2013-2014 models have a steel brake pedal, 2016 and later have an aluminum pedal. Brake lever height adjustment is different between the two.
Since I have a 2017, I'll show first how I adjusted it. Should take 15 minutes, no fluid is exposed, no pressure is affected.
2017 models do not have a physical stop adjustment bolt. Removing the 3 bolts holding the right footpeg mounting bracket will reveal the master cylinder and pedal. The large spring at front holds the pedal upward normally, and the limiter is the pushrod, contained within the master cylinder by a circlip.
To adjust the pedal lower:
- remove the pedal pivot circlip and washer - no need to remove the pedal or spring.
- remove the master cylinder pushrod's cotter pin and the pin that goes through the pedal. You will have to slide the pedal off its pivot partly for clearance.
- slide the clevis away from the pedal. The clevis is threaded, so hold the clevis lock nut with a 12mm wrench, loosen the clevis with an adjustable wrench and remove it.
- using a 14mm wrench to hold the adjustment nut, back the lock nut off with a 12mm.
- the exposed tip of the pushrod has a flat to hold the shaft while you turn the larger adjustment nut away from the tip around 3/4 to 1 full turn.
- tighten the lock nut, snug the clevis nut against it, thread the clevis on and tighten it against its lock nut.
- reassemble in reverse order. Check the pedal height and brake light - you may need to readjust the pedal as just a little adjustment at the pushrod has a lot of effect at the pedal tip.
