ACK! My foot brake hits the MC Engine Guard!
ACK! My foot brake hits the MC Engine Guard!
[attachment=2:1wzua6a5]DSCI0015.JPG[/attachment:1wzua6a5] I had adjusted the screw here to be further up the cable. [attachment=1:1wzua6a5]DSCI0018.JPG[/attachment:1wzua6a5] Now it doesn't hit. [attachment=0:1wzua6a5]DSCI0019.JPG[/attachment:1wzua6a5] For each one full revolution of the adjustment screw, I tested the brake to see if it would hit. I stopped as soon as it didn't by hand pressure and I could see a little gap. I wish to confirm this is the correct thing to do! |

Re: How-to: Install MC Engine Guard / Crash Bar
IIRC, there's an adjustment screw on the brake pedal itself which you can use to alter the position of the brake pedal. Don't stop at hand pressure though, you're foot is going to put a lot more pressure on there when you want braking power.

If all else fail just bend the pedal to the side a bit if it will provide clearance. Above all the brake pedal has to be there under your foot when needed, not somewhere in the vacinity and you have to search for it. |

Re: How-to: Install MC Engine Guard / Crash Bar
IMHO it seems like a design fault. Strange that the manufacturers haven't picked up on it. :??:
