I have the xb9r with the lower pegs. I'm trying to lower the shift and brake pedals to match. Shift is okay, pretty sure I have more room to move. Brake pedal needs to come down about an inch more but I've run out of adjustment. I was hoping that the adjuster rod was a separate brake piece but it doesn't look like it. Any ideas? (I hardly ever use it but there will be times.) | ||

Sorry to hijack but thought this might go hand in hand. I have a XB12S that I just put the R pegs on. I now have the opposite problem you're having. I can't seem to adjust the brake pedal up enough for it to feel right. I wonder if the master cylinder assembly is different between the 2 model bikes? Anyone know? | ||

Ok guys, tell me if I'm wrong here. I was just thinking about this and it dawned on me. There should be plenty of adjustment of the threaded rod on the master cylinder. I should be able to adjust that in or out almost as far as I want. The thing I was worried about before was that the threaded rod would thread out of the U shaped part that's at the end of the rod. I'm thinking if it threads off I can always take the pin out and thread it back on and then insert the pin again. Or I may not have looked at it close enough and it could be that it isn't threaded into the U part at all and could spin on the end all day. I'll have to look at it tonight. | ||

Well I looked at it tonight. The threaded rod doesn't adjust in and out of the master cylinder like I was thinking. It only threads into the U shaped pivot point at the end of the rod to make adjustments. So I'm stumped. Could it be that the R and the S have different brake levers that would make them higher or lower on each model? Or is it the rod that's a different length on each model? Sorry I couldn't help you out Iamarchangel. Any insight would be appreciated. | ||

I just adjusted mine (04 XB12S) a bit the other day and didn't run out of threads so I'm not sure how far you can go. | ||

Iam I put the lower pegs on mine and also ran out of adjustment. As I was looking at it, the easiest thing looked like just wacking off a bit of the threaded rod. Then my fuzzy old mind started working and I remembered a thread some time back that I think said the same thing. If I'm wrong one of the sage souls here should speak up and say so, before I mess something up. So far, as long as it's running and I have time to do anything I ride and just adjust my foot. It gets old after a few miles and I swear I'm gonna fix it(don't use it much, specially since I haven't fixed the rear brake light either)............one of these days. |
