Just wondering if this has happened to anyone?

hasnt happened to me, but im sure it has to someone. Outcome cant be pretty

RacePirate

I haven't had one break yet, but I did get lucky and have both bolts that hold the bracket for the peg almost back out. Maybe about 5 or 6 threads from the end of the bolt on both of them. I'm 215 lbs. so that probably doesn't help.

I cracked mine last weekend w/out realizing it...then went out to ride a few days later and luckily i unfolded the peg w/ my hand when i started my bike VS> going down the road w/ my foot at 60 mph....when i opened it and put some pressure on it and it snapped off

I've slipped off of mine a couple times becuase of wet shoes riding in inclement weather, luckily no mishaps yet, I just pulled myself into the seat. Sure does make you more cautious.

scary ****

when i drop my ****, I check for cracks in the backs of the brackets.

as far as slipping off, you know the little square nubbins in the footpegs? ive sharpened those things with a cutting disc and you feet will never slide off. same with the brake

for some reason i think about it folding up while im wheeling back peg...

seems like it could if you twelve it..?

I think about that every time im rockin down the eway on 1 wheel, you can only imagine what the outcome could be, wouldnt be good.......good question though, Ive thought about if this has happened to people.....need to reinforce that **** or make a new one out of steel or something

Rearsets that break are common... I have seen a few break in my stunting days. Some not bad and some not pretty. Everyone should periodically check their whole bike for cracks, loose bolts, etc. It will help prevent a lot of accidents....

my buddy had a R6 and the shift peg broke on standup with chick on back and hit the guy next to him which knocked him back down. and no one good hurt. lucky??????? then 2 months later the throttle clip on broke off in mid wheelie. and still made it out allright." LUCKY"??????????????????

After all the post i've seen and heard ppl talking about r6 stuff breaking, i dont think i'd leave a stock part on it

I've had one of my bolts back all the way out. The peg dropped 4-5" and was rocking all over in the middle of a 70mph expressway wheelie. Scared the sh*t outta me. Loctite from now on.

I had the right (brake side) rearset brake on my F4 mid wheelie. Its was raining outside, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, just got down cutting down my exhaust, pulled up a 30mph wheelie in my neighbor hood and about 30 seconds into the wheelie it snapped.

I ended up doing an apehanger of sorts at 30 mph with a mini-van behind me. Pulled it out ok, but my knee was seriously brused from the 905! Not to mention my nuts hurt, but I'd take that over rash any day.

^dam i wish i could of seen the driver of the mini vans face when that happened. thats cool that you rode it out tho.

welcome to the wonderful world of kawasaki's joe broke one last week. and just like the front their fragile woodcraft rear-sets for the front and custom one in the rear make it beefy
