Just a preference thing I guess, but I’m curious where people fall. On my gen1 KLR I had stock foot pegs, and I liked them because they were narrower, and sort of “locked in” to the arch on my boot when I was standing.
My Gen2 KLR and now my KTM both have wider pegs, I know thats better for tarmac, and they seem to have plenty of bite, but I never quite got used to it.
Anyone else feel similar? Just looking for some input before I “downgrade”
I switched to toothy all metal footpegs on my KLR largely because of the Common Wisdom being parroted everywhere about the stock pegs being “slippery” or “inadequate.” Honestly, I never found the stock pegs to be a problem.
I do like that the aftermarket metal pegs I have now don’t have a rubber thingy on them that I have to worry about wearing out. But just bear in mind that aftermarket pegs will surely have a slightly different height than your stock ones which will inevitably involve dicking with your shifter and rear brake pedal height which is an extra layer of annoyance.
I never had an issue either! My gen2 KLR came with upgraded pegs (previous owner farkled everything, in the good way), and I just never liked them as much.
