Changing Foot Pegs on my Z900

[@Alien937]

The stock pegs are weighted to kill the vibes through your feet, you probably won't notice the vibes ,unless you go for a long fast ride on a motorway or freeway as they say in America

Thank you for the video. I just installed the same set of pegs after watching, along with the tall seat option. I can tell you that all together this has transformed the bike. I’m 6’2 so ever bit helps. Also I didn’t notice any increase in vibration. Highly recommended

[@SimpleSimon]

Thats great, does the tall seat feel more comfortable? And does it push you more forward/ or feel like you have a longer reach?

[@tyson6534]

Simple Simon, the tall seat does have a slight incline, but nothing absurd. It did have a hair more reach and pitch forward. Nothing that would fatigue my arms by any means. It took me a ride around town to get readjusted. Well worth it in my opinion.

Simple Simon how did you install heelplates

[@patrickwassall116]

@@SimpleSimon I put the taller Ergo seat and some Renthal Street Low bars (I'm 6' even) and think it's hugely improved. I'd prefer rearsets to bringing my feet lower, however.

[@MrDirtyhabbits]

I drove whit these thanks to you! For more then 6 months no vibes at all! Only it broke in half because i was going to deep in the corner and i was touching the ground orderd a New pair!

[@SimpleSimon]

Thanks for watching!!

[@broderp]

A 1/4" gain and a little weight loss at the cost of comfort and more vibration is not a good trade off. They also cheapen the look of the Z900. Just my 2 cents.

[@SimpleSimon]

Thanks for watching.

[@christianalvarez1188]

Nice. I'll stick to my originals. I commute alot. Cheers I hope you like them. 👍

[@PsyOps404]

I might go this as a temporary change before I can afford some quality rear-sets

[@ivanrodic2704]

1/4 of an inch?! Keep the original, just take out the rubber part and get the SAME difference, or reduce the rubber, or instead of theese get sth.that's lower!

[@8OneOfTheNobodies8]

My bike came with rizoma pegs so I have not tried the standard ones .. but yes they are super heavy .. I have not noticed any vibration on my pegs, hope you are happy with your new pegs :)

Nice video - I think I will try it - I have secondary concern : The striking negative thing that I noticed when I got on my Z900 for the first time was how short the brake and shift levers were ? ? ? When did they start making these components so short ? Also, I find that the shift lever end keeps getting stuck to my shoe where the laces and eyelets are at the upper edge material . So when I want to move my foot from under the shift lever it snags and prevents me from rotating my foot out and around the end of the lever . Is there a longer brake and shift lever with a smoother end on the shift lever ? I also have some large boots and they barely squeeze in between the foot peg and the shift lever . It makes shifting difficult because the shift lever is constantly pressed against the boot so rotation upward presses horizontally almost as much as vertically . I have to move my foot back on the peg to get a good upward rotation on the lever . I am hoping these new pegs will help with that . Thanks again for your fine videos .

[@SimpleSimon]

Yes I had the same problem with these rearsets I had to make some adjustments to the levers to help. And some adjustments to my foot position. It does to seem to get better over usage. Maybe a set of aftermarket rearsets could help.Thanks for watching.

@@SimpleSimon I got the foot pegs - they each are 2 pieces - one piece is the pivot part with the hole for the pin and bolt threads that mate with the pegs - the other part is just the peg with female threads through the middle How do I secure the peg from unscrewing out from the pivot part ? lock washers and Permatex ?

@@SimpleSimon I will get my foot pegs Saturday - I did receive a set the other day but they had scratches on them and I sent them back . I was able to install an adjustable shift lever and it took care of all the problems I had with shifting ... it is wonderful !

Hi, can I ask you please, what is the precise size of the thru axle and the support that attaches to the frame of the bike? - pin hole diameter - distance between the two pin exit holes (support width) many thanks in advance

[@mleys55]

Where is youre mesure point is the new foot stand lower ....mounths in the same place ore ....? and can youre break lever go down so youre foot is not pointing up thanks

[@SimpleSimon]

I measured from the garage floor and the brake lever is adjustable.

[@bobbyblueace]

Nice. What make/model do those pegs come from?

I added a link in the description.

[@ihategmz5174]

What is the new set?

[@jeffreymatawaran6138]

Is it leveled?

[@broderp]

Looks cheap. Not good. Also probably vibrate more that the nice rubber topped OEM ones. Not worth the 1/4" gain.

[@SimpleSimon]

Thanks for watching.

[@SimpleSimon]

I haven't had any problems with them.
