Default KLX250S Lower pegs?

Larger pegs is one of the mods I have left to do... have yet to find a lower option that would be a nice tweak to the standing position ergos. Is there anything out there that's .75-1.5" lower? If not I'll probably just go with the pivot pegs and call it good.

TIA

My goodness!...if I had pegs that were 1.5" lower, I'd be going over the bars in some terrain.

Darn sure! But some don't ride where you do!

LIke I've posted before I've moved mine back(wards) about 2 inches, but not down. It made a world of difference in the standing ergos. But now since I'm shoved backwards on the bike the front end tends to understeer, push a bit, in turns. I could raise the forks in the clamps a bit but it doesn't bug me that much.

Nice work. I'm not sure further back is what I want for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I was only thinking lower because it worked out nice on the DR, but after reading some I'm not sure it would be the way to go on this critter.

I have already rolled the bars (pro taper cr-hi) forward and tweaked my controls primarily for standing ergos. Next step maybe risers, but then it seems I have to mess with the front brake line too. At zero fork compression I really don't have anything left in the front line travel to work with....

They all link to Kawasaki forum threads since the search have been made within the Kawasaki KLX250 forum threads.

You can loosen the brake line at the fork guard down by the caliper. Then where it is "Hooked" by the plastic that is protruding from the guard, move it up. It will give you a few inches.

You need to work on your skilz. I can do it pretty well with the pegs where they are.
