Well...I like my Suzuki, but I find after an hour of riding my knees ache from the riding position...does anyone know if the pegs, clutch and brake position can be lowered or moved, to give me more space?

.... ?

How big are you?

Yeah, I'm guessing the dude is a friggin' monster!
No problems here, but I'm told you can get another inch or so by "flipping the pegs": moving the right to the left and vice versa, and turning them upside down...
But I recommend you then adjust gear and brake levers to suit...
I've also heard "complaints" that some of the Sargeant (sp?) brand seats raise the seated position, so that may work in your favour.

But seriously, just how big ARE you?

Maybe handle bar risers may help also ,helps take the pressure off your hips and straighten you up alittle.

Thanks for the responses. I'm 6'2" and 210lbs. Not hugh, but the amount of time I played catcher in baseball has caught up with me. The seat idea is a thought and I'll look at the pegs.

Any other thoughts?

As Nitekreeper says, Sargent makes a "high" and "low" seat. Get the "high seat". That should give you sufficient legroom.

They are expensive, but not as expensive as trading in your bike (if you like it otherwise).

I flipped my pegs, gives you another inch or 2. Just have to watch it when riding the twistys, some times I drag a toe if I forget to adjust my feet.

I'm 6'1" and have a 34in inseam. As mentioned before, the Sargent Seat raises you up somewhere in the neighborhood of two and three quarter inches over stock.

My knees bother me when I'm wearing leather riding pants. Other than that, I'm all-day-good. Then again, I'm also 30 lbs lighter (and only 25 years-old).

I think I'd rather raise the seat and the handlebars before I started tweaking the shift lever, but I'm not mechanically inclined.

The shift lever is easily adjusted, there will be a little less space between the peg and the lever because the peg moves forward slightly but I got used to it. Brake side is adjustable too and the distance doesn't really matter. Took me an hour to flip the lever and make adjustments. I have bad knees so I had to do it and that small amount made a world of difference for me. I will probably get a Sargent seat this winter, but the low version which I hear is still taller than stock. I also shimmed the shift lever bracket out a little with longer bolts and washers, maybe 3/8 inch, makes it easier for me to shift.
