Rear brake lever position

[mcconnac]

New to a 2015 XR and only minor issue I have is the position of the rear brake lever.  I find I'm having to turn my foot in towards the bike, "searching" for the lever.  Is this normal? The lever doesn't look bent or twisted in any way and no scrape marks.  Will get used to it obviously but levers just not "intuitively" there if that makes any sense

Hi mate I had the same issue, fitted a Wunderlich brake pedel extender, so much better plus I don’t even notice it on the bike, looks the part!

Can't remember the last time I used the rear pedal. These linked brakes have got a lot to answer for.

    Has it got a rear brake pedal

Yep, I put an extender on, much more comfortable

You get used to it. I tend to ride balls of feet on pegs and just slip the foot forward for slow speed control or final smooth stop.

As people have stated above get a pedal extender. I had the exact same issues and this cured it immediately. As my satnav tells me on my trip data I use the rear brake quite a bit. I know the brakes are linked but at low speeds it makes a huge difference using the rear brake as opposed to the front.

I also experienced this problem with the rear brake pedal.  Was especially an issue with low speed maneuvers where the rear brake is need.  The Wunderlich brake pedal extension is a bit pricey but fixes the issue and looks stock.

Cheers for the replies,  will have a look at the extenders

I has this issue to start with, but it only took a few hundred miles to learn the position.  I also ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs and now have no problem sliding forward and finding the rear brake.
