Uprated Footpegs?

[swazi_matt]

do you not need to grind them so they can fold up all the way?
My moose hybrids had me wedged between two rocks recently that i used to get through without any problem before.

I actually think i might try to cut and weld the outer loop so that they do not stick out as far, find they tend to get in the way a bit

No, they are made with both the GasGas and Yamahas in mind, they work great. Try Talon Uk

The Talon website has very poor photographs. Do their pegs sit absolutely flat?

I dislike the way the GG ones angle up in the air. I could grind down the tab, but then they would angle forward instead.

Leave them, as the pins wear they will sit flatter. Better than starting flat and sagging the other way.

+1 on the ims pro series. my bike is sixth hand and they have been on it since the first owner, a AA rider from D23.

Soild advice, but one of mine angles more than the other. I was even contemplating a set of pivot pegs for experimentation. I would mod the stem by heating and bending and then weld them solid. That is a bit extreme, but the stock ones just look way too dainty.

 

[GMP]

There might be weld spatter under the peg stop if one is much higher than the other, but some variance is typical. By all means get the Pivot Pegs, but leave them alone and ride. Something that seems like a gimmick at first and turns out to be an excellent mod.

FYI-I ended up buying the new Talon YZ/WR Pegs, they bolt straight on and are a fantastic piece of kit.

I found some Talon's listed for YZ/WR/etc. 01-09. These the ones?

Maybe that's a generic picture, there doesn't seem to be much of a cutout for the fold up.

I had a set of Fastway's on my 05 YZ250, and loved them. Buuuuutttt I wound up taking them off and putting my stock YZ pegs back on as I couldn't afford the boots that these pegs were shredding. The soles of my high end Gaernes were destroyed in half a dozen rides. Although I still have the FAstway pegs, I'm gonna search out a pair of Ti YZ stock pegs.

 

[motorhead]

the stock ones are butter!

The stock butter is WAY cheaper than a frame...

 

[GMP]

Yeah, that was always a thought with the Fastways. Plus, they are just too wide IMO. To save the boot soles you can run shorter screws. Pivot pegs are awesome. Thet are also strong but probably not enough to tear the mount off the frame.

I agree with GMP. I'm not sure I'd get along with something that wide on my enduro. I have a set of F3's on my Husky dual sport and they are absolutely great for that.

I'm kinda leaning towards the Moose hybrids. They have a 1/2" offset option and don't look to have the super sharp teeth the Pro versions do. They have a slight convex platform that sounds like a plus, but I have no experience with anything but flat pegs.

I'd also consider the Pivot Pegz, but I've heard they are a maintenance item (from a previous user) - keeping them clean, greased, and free to move. I do lots of mud, so not sure how much attention they would need. Maybe someone can comment on that.

I have Moose pegs that are a little lower and wider than stock. They are plenty stout and not too sharp so they wont tear up boots. the rear corner of the right peg has to be ground down some to let it fold up as it hits the pivot bolt on the brake pedal.

Good to know. I assume these are GasGas pegs they list in their application chart (same number as the YZs). Do you notice the convex shape at all or is that just gimmicky?

 

[GMP]

Pivot pegs are no big deal. I'm not that far from you and our terrain is the same. The biggest problem I saw is the tiny o-rings getting damaged on assembly and letting crud in the pivot. I pulled mine apart, measured everything, and bought a bag of orings in a few sizes. I went to a thicker oring on one side to help this, but if your carefull its no big deal. I pull them apart, wipe clean, regrease, new o-rings every few rides like I do with the brake pedal and kickstart pivots. Mine are on original bushings after almost two seasons.

 

[mrkartoom]

That sounds like less of a deal than what I heard. I'd like to try the Pivots out, but nobody I know uses them. They are pretty pricey to buy and end up not liking them, but a lot of people seem to love them. Gotta hit somebody up at the next event to test them out.

 

[GMP]

To me they are like a steering damper. I bought mine used (great shape) to try and see if it was a gimmick. Turned out I love them and now have to have them on any bike from now on. Hard to describe, just makes standing control eaiser for me, and no shifter/brake issues even with bulky boots.

Maintanence can be done with the main part (post) still on the bike. A 17mm nyloc nut holds the peg part on and comes off easy.

 

[swazi_matt]

the moose hybrids also have the sharp teeth on the outside. trashed my boots on th efirst ride. have since filed them down and they fine.

the convex shape feels a bit different, but seems to work well, i do not see it eating through my boots like the flat pegs

Yes they are a little convex but I would not have noticed if you hadn't asked.

They came in a packed labeled YZ.
