Footpeg rubber conundrum...
Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 9:49 am
Hoping a KR expert maybe able to shed some light on a weird problem I have trying to replace the damaged right hand side footpeg rubber on my JDM KR250.
My local Kawasaki dealer had a microfiche sent to them and confirmed the part can still be bought from Japan so I went ahead and ordered it. When it arrived it didn't match the rubber on the bike - very similar style but slightly smaller and and the fastenings don't line up so the new one can't be fitted.
I checked the part number against the scans on the KR website and they match up so it's the right part. What's more, that also ruled out my theory that perhaps the Jap market models were subtly different, because the scans on the KR site are japanese...
Pics below- does anyone know something that I don't? Appreciate any advice!
