We've been running Pro Moto Billet Fastway Evo 3 footpegs with their F5 cleats on our Yamaha WR250R Project bike. This could be one my favorite mods for these bikes, since the factory pegs are so flimsy and narrow. The Pro Moto Billet Fastway footpegs are considerably wider and have more aggressive F5 serrate pin cleats, not to mention three rows of them (11 in each footpeg).
Installation:
Installation is pretty simple. The first thing you have to do is install the cleats in each footpeg. Pro Moto Billet (PMB) includes loctite and a special tool for you to use. Once you get that done, you need to remove the stock footpegs. The left side comes off real easily, but the right one takes a bit longer since you need to move the rear brake lever out of the way. Once that's done, it's just a matter of putting on the new footpegs and then playing around with the various adjustments (see below) to suit your riding.
Adjustability:
One of the biggest advantages to these Evo 3 footpegs is their adjustability. They incorporate a patent pending Universal Collar System that allows you to choose from standard or lowboy seat-to-peg height positions. I went with the Lowboy position, which is slightly lower than stock, and I like how that setting positions the pegs in relation to the shift and brake lever. In addition to that, there is a FKMS (Fast Kamber Mounting System) which allows you to adjust the upward and downward tilt of the pegs using a bolt/shim setup on the backside of the peg. I ended up going with no shims, which keep the footpegs pretty much flat.
Cleats:
These footpegs feature Pro Moto Billets patented replaceable traction cleat system. With the F3, you get two sets of F3 threaded cleats – short 10mm, and tall 12mm cleats; which allow you to customize the shape and traction level of your footbed. Set them up all tall, all short, arched center, tall outside, tapered, or get creative! There is also an F5 Serrated cleat, which offers a bit more traction than the F3. When you order the F5, you will also get a set of the F3 cleats so you actually get two sets of cleats.
Final Thoughts:
I love these things! The wider platform feels much better than the narrow stock pegs, especially when standing up. I also like the lower "lowboy" position since it puts my boots in a better spot to shift and brake, plus it gets me a little lower on the bike. Overall I think this is one of the best mods for the WR250R.
