mcman56 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Is it possible to have wide pegs and not have to lift the peg for kick starting? Any pictures? One company advertises them on line but the pictures do not look like the 175 in my garage, maybe it is a 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 175 and 250 engines are very different,the kickstart shaft is near the top of the gearbox on the 250, near the bottom on the 175.

lineaway Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 There was a trail kit as some models were sold as trail bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidie Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I have the same issue on my Ty80b. I don't think you can have long pegs without them interfering. You might be able to move the pegs in front of the starter, but I just fold up the peg and then start it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 The kickstart will clear the pegs with the TYOffroad kit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Some TY175 models have the sidestand mount on the left side footpeg bracket, so if you use aftermarket footpeg mounts on that model you lose the sidestand. As far as the aftermarket footpegs kits are concerned, the are designed to fit all TY175 models. There are also quite a few other frame differences between the two types of TY175 frame, but I suspect you are only asking about differences that affect using an aftermarket footpeg kit.

If it is the TY offroad website photos you are talking about, the frame in those photos is a modified TY175 frame. It has the swingarm pivot location moved forwards of the frame upright so it does look a lot different to standard in that part of the frame.

scifi Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I don't know why you want to use anything but the original footrests. Way back when, we all used to shorten our fixed footrests so that they cleared rocks easier, we soon got used to the shorter pegs. If the Kickstart clouts the footrest, a long scaffold tube and a big vice is all you nee to give your kickstart shaft what-ever bend you require for clearance.
