keychange Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 A while back I fitted a pair of wide foot pegs to both my bikes but on the TLR200 the kickstart hits the peg - it wasn't an issue as the peg was pretty tight and would stick in the fold back position out of the way. Downside was every time the peg hit an object it would stick and my foot would then be flailing around looking for the folded peg. So I oiled the springs and now the pegs are flicking back with alacrity - but now the bloody kickstart hits the peg. I have a 3 inch piece of number 8 fencing wire that can be hooked onto the peg to hold it but it is very clumsy and tedious as it has to be engaged by hand and that isn't always convenient. Idea's anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig10 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Happened when I changed the pegs on my Scorpa 125, I put a couple of weld spots on the bottom inside face of the peg so it sits slightly angled up, works fine and you don't notice it when riding.

gazzaecowarrior Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 The same happened with my TY175 when I fitted the Sammy Miller pegs which were wider. I just took the spring out of the peg on the kickstart side and problem solved. When you start it just lean the bike slightly to keep the peg up and then when it's started, flick the peg down. Worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I use a piece of inner tube tied to the frame. Fold the peg up and slip the rubber band around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idea's anyone You can purchase rearset pegs here in the U.S. that may help, if you used standard trials pattern pegs. https://secure.rypusa.com/prodpage.cfm?cat_selected=116&product_selected=142&startrow=9 Edited May 31, 2011 by motovita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I had the same issue with my TLR200 after putting on big pegs. I bent the kick lever so it goes out a little farther and clears the peg. The lever was held in a vise and heated red with a propane torch at the bend spot. I believe I used a long wrench as a lever arm. It took two ..or three bends. One was out to clear the peg. One was back up on the outside of the peg and there may have been a third to get the foot piece level. It works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idea's anyone if it just barley hits, bend the peg slightly, ong good smack with a mallet should do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keychange Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) I pulled the kickstart off and heated with LPG torch - a couple of bends one and then correct the angle of the foot and bingo works well and misses the peg .... the fencing wire was real pain in the A Cheers Edited August 23, 2011 by keychange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
