I own the Rath 44 series nerfs. They do lower the foot peg. I don't know the exact measurement, but what I picture in my head would be 1/2-1." I'll try to go out to the barn tonight and measure the stock foot pegs as compared to the Rath.

I am 6'4" with a 34" inseam and find the Raths a bit more comfortable than stock peg location. I use the Monster pegs & love them.

 

Sounds great. Appreciate the help. My GYTR nerfs lower it a little but not back at all. I had the rath with the monsters on my ktm and loved them. I'm hoping they did like the ktm and moved the pegs down and back with the yfz450r

 

Let us know what you find out..

 

Yea I want nerfs with lowered and back relocation of the pegs also! I'm in the market for some right now as I'm doin my winter rebuild...

 

I forgot to take the measurements. I wrote a note to check tonight. Sorry for the delay.

 

Okay. I remembered this time. The Rath 44 Series are 1/2" lower than stock. The measurement was from the horizontal center line of the mounting holes (foot peg to the frame) to the top of the foot peg. Rath's foot pegs are 3/16", at the most, back. Also, Rath's foot pegs are 1/2" narrower. The stock pegs are 2-1/2" and Rath's measure 2".

I had to change my riding style from my Achilles rupture this March, but I find the 44 series to be very comfortable & the Monster Pegs help in the turns. I feel more stable being able to throw my leg farther out on the nerf. Just my $0.02. Hope it helps.

 

The GYTR nerfs drop the pegs 1 1/4" on the lowest settings. I'm 6'2" and that was the lowest I could find.

 

Is that on the R? Or just the 450?

 

Well Guys, I really appreciate all the help and advice on this. So my gytrs are as low as it gets for the R? I guess I just need to adjust to a squatter bike. I am just going to make the pegs wider like the rath myself and weld them up.

 

The reason your R feels cramped probably has more to do with the seat height being lower than the older YFZ? A taller seat would fix the issue for you. Another option is +1 steering stem. Most of those are pushed forward an inch as well.

You have to be very careful in foot peg placement because it effects all handling characteristics of the bike. Especially in the air. I would think that you would only move the pegs back if the bike is traditionally nose heavy, which I doubt the YFZR is. JMO

Those GYTR nerfs have the pegs super low. A friend of mine has them on his bike and they droop a little. The nerfs dont curve up toward the outside like most aftermarket nerfs do so they tend to drag in deeper rutted tracks. Just some things i've noticed.

 

If the seat on my YFZR was taller, it would be god awful uncomfortable. The cramped feeling comes from the position of the stock pegs and the handlebars. I already added the GYTR nerfs that allowed me to lower the pegs 1 1/4". That alone made a difference in the cramped feeling. Now I will add a +2 stem and the bike will be set damn near perfect for me.

 

A huge help with mine was doing a plus 1 forward and +1 taller

 

I only have the stock stem, but I put the bars in the +1 forward slots and it made a big difference. I am hoping to go to a +1+1 (like Ctown208). That would be ideal for me.

 

What brand stem has the +1 forward adjustment?

 

Lonestar makes a super nice one

 

If you call any company they would (should) make them in +1+1. JB has made them +1+1, Walsh, etc. Websites don't always do a company justice. It's worth a call.

 

Agreed, Houser won't tho.. Lol

 

Yea I need +2+1 an lsr r the only ones who I know they make it
