I love my Yamaha FZ1-N. But the footpegs are a little bit too cose the seat for me. So I got myself a pair of adjustable footpegs from LSL! With 8 different positions they offer a fair bit of adjustment in order to find a more comfortable position for me to fold my spaghetti legs into! They also offer up an unexpected surprise on the ground clearance front!!!

Very impressive work my son. You are very skilled with tool in hand. Good to see riders that are able to work on their own bike.
PS , Stickers have arrived, very nice thanks
Cheers Phillip. I think working on your bike is a huge part of being a biker. Glad to hear you've got the stickers!
I got some for my ZX9 but couldnt get on with them because of the foot position. So i made 2 plates from 10mm aluminium to sit between the frame and the original footpeg hanger which dropped it by 30mm and put it 30mm rearwards. Its very comfy now and my foot position is exactly the same 🖒🖒
Yeah I can see how the wider position might not be ideal for all bikes/riders. Time will tell for me. Home made is almost always best, as it's literally made for you! Sadly it's also the expensive way here, as everything you make yourself has to be tested. Very pricey route to take!!
Looks good .. makes you wonder why when we are all differing heights more manufacturers don't make adjustable stuff standard
Very true. Though I've heard of a couple of factory standard adjustable parts. Yamaha had an adjustable seat on the tracer i think?
Dude you're videos are great! I found you're channel yesterday because i bought myself an fz1n last week!!! I'm from tyrol in austria and can't pick it up tomorrow because it is snowing again!!!! Daaaaamn!!! But next week i'll hit the roads! I already saw a few of you're videos and i really like them keep up the good work!!! Maybe you visit the alps in the future i could show you a few cool spots around tyrol and south tyrol :D
Thanks! That's VERY annoying! Good things come to those who wait though mate! Enjoy your new beast!
A good informative piece , answered a lot of questions I have about fitting them, cheers
My pleasure! Great to hear! Thanks!
I'm impressed enough to order these for my fz8. Worth the risk to aid my dodgy hip 👍
Hope they sort it out for you mate!
Yeah I read a review from someone with them and he had that problem with his toes not being in line with the shifter and rear brake lever. He ended up going back to stock.
It is a bit of a shame. I have a set of Raximo adjustable pegs on my Honda now. They’re far slimmer.
Best video I have seen...Exactly my needs ...thanks..great technical answer.
Happy to help Gman! Might be worth checking out the SW-Motech Evo footpegs too. I just got a set and they’re a step up from these.
That is a great solution mate. I can't believe that the original was riveted.
I'm impressed so far. I guess they just wanted to save some cash. Tightwads!
sehr gut gemachter Clip! thank you very much! ich muss das bei meiner BMW R1100R auch einbauen.
Danke! Musste die Fussrasten aber abmontieren. Waren zu breit und haben bisschen Knieschmerzen verursacht. 😖
@@AndyManCam ja, meine fußrasten sind zu hoch, ich sitze stark gefaltet wie ein Taschenmesser auf dem Bike
nice little mod for the longer journey comfort! :-) I like LSL products, had some adjustable rearsets on my old Triumph 1050 Speedtriple :-)
I'm hoping so! Nice to have some extra options!
this fz1 receives real love
Yeah it does! Best bike I ever had, so i want to make it perfect and keeps it as long as possible!! 😄
Hey Andy. Old vid, but smashing, ta.
I have mint old FZR 600 that I adore, but since a stroke (recovering brilliantly !) my right leg gets stiff after a few miles scrunched up on the somewhat sporty pegs.
Ive put an LSL peg kit on, but am presented with the quandary you had: bend the control levers, or restore the standard pegs and buy , say, a TDM 900 with a much cosier seating position.
Did you try anything else after removing the LSLs or just change bikes ?
Cheers pal
Glad to hear you’re on the mend SD. I went back to standard pegs after about 2000 miles with these on. Then i sold the bike for a Honda CB1000R. Looks similar sized, but actually slightly more room in all directions.
Very interested in these. I’ve had 2 knees replaced, sat on my bike and my right foot has a hard time going back far enough. Maybe these????
Hey Andy what happened about the jackup kit video?? great channel keep up the hard work and vids. New chain and sprockets must be due soon!!
Thanks Chris! The taller Michelin tyres delayed the jack up kit. It’s still on the list, just waiting to see how the ‚normal sized‘ Metzelers feel.
When I had an SV1000sz I tried to find some rearsets to give me more leg room. I wanted to go down and back, and they all seemed to go up and back. I ended up putting up with the discomfort until I replaced it with a Tiger 800!
Haha! Now that is an extreme footpeg upgrade!! 😂
looks very similar to the drop brackets that are popular on the Versys. At least Yamaha doesn't use a c-clip to hold the footpeg on like the Versys does.
They're available for most bikes as far as i know. I actually prefer the C-clip! You don't need anything more than a butter knife to swap your pegs out in a pinch!
Thanks I’ve just bought some, I’m 6 foot 3 on a zx6r... I expect a sports bike to be cramped but i feel like I’m riding a mini moto at times
Haha! That’s no good! I hope they help you out a bit! I had to take them off because the extra width played havoc with my old knees!
Andy Man Cam after reading a lot of review everyone says the same. Think they’ll be getting sent back
I just bought ZX6R 2015 and looking for solution to make bike more comfortable. I am 193cm tall. I am thinking Vortex rearsets or this product? What would you recommened? Thanx
Hi and thanks for video...i have similar items on my speed triple...while the pegs do rotate to a lower position..you end up with a stepped peg which is probably more dangerous than beneficial.
Sorry but replacement links are a quick fix to ride height ( i lowered my speed triple with a shock spacer from Lust Racing, UK ) ..Some bike shops i asked said they dont sell modified links or recomend them as they are dangerous ( in terms of putting out the geometry and stability of your bike)....i dont have exact explanation but ask a good racer / mechanic.
Ps i had an FZ1....excellent chassis, mediocre brakes, gutless under 5 thousand revs.
The step did actually bother me to the point where i removed the pegs in the end. Don’t forget that lowered pegs aren’t really about changing the ride height. They’re for increasing the distance between seat and feet!
Much easier on my Honda - peg held in with a split pin. Also it actually improved the existing brake position!
That’s a double win! 🏆 🏆
looks like these tutorials might turn useful since i'll be getting a fz1 fazer too. :)
Brilliant! Congratulations!
So Andy, in the "Stuff I use" menu, I don't see the GPS mentioned. In the Croatia videos it appears it might be a Garmin Zumo . What model is it, and how do you like it? I've been watching reviews of the Zumo 395LM, and it seems some people hate the user interface. "Adventure Rider" on TH-cam even sold his and replaced it with a Tomtom Rider 400.
Good spot!! Better get that fixed. Mine is just the 345LM. It has no 'curvy roads' feature and a slower CPU i think. Personally i find the curvy roads to be hugely flawed. The interface is often a bit laggy due to the slow processor but in use it works just fine. No complaints about the interface.
Except now the shift lever/brake pedal toe pegs (idk what telse o call the part your foot pushes agaist?) are effectively more inset from your feet meaning one would need to pigeon toe a bit to get the toe over them which is already trouble for me even stock but there is a downside to everything I suppose
You are quite right Dougie. I did actually bend the levers out slightly to conter this problem, which helped a bit. But overall it's not an ideal solution. I found much thinner adjustable pegs from MFW for my Honda which are far more comfortable.
Awesome, thank you!!!
My pleasure. Thanks!
Why didn't I have these for my old Honda? I couldn't even get different rearsets as it had a stupid design... Luckilly the Gixxer does have fully adjustable rearsets as stock, but I haven't played with them yet.
Great vid and productc AMC, they will certainly help a lot of people out.
I think they've been around for ages over here. No idea why I've never seen them in the UK. Damned M&P!!
Fully adjustable rear sets STOCK??
Nah I wouldn't buy them at that price . I'd rather go for rear sets tbh
But a good honest fitting review Andy 👍🏻
Each to their own. I'd rather throw the left over 300€ at carbon fibre and sticky rubber!
@@AndyManCam
If you want value for money, carbon should never be on your list, with that money, aftermarket front springs would be a better investment
Excellent detailed video - thanks!
Cheers Lee!
Nice Video again. Have you ever thought about an sprocket change ?
Thanks! Yeah sure. When it or the chain or both are worn out I'll get a new set of chain and sprockets.
Andy Man Cam Thx gor the answer! I ment a sprocket change in the Front with one tooth less to give it a little bit more punch at low rpm.
Ah gotcha! I thought you were insinuating that my sprocket wasn't shiny enough! I quite like the long gearing for cruising at the mo and tbh, compared to the Versys, the thing is a rocketship already! Maybe that'll all change though!!
Rear end jack up kits upset the seat attitude causing you to slip forwards, only slightly but enough to add pressure to you know what as your jeans tighten. It's only apparent after a long ride or heavy braking .
It also quickens up the steering and reduces the turning circle 😉 During braking one should really be squeezing the tank with ones thighs rather than leaning on the bars. No wrist pressure and better handling. Also I've already put a bit of extra foam into the front of the seat and eventually i plan to raise and widen the bars a little bit. Though tbh you've just highlighted my own worries. I'll be keeping the original linkage just in case it doesn't work for me!
Think of the children, Andy!!
There's rivets - and there's Yamaha rivets ;-)
Hmm... That multipiece assembly looks weird. Maybe a bit more space but more vibrations too, although it's not the old Versys :D That sharper angles worry me too. Thought about the pegs mounted on crash bars?
I think on the Versys vibrations might be noticeable. But the FZ1 is smoother for a start and then the whole rearset is actually rubber mounted so no vibes to be felt!
They are nice 👍
They were good, but sadly I’ve had to swap them out for the normal height equivalent. The extra width from the adjuster part meant that my knees became painful from having to turn my toes inwards for the controls.
I desperately need this for my gixxer
Hope they work out for you.
@@AndyManCam I had to return it, it stuck out so far the rear brake and shifter were in an awkward position to the inside of my feet.
That’s annoying. Back to the drawing board! Thinner boots?! 😉
Very Nice Work
Thank you very much!
Great confident commentary 👍👍👍🏅🏅🏅
Thanks very much Jonathan!
Hi there! Doesn't it bother you at shifting and braking? Can you use the pedals normally without angling your foot inwards? I have an k5 SV650S with handlebar conversion and I wold like to make it more comfortable for longer trips. My knee is killing me with the stock footpegs.
I did have to adjust all the controls which also involved bending the gear lever outwards a tiny bit. Once I got used to the pegs being a bit further out, it is definitely an improvement over the stock position.
How is/was the grip on these pegs? Thinking about buying a similar set but they look a lot slicker than the stock ones with their big rubbery bits. Would they be a bit dodgy if it's bit wet and you stand up on them to go over a speed bump for example?
I never had any issues. Of course that puts the focus on your boots. I had Daytona road boots for most of the time and they were never slippy.
@@AndyManCam Cheers! I'm a pretty fair-weather rider to be honest, so probably worth a try :)
Definitely then! Good luck!
Curious.... So I lowered my bike (I'm 5'0" and ride a Cbr f4i) my question is: would this footpeg be suitable for me as I get very close and have already dinged my foot pegs numerous times in the Twisties.
That depends on whether or not you still have your hero blobs on the pegs. Because these pegs don’t have hero blobs, i found that i actually had more clearance.
What's the difference to the SW footpegs you put on your CB? I'd imagine the SW pegs are better/ more comfortable being they are wider and have the rubber on top. I'm looking to get the same too.
The SW's are a lot more comfortable and they have a lot more adjustment possibility too. But they're also a lot more chunky and very heavy. Comes down to your tastes I suppose. Both do the job though.
What the hell, where's the cable ties? I watched this video to get my fix of cable tie action and there wasn't any.
Sorry mate! Next time I'll just tie up some random stuff to other stuff. 👍
Andy Cable Tie Man.
Does your center stand scrape before new foot pegs? Good info, thanks
Never had a problem with the centerstand touching the floor. Only the pegs or my toes!
Hi Andy ... you've come across the exact same issue I discovered, (poor foot alignment) ... the idea in principle is good, but in reality, this kit is basically "Shit", just ruins the ride due to its design, it's not a specific kit for this bike, or it would put the pegs in the same orientation, albeit lower.
Agreed. Before i sold the Honda i had a ‚Vario’ kit from MFW. It was much lower profile and worked much better.
I went to LSL to look for this. Is this called detent joint?
I think it's called 'Vario' or something along those lines.
Hey what are the brackets you are using for your rear passenger pegs? I have an FZ8 and looking to install pegs for a rear rider. Hopefully you respond, thanks.
Hey Matthew. They're just the stock brackets. Came on the bike. sounds like yours have been removed.
with the lack of cable management in this video, I will add some of my own. Any tips for managing a long mic cable in a helmet? Got a new Lavalier mic for my vids with about 4m of cable I need to find find room for. For now I coiled up the cable into 2 seperate coils placed in what space there is in the padding and then I tucked the rest into various crevices around the helmet. Nor sure if there are better ways.
That's the same as what i have done for the last 3 years. Until i got the X3000 cam from Sony which seems to treat the coils of wire as an antenna for picking up radio interference from the wifi, gps and Bluetooth functions. So i took the extreme step of cutting the wire and resoldering it with only 6" of cable from plug to mic. 2 birds, 1 stone!
Interesting, yeah cutting it was my first thought but then I'm reluctant to cut into something that works. I'll see how it works for now. I'll keep the antenna-ness in mind tho.
I get that. Luckily i have 2 of the same mic and they only cost £7! Tbh it was mostly an excuse to use more heatshrink!! 😎
Neet little kit that. Any issues with the brake/gear lever to date?
Not yet. In fact i was putting off adjusting the levers into optimal position until now when it was too off to ignore any more!
How did you bend the gear shifter and brake outwards?
With sheer force and determination.
That's quite a load of adjustment....Just no rubber padding on the custom footpegs,could compromise on comfort I reckon..
You’d be forgiven for thinking so, but the whole footrest assembly on the FZ1 is rubber mounted, so vibrations are already isolated from the frame. I really didn’t notice any difference.
Bolts made of Toffees 🤣
Have for f900xr?
Hey Andy which footpegs did you finally settle on? The hem of my (left) pants leg are getting tangled with the beefy stock footpegs . Any recommendations of replacement?
Hi Said. I ended up sticking with the LSL Standard peg joints with sport pegs. The adjustable was good, but it just stuck out too far. The LSL‘s were great. As soon as they release the certification for the new Honda, I’ll be putting some of them on that too.
@@AndyManCam They have a certification for your Honda, I Just bougth some for my 650 thats why I know
Ah brilliant. That must be recently refreshed! 😍
gotta be a simpler way to only lower the pegs so as not to widen the stance . like a piece of u channel with 4 holes in it ?
Sure, way simpler! Sadly in Germany critical structural parts like footpegs have to be TÜV approved for the bike, otherwise it’s not road legal. 🤦🏻♂️
@@AndyManCam that sucks , is there really someone out there checking bikes? hard for me to believe when i seen the size of the bolt on those pegs that they would be legal.seems like a heavy piece of channel and two heavy bolts would be much stronger? good luck ,good video
Unfortunately it doesn't matter if it's the strongest construction on the planet. If it's not approved, it's not legal. they check them at every TÜV inspection, but also if you are involved in an accident, they might check your bike over again. Anything illegal means no insurance and increased share of blame for the accident. Boooo!
You pegged it with this mod!
Nothing better then a nice joint!
...does it come it black :P
Only the peg itself. The arm part is only silver.
Sir, I m searching for a good rare seat cowl for my 2012 fz1 ... Can u help me find one ? Plz
I'm afraid I can'T help you. I bought mine second hand from eBay.
@@AndyManCam any luck .. where I can find swingarm extention cnc ?
@@AndyManCam thanks for the help ... I got it on ebay.uk .... 😇.. like urs mine fz1 is loaded to hell ... Probably everything u can find on planet earth for a fz1 ..is there on my bike ... 😇🙏
not seeing anything from LSL or ebay! is this the same thing with the exntension arms? www.sportouring.co.uk/shop/comfort-ergonomics/footpeg-kits/mfw-footpeg-kits/mfw-vario-rider-footpeg-brackets/mfw-yamaha/yamaha-front-vario-bracket/
Yeah looks similar. It’ll at the very least do the same Job. If anything, it looks a bit slimmer too. 👍🏻
@@AndyManCam Found these cheapo knockoffs on Ebay. BTW which position did you settle on
www.ebay.ca/itm/Fit-Yamaha-FZS1000-FZ6-FZ1-FZ8-S-Fazer-CNC-Black-Adjustable-Front-Footpegs/363301500248
I actually ended up taking them off. They were good, but set the pegs too far outwards. I settled for the standard LSL pegs.
@@AndyManCam Appreciate the response :) Does that mean the footpeg position is essentially stock but with additional clearance as they don't have peg feelers?
@@davidnghiem1806 Exactly that. With a tiny bit more legroom too as the pegs are lower profile than stock. No rubber. Which because the whole rearset is rubber mounted, had no noticeable effect on vibrations.
Did you end up bending the levers outwards?
Yes I did. But that still wasn't enough and I've taken the pegs off now. Too much knee twisting.
I always wondered how those would work with one's feet further out.The Versys has a kit from the US (Motowerks) that isn't adjustable but starts right from the joint. If you so jack up your Fazer (I considered doing the same thing with an FZ8) maybe you should look for a fork raiser too, since jacking up the back alone is going to pitch you slightly more forward onto the bars which might be uncomfortable on long journeys to various organs, sea ones and others.
So far in use, they've not been too bad. Once you get used to 'looking' for a spot 3/4 of an inch further out with your feet, you find the right spot every time. I did end up bending the levers out slightly, but only by a degree or 2. Not so much that they look like they've been vandalised!! I'm OK with the idea of pitching the bike forward a tiny bit as it will quicken the steering and shorten the turning circle. I'm lead to believe by the forums that that is how the bike should have been from the start. We'll see. In any case, the long term plan is to put slightly higher and wider bars on anyway. I just have to wait til I sort out some Stainless brake lines and longer clutch/throttle cables to make that possible. So no Sea organs need be damaged in the long term!
Andy was feeling a little more pressure on the bars that day th-cam.com/video/gDpg5MPXA1c/w-d-xo.html
Haha! LOT of weight on the wrists there. Until the throttle gets touched!
In my search for My Next Bike(TM), I've considered the BMW F800R, raising the bars and seat and putting on luggage and a screen. I'll need to test ride one, of course, but from what I've seen in TH-camONauts various escapades, it seems like a pretty good and agile machine. One can get fairly recent ones for a good price as well, for some reason. I think a lot of people buy one then sell it for bigger and greener pastures, aka a GS, XR or something equally bankrupting.
I think it'll all be down to the test ride. I've never tried a parallel twin from the Bavarians so sadly have no knowledge to give! But it's definitely a good looking bike. The GS's more athletic looking younger sister!
When you gonna change the anty knock over riders
I'm not sure. What do the anti knock over riders do?!
Aliexpress has Adjustable Rearsets for your bike for about 110-150 USD.
Can't attest to their quality though.
Sadly that kind of stuff just isn't an option for me here in Germany. Footpegs have to be TüV approved specifically for the bike. Plus i would have concerns about putting all of my weight on cheap Chinese aluminium! 😂
Dunno about TuV approved but they claim they are 6061 Aluminum w/stainless bolts, and they don't look cast.
Sold under the name kemimoto, also found on amazon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great pegs Andy, another problem I'm having Andy is,does anybody know the uk law regarding to which color of visor your allowed to use on your helmet,NOW SOME SAY, dark visors are allowed so is the standard clear BUT mirror ones are NOT,any help Andy really appreciated.thankyou.
Cheers James! +Spicy110 did a little vid about that recently. Apparently the word is that dark visors are allowed, to a certain level of tint. (It's easy here in germania because legal visors are E-marked) But allegedly mirror visors are not allowed because the sun could reflect off of them and dazzle other road users. It sounds a little crazy but stranger things have also been true when it comes to road regulations! 😂
Maybe worth a look. But sadly not by me. No type approval for my bike means no insurance.
Good video but these things on a gxsr suck. Its a poorly designed product..they push your foot too far outward... and as another youtuber said "they feel more dangerous than anything". I couldnt believe that, so i ordered the shinobis for 60$ and he was dead on! For a gsxr and probably a lot of other bikes, you wanna go straight down, if you must move them.....and even then you'll have to move your shifter and brake to correlate. Inch and a half is a LOT, in relation to your brake and shifter, but id still feel better with another inch of leg room (2 1/2 inches), but that aint gonna happen on a gxsr. Main reason is gears and shift wouldnt move enough to compensate.
Totally agree. The movement outwards is less than ideal.
Do not how people can work wearing gloves but like the vid
I have to, otherwise I just end up shredding my knuckles! As a semi-professional musician, I have to protect these moneymakers!!
Please everybody does something similar but everybody forgets to sit on the bike with a side view so I can see how bent your knee is when I sit on my bike and my knees are touching my tank I cannot bend my knee up anymore,. To get My Foot , anywhere on the Pig t impossible that's why I need to see A side View please.you see Everyone has the same kind
Thanks Bill
You know just realized maybe I should take a video of my situation yeah that's a good idea problem is there's a lot of other people that same ideas can't keep sending the same you anyways I'll think of Something
Anyways other than that excellent video
Good point bill. Should really have tried that.
All this cost around 20euro on ebay, chines stuff, LSL just buying cheep chines foot pegs and re branding them. My friend bought "original" and I bought chines one, and they are absolutely same. LSL re branding and ripping off people.
By the way, nice video.
If you'Re right, that's great! I've sadly heard of many chinese 'versions' of more expensive equipment failing and causing very dodgy situations! Each to their own I suppose!
@@AndyManCam for now I don't have any issues with mine, I put around 3k with them.
I am just not happy that you actually loos a lot of footpeg length becouse L shape lovering part. You will loos around inch and a half or 4cm something like thay. So they are really uncomfortable and I needed some time to adjust my self on wired profile of this footpegs. By the way you will need some nut treadlock.
You didn’t gain ground clearance , now your boot will trail the ground instead of the foot peg
But the boot/edge of the new peg is higher up than the lowest position of the hero blob on the old peg. That means the bike will lean further before ANYTHING touches the floor. Therefore, more ground clearance.
@@AndyManCam the pegs don’t leave as much room for you foot in the width and your foot will point down in front of the peg, try it out but I’m sure your toe will touch down before the peg, either way I still want to try them for myself. Thank you for the good comparative camera shots and good luck with your results.
But that’s a good thing. The peg would originally touch down way before the toe would. I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one, but i found the ground clearance greatly improved.
Nice video! A question: Do you like wera tools? I personally love them and find them great in terms of quality/price! :) Cheers!
Thanks very much! Yeah, I’m a big Wera fan. I’ve got a bunch of their stuff and i think it’s all top shelf stuff!
