I have just brought a 2010 C14 ABS bike. I have a question about the rear brake. I seem to have to push the pedal a long way compared to my '03 C10 bike. Is it possible to make it engage quicker. I guess I can get used to it, but it would be nice to have a quicker response. The bike has 1400 miles on it, so nothing should be worn out. Any comments. Thanks
Do you have a service manual? There is a spec for the height of the brake pedal:
Brake Pedal Position Inspection •Check that the brake pedal [A] is in the correct position.
Footpeg
Pedal Position
Standard: About 45 mm (1.8 in.) below top of footpeg
If it is incorrect, adjust the brake pedal position.
When my bike was new, I had to lower mine, it was way higher than I was used to.
