Aftermarket brake pedal
I've got a 2000 kdx220 and mangled my brake pedal today in a rocky hare scramble. I'm going to try and bend it back (heh, it was almost wrapped around the footpeg- no idea how I did that), but if I can't, or it breaks, I'm wondering if I have any options other than the stock pedal. I need to bend it so it's lower, too (even in the lowest setting, it's still too damn high).

On my 220 I used one from a 2004 kxf250 ( i did have to turn a bushing on the lathe) and installed a MSR brake saver.

The nice thing about the stock pedal is that it can be bent repeatedly into all kinds of odd shapes. It is steel and won't snap.
I put a KX125 lever on for a while. It required changing the mount. The pedal felt nice once I got it adjusted. The first stump I hit snapped it right off. Aluminum pedals don't like to bend.

I wouldn't trade that steel pedal for anything, LOL, it is amazing how well it can be reshaped! I always use a brake snake too, it helps.KarlP wrote:The nice thing about the stock pedal is that it can be bent repeatedly into all kinds of odd shapes. It is steel and won't snap.

Thanks for the advice... I was pretty surprised how easily I could bend it (using a pipe for leverage). I even got the pedal in a much better position (I hope)- the previous owner had it so high that I had to practically lift my foot to use it.
Kinda makes me want to replace the aluminum pedal on my other bike, because that's just bound to break one day.
I also ordered brake snakes today- never used 'em before, but I'll give it a shot.
