Rear Brake pedal adjustmet

[Grumpy Goat]

Ray,
Thanks for advise.I have tried both ways and only down works.
The pedal cannot be raised enough to get clear of my boot(9) before it hits footrest casting.
So down as far as adjustment allows and a few miles to test. I will report in a couple of days

I was looking at my bike's rear brake lever yesterday and I agree that down is the only realistic option. Also, moving the lever down is better from a safety standpoint since in an emergency situation your foot would already be in the right position to press, as opposed to pulling out and up before pressing, if your foot was resting below the lever.

The RS has a fairly sporty leg / foot position and maybe that is exacerbating the problem as the ankle may not be able to bend sufficiently acutely to avoid pressing the lever. Raising the seat would alleviate the problem, in addition to adjusting the lever down as mentioned.

Lastly, I think that the wrong type of boot (e.g. an ADV type boot with thicker soles) would make the situation worse. Best boots for sport bikes and sport tourers are those with thinner soles.
