Ms. J Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey all. I have an 09 Ninja 500, and I think the guy told me that you can adjust the foot pegs for different leg lengths. Does anyone know how to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Damn the 500 comes with adjustable rearsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 they are not adjustable stock. This guy may have put aftermarket rearsets on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Not stock it doesn't. I'm not even sure of aftermarket adjustable ones. Maybe woodcrafts but they don't make rearsets for the 500 any more. Stock 500 pegs are not adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 The only stock adjustable once I know of are the newest generation gixxer's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Maybe the gpz500 front pegs are adjustable and fit up. Saw that on ex500 forum, but can't confirm.Maybe the previous owner put that on there. Don't know, can't see it from here.There are aftermarket front pegs for adjustable, but pricey at 175 bucks.

Ms. J Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 They are stock pegs. I just bought it brand new from a dealer about 2 weeks ago. He showed me a few things that are adjustable on the bike like the front brake and clutch, and I thought he said the foot pegs. I guess not.

siggywiggy Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 surprisingly the HYOSUNG bikes have adjustable pegs.only if all there parts were held on with quality bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 only if all there parts were held on with quality bolts.first rule of chinese bikes is change the oil immediately. the shit thats in there looks like vegetable oil. second rule is take off all the bolts, and put blue locktite on them. red if its something you REALLY dont want falling off.

The clutch pedal and brake lever are adjustable on damn near every bike out there, the pegs themselves usually aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Just take a quick pic of the foot peg and we can tell you straight up.My Aprilia has eccentric toe pegs for the shifter and brake, wish it had adjustable foot pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. J Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't have a garage so I keep my bike in a storage unit about 2 blocks away. I will try to get pics and put them up soon.Cheech you are probably right, and maybe that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 save yourself the trouble. If you bought it stock from the dealer, I can promise you the rearsets aren't adjustable at all.either the guy meant that you can adjust the shift-lever itself (raise or lower it, to change your REACH to it), or he was lying to you.The clutch and brake levers are adjustable, but that's about all that's adjustable on the EX. it doesn't even have preload adjustment for the forks.and the only difference between your 2009 and my 1997 is the letter "R," and the available colors.

ReconRat Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 gpz500, ninja 500R, and EX500 footpegs are all the same from 1987 and up, from what I'm reading. I don't think any of them were adjustable either. Here's the MFW Vario aftermarket kit (German) to drop the pegs. Adjustable by changing the vertical part. Two drop lengths available for front pegs. Three parts each side, total $140 / pair. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/4693/139/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
