02Locate the Brake Pedal Adjustment Mechanism

  • Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual to find the location of the brake pedal adjustment mechanism. It is typically located near the foot peg or on the side of the motorcycle frame.
  • Once you've located the adjustment mechanism, make sure the motorcycle is on a stable surface and the engine is turned off.

03Lowering the Brake Pedal Height

  • To lower the brake pedal height, use the appropriate tool, such as an adjustable wrench or Allen wrench, to loosen the lock nut on the adjustment mechanism.
  • Rotate the adjuster in the desired direction to lower the pedal. Each motorcycle model may have a specific clockwise or counterclockwise rotation to lower the pedal.
  • Once you've achieved the desired height, tighten the lock nut to secure the adjustment.
  • Test the brake pedal to ensure it operates smoothly and provides adequate braking power.

04Raising the Brake Pedal Height

  • To raise the brake pedal height, follow the same steps as lowering the pedal but rotate the adjuster in the opposite direction.
  • Loosen the lock nut, rotate the adjuster in the appropriate direction to raise the pedal, and then tighten the lock nut once the desired height is achieved.
  • Test the brake pedal to ensure smooth operation and sufficient braking power.

05Final Adjustments and Checks

  • After adjusting the brake pedal height, sit on the motorcycle and simulate braking to ensure your foot comfortably reaches the pedal.
  • Make any additional adjustments if necessary to achieve the ideal position for your riding style and comfort.
  • Double-check all fasteners and make sure they are securely tightened to prevent any unwanted movement or loosening during rides.
  • Refer to your owner's manual for any specific recommendations or torque values for the adjustment mechanism.
  • Clean and polish the brake pedal area to remove any grease or dirt that may have accumulated during the adjustment process.
