Hey Kyle if you have enough space to do so, when putting the pin back into the peg, take a screw driver and push it in from the bottom to hold the peg in place against the spring wanting to push it out. Then, just pull it out while pushing the pin down and it will keep everything in place. Let the pin chase the screw driver. Love your videos man.
Nice tip for making the job a little easier is to cable tie the spring in the compressed position before removing it, that way reassembly takes a fraction of the time. Let us know how well those warp 9's last.
Thank you for your how to video. I have never installed a foot peg before and your video helped me install mine on my new Beta yesterday. I do hate that spring...and since I'm not muscular like you, I just used a couple of allen wrenches. I used one smaller allen wrench and inserted through the opening where the pin would enter...the smaller sized wrench would give me leverage to align the holes. Then I would insert a larger allen wrench on the opposite side as I guided the smaller wrench out at the same time. I then inserted the pin in the proper side as I guided the larger allen wrench out...and boom...done.
I've been riding since 1983 with some gaps in there as well and I've never broke a foot peg but I ride more motocross style than enduro. Enduro riders put themselves in a lot more situations where breaking a peg might occur. But I bought a used bike with Tusk pegs on them and while I love Tusk products these pegs are so dam sharp. One of the 1st times I kick started my bike my boot hit the peg and ripped like an inch of the sole of my boot. Putting a pair of stock pegs on my bike today. I don't race so I don't need all that boot grip.
Just had a "get off" on my new yz250x. Bikes perfect except for the smashe left foot peg and bent handlebars haha. I was like noooooooo it's so new!!...as I was eating dirt haha. Great channel man. I just enjoy hearing about dirt bikes.
Gonna order me a set of warp 9 footpegs for my 2006 ya 85 there over size with permanent teeth they come in black and don't never have to replace the cleats that come out on cheap pegs Amazon got the warp 9 over size permanent teeth nothing to ever replace only 110 dollars free shipping great video
Great video,just ordered the warp 9's myself,looking forward to racing the 2016 Harescrambles up here in New England with them on my 2014 ktm 250xcw,,keep the videos coming,there very helpful! thanks man.
Great job luv your new footpegs what size cutter pin do I need to by a lowes please let me no thanks for all the great information mika Holden out of north Carolina said that
Hey Bud, I am trying to install the ACERBIS foot pegs on a CRF70 for my son. What a pain in the ass with the springs. Watching you, I noticed the small end off the spring goes inside the peg which I though was the way also, but the guy I bought it from said it sits on top. I tried both way and still having issues. I will try again when I get home, but gave up a few times. I can build a whole Bike, but can't figure these Pegs out. LOL...Thanks
If you install the pin the wrong way around (like you accidentally did at the beginning) with the cotter pin at the top and front of the peg, it's less likely to get damaged by rocks etc and the cotter pin is also easier to remove in the future...and a touch of grease never hurts ;)
Another thing you could do is use a screwdriver to line the footpeg up and pin it in and then as you slide the pin in slide the screwdriver out.. Imo just a friendly tip if you struggle with the footpeg :)
very nice video, one thing I recommend to all viewers is to stay AWAY from tusk perches. they're super cheap. I cracked one when tightening the lever down once. around 8 foot pounds cracked it.
Bravo. This was causing all sorts of profanity from the garage. Lizzard brain said 'go to youtube...somebody fingered this out'. Job done in 10 minutes without drawing blood.
Tory Wilson Not a bad idea. The only issue is that the cotter pins tend to like to bend right by the pin they are going through, so they need to be straightened there to be pulled out of the hole they are in. Either way, new cotter pins each time save you from a lot of headache, you know?
So I've have been looking all over on how to send you a message, but I cant find out how, so I'll just post a comment and see if you get it. I just bought a KTM 300 XCW six days edition 2014, its a sweet bike but I'm still getting used to it and learning it. I used to ride CRF 450's. I actually went with this bike due to your videos about them, and other research and studying. I wanted to tell you that I live pretty close to you, well used to i just moved from Saratoga down to Mona Utah, I work for Saratoga Springs Fire Dept part time though so I'm there quite a bit. I actually can tell where you live about just from your videos. I wanted to write you and possibly go riding with you guys, I'm always looking for more people to ride with, when your older with kids and families not all your buddies have bikes anymore. Hopefully this doesn't sound crazy. Either write me back by replying or I guess I could put my email that wold better than my phone number on a public site, its elderlargo@hotmail.com, my name is Spencer Long. By the way great channel and great videos I've watched them all, learned a lot.

This is awesome...struggled tonight with the springs and this tip worked perfect. Thanks!
I see that you posted this video 5 years ago but it shure helped me out today. I kept messing up with the darn spring. Lol

Let us know how well those warp 9's last.
shabsZA and the cable tie doesn't break? Cool trick if I can make that work!
Nope it doesnt, give it a bash and let us know :)
Second kind of cool, like the TNP reference. I'm learning a lot from you. thanks for all the vids, keep up the good work.

great video, love how you are showing us which way to put the pin back in! 😀
I've never broken a foot Peg and I've been riding for 23 years off and on. I've also never had aluminum footpegs and that's probably why.

Great channel man. I just enjoy hearing about dirt bikes.
The 1st wreck on a new dirt bike is the worst. You know it's gonna happen but you want to keep the streak going as long as you can.

+tmlpony Glad to hear you are getting some good out of them.
“Don’t Let the Spring Beat Ya up 🤬” . best advice 💪🏽😂
Is the spring in backwards? the hook is supposed to go over the peg and the straight part goes against the frame.
Your channel helps so much
Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for.
+blaxploitation You are welcome.
love the tech vids man! next time you do a top end you should record it!
+Nate Bennett 10-4.
Good tip to grab cotter pins....u saved me some frustration hahahaha just installed my husky blues :)
Great job luv your new footpegs what size cutter pin do I need to by a lowes please let me no thanks for all the great information mika Holden out of north Carolina said that

Lube those Springs!👌🏽🇺🇸
It’s actually how the husky comes stock.
Another thing you could do is use a screwdriver to line the footpeg up and pin it in and then as you slide the pin in slide the screwdriver out.. Imo just a friendly tip if you struggle with the footpeg :)
very nice video, one thing I recommend to all viewers is to stay AWAY from tusk perches. they're super cheap. I cracked one when tightening the lever down once. around 8 foot pounds cracked it.
my foot pegs rotate backwards and forwards. Makes it quite easy to shift too!
i also came off a crf450 with tusk pegs now i just bought a 2013 ktm and i need pegs. How are the warp9s?
Fairplay Kyle your the man!!!!
Awesome video
Love the TNP lingo "second kind of cool"
NM Desertadventure You caught that huh?
Hi! Will these ones fit the KTM 690 SMC R ?
Any need to grease the parts before putting the new ones on? Suppose i can just WD40 them once they’re on instead?
Bravo. This was causing all sorts of profanity from the garage. Lizzard brain said 'go to youtube...somebody fingered this out'. Job done in 10 minutes without drawing blood.
Nice Citizen i rock the black Navihawk with the synthetic band. Actually broke off when I wiped out but it's survived just fine haha
+Alex Brillant Yeah, this one is 12 years old and still going strong. I'm on my 3rd or 4th band though.
Hell yeah, that means you're doin work haha!
2nd kinda cool, I like the Nutnfancy reference lol
+jegs199 Yeah, I've seen my fair share of his stuff :)
If you replace the cotter pin every time you could cut the bent parts off. It would save some time getting them out.

Did he ever respond
What about the ktm factory editions different spring design
Rally foot pegs seem to be lower than standard. How do you now lower the brake pedal
Is it bad if you put a little engine oil to lubricate the pin so it goes in a bit easier?
+shogrran No, that would be fine. It would attract dirt, but nothing a pressure washer wouldn't wash off.
What one do u like more?????
Is it possible to add footpegs for second person?
Does it fit the Yamaha wrx
That spring is 10 times harder on the new KX 450F lol
If a shop would have installed them like this i would never come back. But yea you have to ride it, so if it works.
Dude, i wouldn’t let you work on anything I own.
Lmao. Same
From factory they come how you did it “wrong”
I put string in a cotter pin and pill it out…
THE PREMIUM WAY!…..😜
A little grease or wd40 would have made this job a little easier.
That spring dont look right.
2:46
What should’ve taken 5 minutes took me 20 because the guy who had the bike before me literally curled the cotter pins into a circle on both pegs
Lol
lol like a dofus lol
