Yamaha XT600E - Replacement Footpegs?
 

Has anyone ever heard of or come across replacement foot pegs?

Both my XT6's have OEM foot pegs. I find them a bit small and uncomfortable when trying to come off the saddle. :(

I'm looking for larger pegs which will provide a bit more support.

Whoever designed the OEM foot pegs did a tardy job. Although they are fit for purpose (just) I would have thought they would have been a bit wider bearing in mind much off road riding is spent standing off the saddle.

I would prefer some wide, shiny bling replacements?

They will need to fit existing foot peg mount platform thingy including spring assembly to allow them to retract upwards if hit from the front.

Alloy ones would be good. They will go with the nice shiny OEM rear pegs. Come to think of it, the rear foot pegs look a lot more comfortable than the existing rider pegs.

I would consider bespoke pegs if the price is right.

Any ideas lads?

Here is something from a guy on advrider.

This subject has been talked about a while back..
I've got
ebay: TW200 foot pegs

I've got a pair on my XT and they are great!
They are direct swap from the ones on the XT and are much wider.

I bought the 200 pegs and honestly it felt like crap using them, its ok that your foot rest good, but off and on when riding offroad was not good at all. It feels like your stuck on the peg, and they dont look good at all on the bike! I could sell you these handycap pegs cheap but shipping is too expensive from Norway..

I actually like them.. tho I do have a longer gear shift lever! :)

I got the chaep tw200 pegs and love them, cant see the problem :confused1:

A few other guys I ride with have'em aswell, and I've fitted them on onther bikes aswell (dt175 and xt350)

I agree the tw200 are very good. I have had once or twice where my foot has stuck to the peg when putting my foot down. But no reason to not like them.....

Better than then they slip off when riding out if the saddle

Yeah, TW200 pegs here, can't fault them TBH.

Cheap solution. If you have spare pegs...

I'm always a fan of DIY stuff, but for 20$ i just bought'em :innocent:

Just got them myself, really nice.

I have just ordered 2 sets - one for each of my XT's.

JOB DONE.

Thanks to all you guy's who informed me of this excellent piece of equipment.

Well happy. :D

I presume they come with everything you need and are easy to fit????doh

They are a doddle to fit being a direct replacement. Th only issue I had was that on one side I had to drill a hole for the return spring as the hole was in the wrong place. I can't remember if it was the right or the left one.

Well worth the effort.

Yeb, you need to drill a single hole in one of'em. :D

Yep the left one( gear shift side). Apparently the 200 has 2 different springs so the leg comes out the on the same end. The XT has thr same spring for both sides so the leg ends up on the opposite side when flipped. Just takes an 3/32"-1/8" drill bit about an 1/8" deep hole right in the corner and the entire peg and spring slip right in. Nice secure footing now.
A longer MSR shifter is going to be on my list now though. With boots that lost inch(approx.) of space is noticeable.

I have a stainless steel set made by the guy in the Czech republic. He is on ADVrider XTforum all the time. I have not ridden with them yet as still getting the bike in shape. I do like the feel of them and the grip they provide. Might be a little rough on the soles of your boots, but they will wear smoother in time.

Hey guys bier

I also had the same problem with uncomfortable stock pegs, and bought the TW200 pegs.
Fitted them today and went for a test ride. Compared to originals the TW pegs are awesome.
But I'm still not quite satisfied... Minor "problems" like the tips for boot grip ain't sharp enough (for me).
So I have ordered Bosley pegs (those custom made stainless steel ones). We'll see how they feel, I bet they are much better than TW pegs :thumbup1:

One more problem I need a solution to - what longer gear lever to buy? I want to replace the original one as it's too short now (as you probably already know).
jjrider - you said an MSR lever. Would this be longer and fit an XT?

I got a longer shift lever from a Yamaha YZ 125 don't know the exact year however...

Will try to post a picture when I get back home to my island!

Well, seems like I had a few on imageshack.us already :)

The problem with those cheap pegs is that they are not propper centered.
Usualy wider pegs need a set off to the back of the midle.If you don´t respect that then your feet will not fit any more.Then you need a longer gear leaver......:censored:
If you order Bosley ones(the best on the market on that style) remember that set off to the rear.

I saw some pics of his, they had the same offset as the ones I have.

The MSR levers do fit the XT, when you order them they should ask for model #. I believe they are the same for YZ's and possibly WR's.

Just take an angle grinder to the teeth of the TW200 pegs, they'll sharpen up to however much needed. Remember if they are sharp your boots will get really chewed up, depending on how soft the soles are.

I use size 46-47Eu in boots, I have the ebay tw200 pegs, and stock gearlever.

Works fine for me, I guess we're all different :D

When I installed my Bosley Stainless pegs I found my original pivot pin was pretty rough and hard to remove. I decided to replace them with new ones as I didn't want them to break. All fitted now, look and feel great. Still not running due to CDI so cannot speak to how they work with the shifter.

I have bosleys stainless pegs with standard gear lever and its fine. The pegs are awesome BTW

Got my Bosley pegs on Saturday and immediately replaced the TW200 pegs. The difference is huge! Bosley pegs hold the boot very firmly. And they are not too sharp to tare the boot apart...
So the Bosley pegs are well worth the cost :thumbup1:
Now I need a gear shift lever...

Do have link to the Bosley peg? When i ride my shoe is pointed downwards most of the time and i only use the edge of the peg, i only use the top of the peg when riding standing up, and the sole of the boot is so hard that you dont feel the peg.
