Racing foot pedals.

[MioBikerBoyz]

I'm planning to order the Yamaha racing foot pedals and brake pedals straight from the factory when I got some time and money to spend on my Spark.

In your honest opinions, is the Yamaha brand better or an aftermarket part instead? Personally I trust in the Yamaha parts because they are safe and have warantees, unlike aftermarkets which somehow someway will let you down.

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about:

I cannot tell if thats a Yamaha brand or aftermarket, but it sure does look nice.

well Yamaha dose make a set of racing rearset. but i haven't seen it. the one you posted tony looks like a CNC product. so yes an aftermarket. i've been wanting to get a set too. but i want to get it when i have the disk brake done on the back wheel. that way all the modifacation is done at once, and not twice.

 

[clicked]

but i tink pillion is gonna hav sme problem,mayb cramp..as the rearset is pushed back...got to take pillion into account,else get the racing footrest for rider only...Better rite?

 

[CarroTT]

tat one is not yamaha lar
yamaha footrests are even more nicer and finer looking
but NO REAR FOOTREST :lol:

yamaha accesories seems to be of very high quality,
no complaints from anyone yet

 

[tsunami]

Hey guys,

here is the link from the Yamaha Thailand Website.

http://www.yamaha-motor.co.th/accessori ... .asp?pID=7

Just scroll down once the page is loaded and you will find it in the 5th row.
just click on the picture and it will open in a new window with more details.
I also can not read thai... but if i am not wrong, then the price is 2.400.-THB
I was already a while ago interested to buy them... but as CarroTT said before... NO REAR FOOTREST
and that was the reason for me to not buy them yet... even they look great and are made really nice... good quality.
I saw them when i bought my ride at the Yamaha Dealer Shop but didn't think about buying them at that time...
later then, i felt uncomfortable with the original foot rest since i got pretty long legs...
so now, as soon as i find some nice Rear Sets, i will for sure get them...

 

[tsunami]

i suggest pitsch you raise you shock first before use footress if still uncomfortable then you grab it as you have plan before...

 

[pitsch]

Maybe i should try that first...
but i like it, to feel the bodyweight on my arms...
had the same on my GSX-R750 years back...
gives me personally a better feeling on the road for the front tyre...
maybe i'm weired... dun no... maybe i should modify my whole bike... to fit my 186cm and 86kg

2,400 is inexpensive for a good quality Yamaha part. I have the brochure at home which I can easily just go into the dealership in town and tell them what I want. Pay a diposit and wait for their phone call in a weeks time or less to go pickup any part I want.

I have access to all those parts that pitsch had posted, thanks for the link dude. Only problem is, most of those parts aren't customized to the limit, except the rear chain guard, the tailpipe support link and the racing pedals which are the only decent looking parts so far.

I ride alone all the time and never allow others to sit shotgun with me, so rear foot rests aren't a problem. Wanna get one of those racing seats like the Yellow Rossi T135 modified bike. Get a tank gover for the gas in the rear like that bike as well...looks sweet!

 

[goff_d_p]

hey tony, can you send me a brochure like what you have, i'll give you my address. but you will neet to translate the price for me. ok? i'm looking for things that i can't find. brochures make it easy!

 

[MioBikerBoyz]

Sure no problem. I'll PM you now for the address. But prices might not be the same in the Philipines as they are in Thailand.

 

[khai2717]

hey, my friend has n x1.. n when he changed to racing footpeg, his rear brake dont work properly due to the construction of the footpeg to the rear drum brake.. so i just wana know will racing footpegs work fine with t135 drum brakes or is there gona b same problems like my frens x1?

 

[surkrew]

shouldn't be a problem dude... coz i've installed on mine and it works jus fine...

 

[MioBikerBoyz]

Make sure it's installed accurately and not by some incopetent mechanic. I'm sure you can do it yourself and constant testing to make sure it works fine.

 

[khai2717]

i'm very unsure of this... alot of the mechanics here say that the existence of racing footrest, is for nothing but racing... they say in cub races, racers dont really use the rear brakes, more of the front.. argh.. its really depressing, cos the footrest look so damn good... feels good too.. after 5k+km on standard footrest, i feel old... argh!!!!!

 

[Ah_Hia]

Bro since u Thailand, why not order from Nui Racing Project ?
They are based in Bangkok.
They make one of the best quality footrests.

Call @ 028744185
They are located at Rajaburana,Bkk.

 

[wangyo]

well that one is not a yamaha racing set. Coz mine is like this...

 

[MioBikerBoyz]

I ride without a hand clutch so it would be difficult to shift, but I guess I could weld on another bracket for shifting down with the heels with one of those aftermarkets from Yamaha or Nui.

 

[rooster]

why not use a racing footrest that doesnt have shift extension / linkage?? dont thai have it??
the shifter is bolted straight to the engine..not by some linkage like other racing footrest..
with this you gonna have to lift the shifter for shifting up and press the shiter to shift down..its the opposite to the stock shifter movement..

 

[miobikerboys]

You could always attach an extra rest for the back like the stock has when you want to shift down, kick back pedal on the backstep racing set, if y'all know what I mean...
