Title: Lowering brake pedal on Girly 885i?
Post by: haroldo_psf on January 24, 2012, 07:28:19 PM
I need to lower that pedal by about 1/4" to 1/2".

Is there any solution to this? The pedal is not adjustable as far as I can tell

is the linkage to the m/c from the pedal adjustable ? making it shorter will lower the pedal height

It is ajustable,I've done both 885i's and my 955 but I ajusted the other way as mine had too much travel and I wanted it on as soon as I touched the lever with my foot.

Take the rear brake lever off and you can turn the rod on the thread.

I just did mine because I wanted it higher to come into play sooner. I always had to angle my foot down.
But, I dont know how others have found it, but on the girlies it is a prick of an adjustment to get at. The exhaust pipe is in the road to get at it from the rear. In the end I took the whole footpeg and MC attachment right off, detached everything, then adjusted the two nuts to be in the position shown in the picture on this thread, then put it all back together. One thing to make sure of is that the spring is reset as well, because by doing the adjustemnt as I did, the spring becomes slack, so needs a tweek.
Is there any easier way?

It's the very first job I've done on all 3 Tigers as soon as I've gotten the bike home,bolt out off the pedal,clip off the pin, turn ajuster,and back on,how the hell anyone rides one in stock trim :? ,must have a double jointed ankle.
