Default Wide footpegs KLX250

I have posted this before but thought I would do it again.

KLX footpegs are hard on the feet, way too narrow. I found these and they have made a huge difference riding off road. I think they were about $39 or so. The web site does not show them for 2009-2012 but if you call or email them, they do have them.

Dirt Bikes Footpegs, Motocross Foot Pegs

Other posts have said these pegs can be dangerous because they are brittle , so people are spending the extra money for the IMS footpegs.

However, these are pretty tempting. If I am reading the site correctly, they are only $10. Is there any way to test them out besides hitting them with a hammer (I think someone tried that approach)?

I've had (and hammered) those steel pegs on several dirtbikes. Never had an issue other than being heavier than stock.

I have these on both a 2012 KLX250 and a 2009 KLX250 and have ridden them HARD. Never a problem....I do lots of desert riding with lots of rocks, etc. They do have some close out models for $10, but the current KLX pegs are about $39 or maybe a bit higher. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

I bought three sets of these cheap pegs. KLX250s, KDX200 and KX100 all ridden hard and no failures so far. I paid around $10 a set at D2 moto. They are heavy, but they are cheap and should hold up on a KLX.

Thanks for the info on your experiences with these.

I didn't see any pegs for $39 on the D2moto website. I ordered the $10 pegs that are supposed to fit a 1997-2007 Kawasaki KLX 300R. I hope they fit my 2006 KLX250s.

They will fit, and your feet will be happy.

I don't recall ever seeing any of those posts.

I have had them for 3 years with no problems.
