Re: idle wheelies/circles
If its squishy then you either need better fluid or a bleeding....Adjusting the pedal wont fix a mushy brake....

Re: idle wheelies/circles
I know that when I first started stunting I was hard on the brake, and could cook stock fluid in 5 mins....
Ever since Ive been running Motul RBF 600 and have never been able to cook it since....
It just sounds weird that you want to raise it, because Ive never seen or heard of anyone wanting to raise the brake pedal from the stock position. As everyone usually wants to lower it from stock, so your foot isnt stressing trying to cover it....

one of the squids that I ride with has an 04 GSXR 600.... not sure how similar they are, but his pedal was not in the most comfortable of positions, he improvised by forcing a Craftsman socket over the rubber piece to extend the pedal out almost 3 inches and then put skate board grip tape on it. You can keep your foot slightly angled out now... it helps.... I would try to use a small piece of heavy wall tubing as opposed to a socket, but the socket may actually be a tighter fit over the rubber since it is hexed.
hope this info is useful....
and change your fluid.......

I am
I pretty much agree with everyone's statements on here, and those pedals do come kinds set funny from the factory.
idle with foot brake on that bike and lever adjusted up is no problem ... I got a HB, but I don't use it much yet.
How are you moving the pedal up and down... and what hole do you have your rearset in... you do know those are adjustable too right? But explain in detail how you adjusted your pedal... Becuz I had a problem after adjusting mine, where when it was up so far if you just barely brushed your finger against the brembo lever it'd lock up the back brakes solid as hell and mouse trap ya... and also enough foot brake lever movement and it'd lock it up too!
Turns out I was adjusting the lever position wrong.. or my freind adjusted it wrong when he was poppin my bike's circle cherry.... I won't name names, but you know who you are... LOL
