Why and How To Fit and Adjust Rear Sets On Sports Bike

Do you know why the fastest riders in the world use rear sets?
Do you know how to adjust a set of rear sets properly?
Here's a quick look at the benefits of fitting rear sets to your sports bike, and some tips for how to adjust / set them up correctly.
The ultimate goal is to establish the most stable position on the bike where you can attach effectively using your feet and legs. Well positioned rear sets will do that for you. Poorly set up rear sets offer little advantage when it comes to attachment.
The biggest tip here is this - Don't buy cheap shit! Buy a rear set that is of good quality and you'll get the most out of them.

thats lovely that you let your Sheila ride on the bike of the bike, and that the little lady noticed the difference on the rear sets

Great Video. Another reason I fit them is due to the improved quality vs. Oem in that they have less free-play which means less effort put in to gear changes when the connection is more direct. In oem the bearings are brass bushes which where whereas quality after market have ball/needle bearing what are smoother/tighter

great suggestion to not start high and how my new pegs are set and it's much less comfortable that OEM on my gsxr750....so, I'll move them forward and see if that helps connect to the tank - thanks

I like your videos & I can see you know plenty about motorcycles & riding 😝👍🏍

Thanks for that I got a set of M package rear sets, and replaced the original ones, the problem is I don’t know where exactly put them as I don’t feel locked on the bike, but my other problem is I have RA and it’s in my hips so I can’t have to high as I’d never get my feet on the pegs

Another great video 🙏🏻 I have a set of BMW rear sets for my s1000R. I’ve been delaying fitting for a while. Mostly because I’m over 6 foot and I wasn’t sure how much this would compromise comfort.

But I would love to have better grip on the bike so 😬 tough.

Any difference for you with comfort after the upgrade?

Your view of the California Superbike replacement pegs produced by Gilies tooling? Seem to be a nice compromise between a complete rear set and the OEM pegs (that on 45000km s1000r) that have lost some of their grip.

Great video! My bike is near identical to yours. I just took it to my local track for the first time and did not feel very comfortable as i had done on all my previous bikes.

Im putting it down to the rear set position so will definetly play with the positon setting this weekend.

I also really struggled with the roadshift so will change this to GP shift. Do you know why there are 2 threaded holes per pattern when changine. What is the effect of using one over the other?

Thanks in advance

lol $2000 rearsets...maybe for a BMW motorcycle owner that sounds normal. I've seen decent ones for around $500-$700 range.

Would you happen to know why the right footrest on my hp rearset spins?

The left side doesn't. The right side just spins and spins? How do I tighten it? How do I make it not spin?

[garyhutson]

Do they go lower than standard position. For long rides ?

[ricardoreis]

I have difficulty placing the tip of my foot even when pulling everything back and up, maybe due to my height, I am 1.85 meters/6.1ft.
Any advice?

I got Bonamici Racing rearsets for my 890 R. Do you think they are good?

[johnadams]

Actually you missed the how part technically speaking
