    Hi All have a 84 WR250 and the frame tabs the foot pegs rest on are worn away , Was thinking of building them up with weld and grinding back , just looking for some input if you think this will work , or any good ideas . Have some new pegs have tried them on so not just old worn pegs.

    Cheers Dave

    i dont see too many other options to fix the frame tabs being worn down..just try to get enough surface area restored so the peg has a surface to ride on. i have done this on car spindles that get notches worn in them where the brake pads ride, seems to hold up..

    I'm not familiar with your bike... that kind of wear sounds odd to me... but like I said I'm not familiar with that model.

    Unless the 84 had a mild steel instead of a heat treated chrome-moly steel frame like the earlier models, I'd avoid welding anywhere near it. I would do the welding build up on the pegs and not the frame if at all possible...

    Chrome-moly frame i thought new foot pegs would cure the problem but no, may take your advise and try to build up the underside of the new peg.

    2 spots of weld on the bit the pegs rest on isnt going to bother the frame . Just do it.
