It should be possible to make some adjustment, if you tell us what bike it is, someone may be able to tell you exactly how Smile

you cant adjust the pedal it self, unless you rotate the whole foot rest assy but then your have a foot peg thats not straight.

under the rear brake your find a spring, follow that up a little and it is hooked to a big switch (large black thing just above the brake lever) your see a small plastic tread and a plastic bolt, loosen the bolt then get the pedal in to the position you would like the light to come on, then tighten up the bolt.

regards

If the pedal fits on to a splined shaft, surely it is possible to undo the pinch bolt and slide it on in a diff position ??

Cheers

well i don't know about the yamaha, but when tried it on my ninja, i couldn't get the rear brake hydraulics back on the lever again..they didn't reach far enough Confused i probably could move it...but i seemed alot of work, so i just got out of the habit of resting my foot on the brake

Is this a question of the foot resting over the pedal all the time?

Annoying for people following !!

Could you not angle your foot outwards (point the toes out) ??

Or, you could put your feet on the pegs properly!

Put the ball of your foot on the peg, touching the brake will not be an issue then, as your foot will not be near it.
