Saved my life with the RH side break bolt tip to release. Tks mate.
Thanks dude. This vid helped me out today, specifically the hint for moving the brake pedal out of the way so that the pin could be removed.
Happy to hear you got them installed.
Awesome pegs...easy and secure to rest my backside. Thanks for the idea.
Another great video, keep up the good work !!!
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Just did an install on these foot pegs. I love them. The springs were a little tricky. I ended up using zip ties to keep the spring compressed. Worked great. The pin just slipped right in. Then cut the zip tie when it was put back together. The whole thing took 5 minutes. Getting the cotter pin out was the hardest thing.
Josh, pick yourself up an entire box of cotter pins at Harbor Freight for about $5. Zip ties is a good idea. I normally just use a skinny screwdriver to get everything aligned.
Excellent install! Those IMS foot pegs are nice, I bet you can set your lunch tray on that foot peg. Got the sticker, real nice, thank you.
Thanks Gus! Also, glad your sticker arrived.
That's some quality foot pegs!
While pricey...they are nice.
Snapped my oversized foot pegs off, mounting bolts snapped. Heard it’s happened to a few 1090 1190 and 1290 when used hard off road. Have swapped mine to Carapak shorter stronger ones.
$200+! i think i found the cure for my foot peg envy lol
Yeah...I didn't look up the actual cost until later.
hi buddy, Any problem hitting your leg with the peg? Same bike, I'm 6' and 12 boots size. Looking for better pegs with more space when standing up in offroad
and curios about any issue with lean angle.
thanks my friend.
Just heard one of the owners of IMS on the Adventure Rider Radio podcast. They have a really good design and production philosophy. The claim is that despite their size you do not loose any lean angle. They do look huge but may be nice for my size 13 feet!
I haven't scraped them yet and they are super comfortable. I know what you mean on the 13 feet, I'm not far behind with a size 12. I haven't listened to that episode yet but I am subscribed to that podcast.
Another well constructed and informative video . Personally I spend most of my miles on tarmac enjoying the awesome engine , so don't think I'd fit a set .
Was wondering if you intend on replacing the standard exhaust system , I've upgraded to the wings "shorty" which I have been very impressed with !
Keep up your great channel , and roll on warmer days 👍
Thanks Lawrence. I'm going to give these pegs a shot for awhile. If I find I'm grinding them in the turns (not leaning too hard with the colder road temps), I may give them away to a subscriber at some point. As for the exhaust, I'm planning to stay stock. I'm considering a Rottweiler air box in the future though. Is your new exhaust much louder than stock?
2 Wheeled Rider Hi , with the wings exhaust you get 2 removable baffles .Each baffle gives you a different level of noise , plus you can even run without any baffle to get the max effect ! .
I prefer to run the mid system which gives a decent volume without being obtrusive both to your eardrums or your neighbours . The build quality is excellent and being shorter than stock it gives both a weight saving and in my opinion a better style . Win , Win !!
Hope this is useful to yourself and your subscribers .
Thanks! Appreciate the info. I've seen guys mention it on the ADV forum but your explanation clears some things up.
Ground clearance?
Man if the 1290 & 1090 pegs are the same size, I’m baffled anyone could think the factory pegs are a reasonable size. They’re tiny. Even sitting they’re 1” narrower then my boot. While standing I can barely get 2 toes on them.
I haven’t checked the 1090 pegs. I’ll have to look next time.
Hold on buddy your always a step ahead of me . Wish I could put them new pegs on my 2012 ninja 1000. Im afraid they don't make them yet.
Although your last video, you kind of got really lucky hooking up the GPS, them hot leads were already there. Some guys get all the luck no wonder your making these video before I get my first hook connected in Thats in 100degree heat!. I can't go direct to battery because I need the gps to shut off when key turn off.
LOL, I'm not sure I'd call it lucky...KTM just had the foresight to include those hot leads. That said, I get what you're saying. If they didn't have the hot leads available to plug in, I agree, I would hook them up to the accessory so it only worked when the switch was turned on. If you have the service manual, I'm sure you'll be able to get it hooked up that way.
For the spring I used stainless wire with aviation safety wire pliers. Twist it till the spring is closed. Install the peg then cut the wire
Pretty good idea. We just put a pair on my buddy's Super Tenere last night and they went on super easy (springs were a bit weak).
Hey mate I've got the 1290 Super Adventure T like yours, where can I get a pair of this IMS foot pegs in Melbourne Australia ever site I look at does not mention they fit the KTM 1290 Super Adventure?
The IMS ADV I or ADV II pegs listed for KTM adventure bikes should fit any KTM adventure bike model.
So comments below reference the "loss of lean angle"... Sure, I know some is lost to these IMS pegs - but how much? Not so significant or only at bonkers curve carving? Did they have any real affect on your riding style?
+Preston Warren basically none. I’ve taken the TA2 rear tire from edge to edge & have yet to scrape them.
Nice👍🏻
Hey, Now that it's been six months since you put the pegs on- are they still awesome?
+Mr Wobbleknocker yep! They're still on the bike with no plans to replace them.
Too bad you couldn’t see the actual installment of the pegs. Would have been interesting to see what you actually did with the spring. I have ordered ktm powerparts footpegs that I’m about to install. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it right. Any good tips before I get started?
Insert a Phillips (or flat bit but I prefer a Phillips) screwdriver in the from the bottom through the mount/peg/spring/peg/mount. Use a skinnier screw driver than that of the pin so it'll make it easier to get everything lined up. Then "chase" the screwdriver back through with the pin. Just make sure to put on some safety glasses because sometimes that spring will go flying no matter how careful you are.
2 Wheeled Rider Thanks for your quick reply! I’m always hesitant when it comes to these types of trickier smaller installments since I lack patience and special tools. I don’t have any safety goggles or anything similar, but I’ll see what I can do. And again, thanks for your reply and an awesome channel!
2 Wheeled Rider oh, and one other thing. The pin that you meddled with in the beginning, it looked like you twisted it in some way. Do you re-use that one later?
It's a cotter pin. You can reuse it or put in a new one. You can buy 500+ cotter pins at Harbor Freight for about $5. As for safety glasses, a pair of sunglasses or riding goggles will work as well. Hell, you could even wear your helmet.
Any thoughts on aftermarket pegs for the passenger?
Funny you ask, Kristen was wondering the same thing. Haven't found a solution yet but plan to look into it a little further when we get back from our trip.
You can slide the rubber part of the footpeg from a Honda fury, much bigger surface area, I used rtv for extra security
They look very nice, but i would scrape them back to the original size ^^ nothing for me
Definitely better suited for off road use.
i want these so bad but......my kickstart would slam um
They may take a good chunk out of your skin, too.
Goodbye leaning angles :D
Yeah...and Hello sparks!
Damn $225 for those foot pegs, do they give a foot massage too?
The price does seem high but then what I price highway pegs they're just as much.
@@2WR I bought a black widow set that included a heel-toe shifter for my Road King for 175 and those pegs are larger than IMS! I can't justify that kind of coin for pegs alone.
They remind me off a bear trap....
If those foot peg springs were a little heavier you could probably turn them into one.
These don't seem like a good choice if you ever plan on using your bike as an adventure bike...Meaning off road use. Those things are huge!
They're a great choice for off road since you can stand up on them all day long. Not so great of street use due to the loss of lean angle.
That would be another way to think it through...lol. Getting a 2nd pair for your wife? hahaha
Hell, the damn things are wide enough I think we can both fit our feet on them :)
$200+ for footpegs... man we're in the wrong business.
no kidding
