KX brake pedal, what year?

[sn22]

Hi All,
Just purchased my first GasGas yesterday. She's a '00 EC300 that was purchased in '01 as a leftover. I am the third owner. I am in need of a brake pedal and see from the crossover list that the KX works with modification. My question is what year KX and what is the modification? Also Im looking for a parts book and shop manual to download? I didnt see any on the main site that went back that far. Thanks, I look forward to contributing to this forum and Ive already rec'd alot of help from it!

brake pedal spring

Might anybody have a pic of where the brake pedal spring hooks onto the frame?
Thanks for the link to gofasters too!

There is a frame reinforcement (gusset) below the swingarm mount.
The gusset is open along the top and the spring drops in the "slot".

I found a pic of a WEC bike showing the spring attachment. You will see it attach right near the swing arm pivot at the gusset like Dave mentioned.

WOW, killer photos. Thanks.....I need that chain guide and the radiator guards. Is the end of that radiator guard threaded to accept the lower shroud mounting bolt?

Does anyone know what year KX pedal fits a GG? And what mods need to be done?

I ended up rebuilding my stock gasgas pedal. Gofasters sent me the parts to rebuild the mounting point and I welded up the end because it was all rounded out and the tip was held on by the spring so my buddy carefully rebuilt the end with weld and I redrilled a new hole and put a new tip, spring and pin in it and its good as new and for alot less then a new brake pedal.

FYI - my '04 EC200 has been down waiting for some parts so I've been riding my KX/DX200. I wrapped the brake pedal around the footpeg and discovered that my Gas Gas brake lever works as a replacement!

Moral of the story: the rear brake pedal from a '92 KX125 should fit (at least a '04 gas gas) You will need to use the bushing from the pivot point on the gas gas pedal to use the KX pedal.

PS. My bike is a bit of a frakenbike and I think the actual pedal on it is from a '94 KDX200 so that should work too.
