The footpeg installation / adjustment is extremely simple and one can do it at home with basic tool set.

Dipolog tower: There is no need to order a different sized gear rod, simply remove the bolt from the rod end elbow that is attached to the gear spindal and that elbow will come off (may need flat ended screwdriver in the split to prize open). You can then twist the elbow clockwise/anticlockwise (depending if lengthening/shortnening) and re-attach onto the gear spindal. Hope this helps

When changing foot peg locations there is not enough adjustment in the rod. You need different rods for different peg locations. You can adjust the height of the shift lever by making rod adjustments.

@TLYRIDER3 жыл бұрын
The bike when you purchase new from showroom they can set it up for Extended Reach, Mid Reach or Reduced Reach which involves different kind of Handle bar, Seat and foot pegs length on both sides. I bought it used so it came with extended reach default set up ( Handlebar, Seat and Footpegs), since I am 5’7 I felt the extended reach was too far for me for a comfortable ride. So I decided to move just the foot pegs position to a reduced reach and in order to do that I just had to order the rod on one side (for gear) for $12 or so. If I want to I could switch the seat and handlebar (order those separately), but I choose not to as the extended reach seats are more comfortable than the mid reach or reduce reach and Handle bar I was not planning to fiddle around anyway.

Nicely explained video. Thanks @TLY RIDER. My bike's present setting is at mid reach seat, short reach foot peg on both shifter and brake sides. I am 5' 7". I am comfortable in the present setting. I wanted to try out mid reach foot peg positions. As I am of the same height as you, what do you think? Will the mid reach foot pegs be comfortable for our height? My inseam length is 32 inch. .. Can you please advise if I should go for mid reach foot pegs? Thanks in advance.
@TLYRIDER3 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for the positive shout out. I kept the extended reach seat as is because that I believe has extra gel for the plush, since you have the extended reach seat you can move the foot peg little farther and you should be alright because the seat anyway pushes you forward a little bit. Also all the rods to do the mod is not that expensive so no harm in trying out.

Or say you go out for a ride you park up and some nob head knocks your bike over and the stand breaks, your day is over simply because you can't park the bike anymore, with a main stand you could continue the day and fix the other stand later. So many reasons to have a main stand.
