buzzy pegs!

Recommended Posts

My Tracer GT gets the buzzy pegs at high rpms. I know its not Harley bad, but wanted to see how some rubber covered pegs might help. Anyone know where I might find some? I've seen a video with Tracer accessories that show them, but no link. Thanks!

Adventure-type wider foot pegs make your ride more comfortable on...

I used these with no problem mounting them. Do one side at a time as the springs are a different twist for left and right. The only difference is the length of the feeler that comes with kit. The peg extension that will rub the ground first before undercarriage. I drilled and tapped each peg to use stock feelers. The geometry of these new pegs must be different as I used to only occasionally rub the pegs and now rub them quite a lot. Tells me that somehow they are lower in position the stock.

You haven't felt buzzy until you've ridden the BMW S1000XR. A couple of years ago, I was ready to buy until I rode it, after a 2 hour test ride, my hands and feet were tingling for quite a while after I got off the bike. The Tracer is nothing by comparison, but each person has their own level of tolerance for vibrations.

I had the identical experience with the one I rode back in 2016.  I understand that the newer ones are supposed to be significantly improved... I would hope so, since it was really intrusive to me.  For reference, I’m a huge fan of big four-stroke singles, so a bit of the paint shaker dynamic typically doesn’t bother me.  

To the original question, I know many have had good luck fitting the rubber covered pegs from an FJR.  I haven’t modified the pegs on my FJ - other than removing those ridiculous peg feelers - so can’t offer a direct opinion.  For me the FJ has the right amount of character (mechanically busy, but not intrusive), and I would expect the GT to be similar.

I know when I added my MPG Rearset, peg buzz almost disappeared. Stock never really was that bad, but big difference when I added the MPGs.

The Yamaha adventure foot pegs, do they come complete with fixing pins and springs as it doesn't say on the website

I have had the adventure pegs pictured above for almost 3 years.  While I don't remember if I used the original pins and springs or it came with new parts, I do know for a fact that I didn't have to buy anything extra to make them work.  It was a 5-10 minute swap.

I seem to remember one side being an easy swap and having to grind the head off the pin on the other side.

I'll be ordering my Adventure pegs in a couple of weeks. Pricey, but I like the piece of mind that OEM parts sometimes give. As far as I can tell, they will work on my '15...I hope anyways!

Yes, I installed them on a 2015 model.
