Rear Brake Pedal Adjustment

[pekingduck]

As stated, 2013-2014 rear brake pedal adjustment is different from 2017. The early models also have a different brake switch, a pull switch with a wire spring. The 2017 uses a microswitch.

"From the manual:
Loosen the push rod joint nut and turn the push rod until the correct pedal height is obtained.

If the brake pedal is adjusted to the lower position, make sure the clearance between the lower end of the push rod and the brake pedal does not fall below 1mm.

If the brake pedal is adjusted to the higher position, make sure the lower end of the push rod is visible inside the joint."



To adjust the brake pedal height on a 2013-2014:
- remove the 2 bolts holding the right footpeg bracket and the muffler bolt
- loosen the clevis lock nut and back of a couple turns
- turn the adjuster nut about 3/4 to 1 turn into the clevis. If the adjuster is turned too far in, it may bind against the brake pedal itself (hence the 1mm clearance the book states. see note below*)
- tighten locknut against the clevis, reassemble, and 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.


Note*
If it does bind, one easy fix is to remove the pedal and grind away a bit of clearance like below.
