Rear brake lever positioning

ArizonaKev · 06-02-2010, 01:17 AM

Ok, I know there are posts about HOW to adjust the positioning of the rear brake pedal - my question is, is there a right/recommended position for it, or is it best to just position to where it is comfortable to me?

It seems the me that when I rode motorcycles years ago, I really didn't have to lift my foot off the right peg hardly at all to apply the rear brake. But on my GZ250, I have to take my foot all the way off the pedal and raise it up to apply it. Is that a common positioning for cruiser style bikes? Where, how do most of you position your rear brake pedal? Does it really matter? Is there some kind of guideline to follow, or best practice?

Any and all advice/comments are appreciated. Thanks!
