position of brake lever

[aea001]

Hi guys,
Did anyone try to adjust the position of the rear brake lever?
My right foot stays in a very uncomfortable position..

Not been an issue with mine bud.

Not had a problem, but the rod that connects the pedal to the master cylinder looks to have an adjuster nut at the bottom end.

  it is adjustable and explains how to in the manual. I'm considering adjusting mine as sometimes I feel my right foot to be a bit tiresome in the current position. I always cover the brake though which is the way I was taught. Do any of you guys ride without covering the brake all the time? Am I over doing it?

I dont cover the brake when I'm riding normally. In start-stop traffic I will a little, but I find it uncomfortable to be over it all the time.

I also don't cover the brake. But Inazuma is my first bike, and I don't know if not covering the brake is the right way of riding... What do you think? (Scoot and others)

[Robell]

I cover the rear during low speed manouveres, and occasionally on islands, where it can be useful to shed a little speed, without upsetting the bike by rolling off the throttle, or touching the front brake.

Only downside I can think of is that if you cover the rear and have an emergency situation, you might get on the back brake too soon and maybe lock up the rear wheel.

Some interesting and good points about not covering it constantly. It's just something I was taught but must admit it does get tiring. Also it's true what Robell said about maybe over doing it on the back brake too soon as your already on it. In a quick response to somebody cutting me up or something like that a couple of times I've over done it on the rear, probably due to that reason. I believed that by covering it always you were ready for emergencies to react quicker, but given that the back brake can easily lock the rear wheel if not treated with care, you end doing more harm than good. I think I'll stop covering it all the time. Thanks guys for your advice.

Very rare I use back brake in fact I hardly use brakes if you can anticipate while riding you wont need brakes  only in emergency.
Even when in my car if I use the brake I always think its a sign of poor driving, a friend of mine an x police motor cycle trainer says if you use brakes you doing something wrong and I agree.
