Default brakes

That's normal. They need to bed in first.

OOOOOHHHHHH REAR-SETS... aka foot pegs...! not a rear set of brakes... gottcha. hahaha, i feel just a little dumber now!

Is the peddle preloading the master cylinder at all? to my knowledge, the only way to adjust it is to file away material to open the gap a little... at least with a typical set of replacement foot pegs.

There is usually a screw that you can adjust the rear set brake cylinder with.
