    Pivot Pegs for $300 on Trade me IIRC.
    No idea how that compares with buying online overseas. I'd like a pair myself sometime.

    I have a set of ROX anti vibration risers.. yer need something.. as 4000rpm area is bad for vibration
    and thats where the motor sits at 100kph...

    Do yer know you can set some of the injection setting from the insturment panel.. theres also a rev counter in there
    for setting idle.. plus the error codes for trouble shooting... if there a issue with the ignition or injection it will
    show a error code to tell you where the prob is... you need the codes list...you can also change the TPS & O2 settings...

    turn key/kill switch off...
    hold down both buttons while turning the key on.... keep holding the buttons down till the dialog screen comes up..
    " take note of the setting before yer change anything"
    Turn key off & any new setting will be retained..
    The system has preset values it will not go outside of... so yer can't do the motor in...

    The risers made it way more comfortable standing up - could have gone to 30mm but it only came with 20mm in the box of bits when i got it.

    Havent noticed any vibrations yet but probably used to it after the ktm. Dont like how the bars sweep back so will maybe look at changing them one day - makes an awkward angle for the wrists

    Still wainting for my pegs to arrive
