10-4 KMAN Yeah boots can be a real pain to get use too. May have to beat them up before you are in love with them. If you have small feet not sure a longer lever will help much but I could be wrong. I have old worn out boots that are whipped into submission pretty well and size 12's and get along pretty fair on the shifter.
Foot pegs ARE too small and that seems universal for this bike. Yamaha messed up on that for sure. There are other choices but they are $$$. There is a link on this site for pivot pegs and Brian sells some too. Lets see if this link works. it's my first attempt at adding a link http://ttr250.activeboard.com/t51405906/i-have-big-feet/
CARP!?# ...Do a search for feet or big feet for some foot peg help.
I too have just started looking for a brake peddle with a larger foot plate. My mate had one on his BMW hp2, from touratack, but looking for a cheaper option.
