Topic: Rear Brake Pedal Angle

[The Lone Builder]

I'm almost there ... almost!

I'm trying to adjust the rear brake pedal and spring. The first issue is that the pedal either sits too high or hits the exhaust when depressed.

Looking at the return spring, and having seen several related posts, it all looks to me a bit loose; the spring that is. I have the spring positioned as in the photos, which I think is correct.

The first photo is with the actuator rod loose to show the position of both ends of the spring (one covered by rubber tube) and the second is with the rod "tight".

Can anyone confirm the spring is correctly located and then advise how to position the brake pedal, using the split in the lever as a reference; I currently have it at about 10 o'clock.

Thanks.

Are you using the rubber tube to protect the frame paint? Never seen that before.
Honda provides a little centre punch dot on the brake pedal and another one on the edge of the end of the shaft, if the dots line up you have it right! Ten o'clock sounds close. The actuation lever and spindle at the rear end also have these dots - on my bike I have the lever one spline tighter than the dots suggest so I don't have to have the adjuster done up so far to have a nice tight pedal,
