Here is a photo of the previously mentioned spring. I am a Motor Officer and naturally use a lot of rear brake by habit for slow speed movements. I immediately noticed the rear brake or should I say lack of rear brake engagement of the C14 vs the majority of other bikes I have ridden. I removed the spring and it was a HUGE improvement to me, hopefully there are no side effects. The rear brake pedal disengages fine without the spring. There are two springs, one is for the brake light engagement from the pedal, the other is the spring removed. The larger spring was removed. In the photo you can see it but it is not hooked around the shaft like the brake light switch spring. It can be removed without taking the brake pedal off with some pliers and a screwdriver in about 5 minutes. Re-assembly would be much easier with the pedal off.
a request, please. I would love to see a pic of your work bike, if its ok with the dept, etc.
If a person HAS to have a return spring on their brake pedal, there are better ways of doing that.
Fasstco sells a
brake return spring for dirt bikes. Originally developed for the JGR bikes. Anyway if you get the right one it will thread on the mc and allow adjustable tension on the return spring. We need th e8mm size for our c14's.
