Default Rear Brake Pedal

Hello ...
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get more braking from the foot brake pedal ... Braking is virtually non existent using the pedal...

Thanks

You will need to adjust the brake system at the brake, their should be a mechanisim right next to the brakeing area that when turned will loosen or tighten the brake response.

Are you using the pedal all the time.............You should/must use the handlebar lever for braking......Due to the fact this will control all the braking front with the rear!

When the foot pedal is used this will only provide braking at the rear rotors!!!
If you don't know this already........If you do please disregard....Caper........

what year is it? on mine there's a lock nut and bolt to adjust the pedal. where the pedal mounts on the caliper there's a bolt sticking out of the center of the caliper.loosen the nut and turn the bolt it will raise or lower the pedal.
