i have a 2007 sherco 290 and the rear brake pedal seems to be too high, i have to bend my ankle a hell of a lot to get my foot onto the brake. when pulling a wheelie it feels almost impossible to tap the rear brake. Is there anyway to adjust the height of the brake pedal.??????????

Well, there is a stop screw adjustment, although you may have to compensate on the pushrod side if you take the freeplay out of it! Freeplay = 0 works, but it needs to return fluid so cannot overadjust.

Mine is a bit higher than the peg, but I adjust and do not hit it upon accident, which is the other curse if level! :crying:

Right, i didnt even think about hitting it on accident. Yeah it is slightly above pegs. I'l just have to get used to using it where it is.
It doesnt help that at the moment im wearing my old moto x boots as im saving to get a nice pair of trials bike boots.
