My dealer told me that the rubber-topped FZ pegs are a straight swap. I dislike the pegs on my FJ: being so heavily 'studded' - rather resembling some weapon out of a Middle Ages weapons armoury - they do not readily allow me to move my feet around. Was told here (Oz) the FZ's pegs will cost around $150. No doubt cheaper aftermarket items are available. L of S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted May 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 11, 2015 shame they didn't use the same design as the Super Tenere - these have rubber pegs that compress if you stand up so your boots make contact with the metal grippers. Works well. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got these FZ6 footpegs off ebay and have been using them for 5 months now. They're comfortable and do a good job of reducing vibrations.

peder Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Looks good, was it hard to change them? What tools are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member clint Posted May 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 12, 2015 Looks good, was it hard to change them? What tools are needed?The right side OEM peg comes off quickly with the removal of a circlip and post while the left side peg is riveted and requires a die-grinder or Dremel to remove the post. All need replacement hardware comes with the pegs including springs, feelers, etc. It took about 1/2 hr to do. I nice improvement over stock IMHO.

trench Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I just ordered the FZ6 pegs from Ebay as these are exactly what I've been looking for to eliminate the small buzz and be slightly more forgiving. Hopefully they'll be good quality and not too slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, I got caugth in a big rainstorm. With Traction control, I felt very safe. However, the stock footpegs are soooo slippery when wet. I could barely keep my feet on them while encoutering bumps... It might be a combinaison of my boot + metal pegs that makes them slippery, I don't know. So this made me wonder if the Ebay Fz6 rubber footpegs are also slippery when wet ? Did you ride in rain with them ? If less slippery, I think I will buy them, because the stock foot pegs are just plain scary, and I MUST use this bike in all weather. Thanks in advance !

beberle Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think we got caught in the same storm system ;-) Maybe it's your boots Fred? I got hammered today as well in one of the worst thunderstorms I've ever ridden through. It's been 5yrs since my last bike... I had forgotten that lovely sensation of cold water hitting your crotch unexpectedly - I digress; my boots had great traction! And glad they did! 1st time I've had a bike w/ ABS and traction control; loved knowing they were there if needed. I've always had the opposite problem and my rubber pegs get slippery in the rain ;-) I like the aggressive cut of the stock pegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a while since I last checked underneath my boots: I think I need new boots... There is no more Rubber ! What kind of boots do you have beberle ?

beberle Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Dang Son!! I wear Magnum Stealth Force boots. Very Comfortable for most any activity. Good ankle protection, but not really a motorcycle boot. Magnum Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapuree Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Just ordered the FZ6 pegs on Ebay as well. For 12€ it seems, for once, like a nice cheap upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
