Sarris,
I'm over here on the east coast in Melbourne. I don't get off work until 5, and usually the rain starts around 3:00. I'm hoping for good weather tomorrow so I can finally get out !! Also everyone, is there a way to adjust the "height" of the rear brake pedal ?? I'm finding that I really have to lift my right foot a lot to get to it. I think if I could "lower" it just a little, it would be easier to get my foot on it. Thanks, Rich

If you download the manual (over in the General Maintenance forum, I believe), it does have instructions on adjusting the pedal, I believe. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Do you have an owner's manual? If not, you really should get one.......or download the one here. In my '06 manual, it is pages 7-24 and 7-25.....adjusting the pedal and brake light switch. In the direction you are going, you might have to tweek all 3 adjustments some and then make a second pass to get it where you want. If you try to move it too much at once, you might break something. Or, to put it another way, push the pedal down gently. When you feel resistance, that's as far down as you can go in a single adjustment pass.

Pedal Adjustment
Yes, I have the manual. Did look into it, and it does seem you have to adjust a few things. My neighbor (Harley) offered to do it, or maybe I'll get used to it. In either case, looks like nice weather tomorrow morning, so I'm ready to do a few practice laps around the subdivision.
Thanks everyone for all your responses. I'm sure this is going to get addicting !! Rich

Did you get to take those practice laps around the subdivision? How did it go?

How did I get from "newbie" to "member", LMAO....I guess it's because I'm still a "newbie" to riding, but now have become a "member" of the forum !! Is that like going from "white belt" to "yellow belt" in Karate (yeah, I'm sure I got the colors wrong) !!
Just glad to be here !! Thanks.

Rich - are you getting to ride a little more? Man, I feel like I'm missing out whenever there's a day I don't get to ride. It's simply unexplainable to people who don't ride. Love it!
