a gazillion years ago), (2) keep the balls of your feet on the pegs, or (3) keep your feet pointing out, so that the movement to the brake pedal is not unlike what you do with a brake pedal in an automobile. I've seen some riders keep the base of their big toe in contact with the lever, so they know where it is.
(Strikes me that riding barefoot might be a good training method.... Didn't MrVVRROOMM have a post or two on riding with one boot?)
That said, you've had a few years of riding - no problems with rear brake pads in years past? The other possibility is that the problem is with the upper half of the motorcycle. If your foot slaps when you walk, you might have the doc' make sure you haven't developed a drop foot or severe shortening in the achilles tendon.
