RM250 foot pegs
« on: February 04, 2016, 01:22:37 am »
In nosing around this forum I guess the foot peg situation has been pretty much beaten to death!

I'm going to throw my experience in for the heck of it. Last Friday I received a set of RM85/KLX125 pegs from D2Moto.com. The parts are cast, nice and wide, the teeth are pointy but not razor sharp which is Ok by me for wear and tear on the boot soles.

The only issue with them was installing the springs. Where the pivot pin goes through (stock pin fits perfectly), the material is thick enough that the spring doesn't allow the pin to go through without binding. So a little work with the old Dremel tool to remove some of the offending material, I'm talking just a few thousandths, and presto, modern foot pegs :)

The $15.99 delivered price tag was a nice touch as well!

Carry on.

I thought we had another thread, or several, on how dangerous some of these cheap and nasty footpegs were previously?

I didn't see that one Rossco but i tend to agree with you on this. In most cases you get what you pay for. But then on the flip side, if you don't do your research you can spend heaps and end up with shit as i have recently discovered with my forks :(
