- In this video I show how you can fix the footpeg issue on the KTM 390 Adventure with new footpegs from Black Dog Cycle Works. The footpegs are much larger, drop down the boot surface 1/2" and level the footpegs out. These new footpegs look like a work of art and function even better. The installation of each peg took about five minutes and it was something I should have done months ago.

These pegs changed my whole riding experience… thanks for putting this video out…awesome product
just ordered a pair for my 390. thanks matt for all the great 390 adventure info!!
Thanks for the video! I'm looking at getting back into riding and the 390 is my choice. Picking up parts for a 2022 to be purchased soon, and these footpegs were just added to my list. Take care!
Was looking for something to just level the peg out, was happily surprised to see the also dropped the surface 1/2 inch! Very smart, great review!
These are great pegs, the feel is fantastic.
Matt.. Thank you for the hot tip with these pegs. I contacted Black Dog and ordered a set for my KTM 390 Adventure! Just installed today! I am impressed. Fast shipping, Transparent communication, Quick install (15 minutes for both!!!! .. 5 minutes was to find my tools!) Took a quick ride and felt so much better! These are a must do upgrade for anyone whom is 6' ish. Spot on with your video! Thank you! #blackdogcycleworks #KTM390Adventure.
Same here sir, not ordered one yet. But had to discuss with community. Being 5.8" and little more inseam height. My knees pain like hell after riding for 300+ km. What was your experience parallel to this? Would be helpful for decision. 😄
Just got these added to my 2021 KTM 390 ADV… thanks to you Matt!👊🏽
Nice video. Considering this has been an issue with the KTM since it was launched, I'm surprised KTM have not fixed this themselves. Still, good to know there are options out there.
Very good Matt. Black Dog is a great outfit and has all kinds of cool stuff for the KTM's. I'm very amazed at how well this bike has worked out for you. It seems to have opened up a whole new confidence in your riding pleasure when off the pavement.
This bike certainly has made riding offroad so much better. When I rode my R1200GS on White Rim I was nervous and anxious nearly the entire time. I never feel that way on this bike. I am confident I can get myself out of trouble. I knew that wasn't true on the GS.
Thank you so much buddy! I bought mine used without any kind of intruction. For the install, It's pretty straight forward BUT I wasn't able to figure how to install the spring: I was trying to use the spring hole as the oem spring do. I soon realized that that's wasn,t going to happen, I did a little research and you gave me in your vid the exact thing I was missing. So, again, thanks alot!
I am glad to hear this was useful. Thanks for letting me know.
Great video of a good looking product will be getting a set on my 390....just clocked up 23000kms on my bike here in Oz and loving the KTM
You're really ripping it on your 390 Adv. Well done.
I just got the black dog pegs, extremely easy install with the included tool. I love them!
Fantastic upgrade!
Thanks Matt. Footpegs are definately something I want to address. Timely video on the Black dogs. Seems like they will address all my little issues with foot ergo's and controls.
Glad this was helpful. These are pretty good pegs.
Nice video, thanks mate. Think I'll pick a set of these up when I order the skid plate ;)
Hey Matt .yes i have just bought my ktm390 , and im looking at doing a few mods , ill look these up to see if i can get them in Australia . cheers , keep the vids coming .. cheers Steve/Australia
Here is a link to a video with all the mods I have made, if you havent seen it. th-cam.com/video/zZFMQFagChk/w-d-xo.html
You will live the bike. SW Motech also makes a footpeg for this bike if you cant get the BDCW peg.
I just bought the sw-motech evo footpeg kit, that has different pegs, flattens them , and lets you position the pegs up to 15mm lower and/or up to 7.5mm forward or back. This video has been invaluable in confirming that it's just a matter of pulling that cotter pin to remove the stock pegs. There are hero blobs in the sw-motech kit, and that will do as an alternative to your centring pin that you used, so hopefully I won't be screaming and kicking the bike in frustration. Thanks.
Let me know what you think of those pegs.
@@advmatt Will do.
Going to flat pegs was my first modification. In my case I went with the Rival Components' offering. While flat they are not lowered (UPDATE: I checked on the Rival site and they indicate they lower by 3/8"). In my case I felt the proper adjustment of the brake pedal was limited somewhat given the new geometry, and for my solution I went with a two-level brake step plate from Alt Rider, (SW-Motech has a nice one now as well). Very helpful when standing. The lower level of the Black Dog pegs may mitigate the need for that somewhat.
Yep, with the BDCW's pegs there is no need for a brake riser. That pegs feel so much better. I didnt know about the pegs you went with. I might have used them, but the BDCW pegs are pretty good.
@@advmatt the Rival Components pegs look pretty much the same in terms of size and shape. The Rival site says they lower 3/8" so I was mistaken about that. Run about $200 last I looked. I'm sure either are acceptable options; definitely an improvement!
Ohhh Matt,....that brings memories when you lost the GoPro,....LOL,...I see a pattern here, 😂🥴! Hey, that cabin was sweet!! Looks like it was a great adventure! 👌👍✌️
It was certainly memorable.
Thank you yr info. I ordered its.
👎 I ride an Africa Twin and still watch your KTM video. haha
Thanks for your vids. I have been watching most all your 390 content because I'm really trying to find a bike I can unicorn for me. Your unicorn video was funny but the exhaust being exposed was an editing error :) I know you have had the big GS so you have seen the best of the best for road. How would you rate the 390 for long hwy? I want something I can travel several states on. I was really thinking the 690 was the ticket but have been told it's really a bad hwy bike. Thinking if the 390 can do the off-road it may work. Thanks for your thoughts
The exhaust was hot and I needed to get the filming done. I do long rides on the 390 Adv with problems. I am actually in Baja right now on my way to La Paz. It cruises really well down the road and is comfortable for me. With an Atlas throttle lock you are good to go. I have done 800 miles in 3 days. The bike perfectly suited to do this.
Great video- thanks for posting. I have a question about the Tusk panniers- is the one above the exhaust touching it? Does heat have any effect?
I just bought these, it is slightly touching, I need to get a heat shield. I haven't used them on a trip yet but I am happy with the construction and the price.
@@advmatt thanks! I have them too and really like the construction and quality. Haven't taken it on any long trips so was wondering if it was a bother to someone else. What heat shield? The tusk one for exhuasts?
@@pegumoto I am going on a long trip in a few weeks so I will see how they work. I will probably get the Tusk heat shield.
I mostly ride on the street. I get that you would want the pegs level for standing in the dirt, but does leveling the pegs have any impact on your street riding position? Does it change the position or comfort of your positioning when seated for long periods? Access to break and shift? It is an adventure bike, so we are trying to optimize for both on and off-road.
The gear shift lever and rear brake position relative to the pegs changed. I adjusted the gear shift down a bit. The brake lever doesnt have any adjustment. While riding on the road I didnt notice any significant difference in comfort. The rear brake was easier to engage. Keep in mind I am used to riding bikes with level pegs. The improved position for standing was the most notable difference.
I'm still researching this: which pegs (Black Dog, Pivot, etc) lower the foot peg position the most for us tall riders?
The BDCW'S pegs drop 1/2". SW-Motech makes a peg that has multiple positions which can also drop 1/2". I dont know about any others.
Matt do you have to push your handlebars back now? When standing I always feel like I’m falling forward when standing I’m 5-11
No, I dont think so, my position on the bike felt much more neutral and I didnt feel like I was bending over to reach the bars. The neutral feeling was immediate and noticeable, for me anyway.
Hello mate, what about crash bars for 390 Adv? Do you have any and witch model should you put on your bike?
Thank's.
I have the KTM crash bars that came on the bike here in the States. I havent looked for any alternatives so I dont know what else is out there. The KTM crashbars seem okay so far.
Thanks to share I’m looking also for this pegs for my ktm. Question the peg is only lower or also move it back or forward? I have small issue that I size 12 boot size and my boot touch the passenger pegs, so if it also move back will increase than problem. Thanks
These new pegs move back a small amount, maybe half an inch or around 12mm. It's not a lot and I really didn't notice that.
Which boots are those Matt? Looks like you can actually walk in them.
Oneal motocross boots, inexpensive. Dont remember the model.
Hi Matt - in this video, what tank bag are you using & why did you switch to the Tusk tank bag?
The first tank bag I put on this bike was the Tusk tank bag you have seen. I had to return it under warranty. While I was waiting for it to be returned I picked up a Cortech tank bag at a descent price because it had been discontinued. I needed this bag for my trip to Baja and the Tusk bag had not been returned yet. I like how the Tusk bag fits on the tank better than the Cortech bag so I switched back.
Hey Matt have you noticed any issues with dragging the pegs on road?
No, I dont ride that fast or lean that hard. Since I am always running knobby tires I try not to push them to limits, so I have never drug a footpeg.
Didn't you adjust the level of the brake and shifter levers?
I rode it for awhile and ended up adjusting the shift lever down a little. The brake pedal was in a perfect position for me, especially offroad, so left it.
I'm thinking about buying a 390 adventure but have heard that many owners are having a lot of issues with poor factory QC where bolts are cross threaded and/or partially striped right from the factory. What has your experience been? TIA
That has not been my experience. Some of the bolts had excessive lock tight making them really hard to remove but overall, I haven't had any quality issues. I am only one bike owner, but for me, the experience has been good.
I wish they had rubber inserts for riding in the city
Try the SW Motech Evo footpegs. They are adjustable and have rubber inserts.
