Default Foot pegs issue

Alright, I'm either too stupid to find a post about this or the ONLY ONE with this problem ever lol

My foot pegs vibrate alot. Left more than right I guess. and only after 7rpm or something like that. but to the point where if im riding on the highway, my foot goes numb.

How in the world do I fix this? It happened only to my left foot on the cbr600 I used to have, now the 929rr is on both lol

any help apreciate it.

Not to be condescending, but what kind of shoes are you wearing? I've never had an issue with my feet going numb - my hands, yes, but not my feet.

What pants are you wearing? If they bunch up behind you knee and cut off circulation to your foot, it will go numb. The shape of the seat can cut off blood flow as well. Try moving around you seating and foot position every once in while when cruising.

Ill answer to both here,

Shoes vary as I mostly ride to go to school (30min highway ride). Mostly Puma running shoes with owesome cushion lol To be honest, the vibration reduces by about 80% with these puma shoes compared to Skating style shoes (sorry, dont know how else to describe them, like All Stars).

As far as my pants, sometimes theyre fit (not tight tight tho, but not saggy). other times saggy. Although, unless I plan on speeding and take turns at high speeds etc, I wear shorts.


To better describe the vibration, it is exactly what the handlebar feels like when it doesnt have the barends. (which btw, hioc1098 that might be why your hands go numb, barends too loose nor perhaps not there?).

Sometimes im able to put my foot in a specific spot of the footpeg where it doesnt bother me, its not too hard to find this spot on the right foot, but the left foot? easier to move my foot around constantly than finding the good spot, specialy since to shift I gotta move it lol.

I just wonder it there is some rubber, spring, bolt, screw, or IDK that my bike might be missing :/

these are the shoes I mostly wear, and again, are the ones that help avoid the vibration the best.

You might need a stiffer shoe

Put up a pic of your pegs. We will be able to see if your missing anything.

Be careful...you should check your pegs. Dis-assemble to reassemble and make sure you use those anti-vibration blue applicant. If you don't mount the right amount of torque...in time peg may rattle off...thus you may be feeling this vibration sensation. If it does not feel normal...likely something is not right.

regardless of peg issue...always wear street boots...PUMA does make some for DUCATI's but I doubt yours is riding boots.

Get yourself some over-the-ankle boots to ride.

Can you please give me the name of the part you are reffering to (Anti-Vibration Blue Application)? I googled around and couldnt find a part or accessory called anti-vibration for foot pegs or anything.

I am somehow new to this stuff. So believe me, I apreciate all your guys help.

I dont have shoes with harder bottom than those pumas lol but I gotta get my hands on some.

I am trying to save money for riding boots, but im a student with no money lol I do work, but have living expenses of as much as my paycheck.

Since I dont know what im suposed to show you guys, here are all angles of BOTH foot pegs.
