Brake pedal
The new gasgas is certainly eye candy,but what I keep looking at is the new rear brake pedal. Haven't seen one up close but would that pedal assembly fit on the older models ,say 06.
Would love a 2012 but I race what I can afford and I've grown to love my gasser. I have over50 races on it with only one piston replacement at 35 races. I'm a big guy with limited talent and would just as soon ride over or thru an obstacle than around it. I raced a Ktm 300 before this and killed it on a regular basis ,my gasser has NEVER let me down. 06-300 Lots of mods. All the bike I need |

I, too, am curious. Only have a little time on my '11, but I can't help but feel that the exposed brake is a liability.

I never thought the pedal was a problem. All the Japs use the outside of the frame pedal. Actually thought in most cases its stronger to go outside of the frame, since the pedal is strait.??

I put an aftermarket bushing from
http://www.checkpointoff-road.com/store.html and the rear brake pedal has been a total non issue. It works well and is as tight the day I bought the bike. |

I have the same bushing and it really helps, the stock pedal bushing wears out so fast in my opinion

i made the same bushing. and made the one for inside the pedal also. works great. i like the inside the frame idea - and the new pedal has bearings instead of bushings, and it looks better protected from getting jammed with trail debris...
