Question about adjusting rear brake

[FloydV]

You know what we call guys like you at the track? "Noodle"!

Just so YOU know, the reason you don't give guys instructions by the book on this particular application is because after the first year of ownership, you can't turn that shaft with your fingers and most resort to a pair of pliers ending up with buggered up threads then nothing works. Thus, simply pull the pin from the clevis and adjust the fooker and replace the pin. So simple even a "Noodle" can do it!

So you tell um YankeeNoodle!

You guys are getting funny. I will see how hard it is to turn. Does anyone know what that nut next to the rubber is for?
From experimentation, there is no way to turn it without turning the bolt.

Yes, you have to turn the threaded adjuster in order to adjust the brake lever to your liking. Grab a 10MM wrench and a 12MM wrench.. Loosen the 12MM then turn the 10MM to the desired brake lever height. once complete lock the 12MM nut.. ADJUST THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH when complete cause it will be on if your lowering your lever.

Uhhhhhhhhhh if your talking about the head of the threaded shaft its to put a wrench on to turn.

If its easier ride the bike to Nashville and I can adjust it for you.

Ohhhh Poochie Poodle..
Ya know I have always made this adjustement on bikes and never had an issue. (also stated to spray a little WD-40 on the rubber grommet which would then drip down on the threaded adjuster)
Ya see the little symbol in the black box? Thats a wrench (in a slow voice) Da wrench goes on the top part which looks like a sqaure.. Kinda like the round one goes in the round hole? No one ever said to use pliers on the threads. Hopefully we dont have to add that.
Your not only the bestest of all the best riders but now your smarter and advise better ways then the engineers at Suzuki. Can I get a paw print autograph??lease:

God gave you ONE mouth and TWO ears for a reason. Maybe you should try solving that equation before getting into anything mechanical.

Stick with the track advice pooch.... It makes it very difficult when I have to help people once you got them off track hopefully your better at keeping your riders on the track then you are at offering techincal advice.

That makes the most sense to me. BTW, if the brake light is on, how do I adjust it off?

as you're making adjustments, the light will/shouild turn off when you get it right.
