Got tired of my stock pegs at around 160 hours on my 16 KTM frame. Found a good deal on a used set of fastway evo pegs so I picked those up along with a new fit kit (sleeves that go into the footpeg).

After installing the new fit kit I mounted them up and noticed they had maybe 1/8th to a 1/4 inch of side to side play. I replaced my pins as well thinking mine were grooves but I’m still experiencing the same thing.

My stock pegs don’t wiggle, and the fastways came off the same exact bike I have. I don’t know how much I’ll notice it when I ride but it definitely bothers me. I was thinking of running to the hardware store to maybe see if I can find a thin enough washer to shim the pegs, but was wondering if anyone has a similar experience with fastway pegs or higher hour KTM frames?

Sounds like any steel framed KX except they would be like that in under 10 hours.

That amount of play doesn't sound right to me
Why would they spec it out for that
If you want to keep -shim them

I had the same issue after I ordered a new fit kit. The spacer inside the peg from the new fit kit was too small causing a ton of play. I emailed them and they sent me the right spacers
