yz450fx TS ST track rubbing

[Bainan]

Installing a 2016 ST onto my new YZ450FX and the track rubs on the kickstand mount. I am guessing this was a miss by TS since the YZ450F mount does not stick back so far due to not having a kick stand, so this would be unique to the YZ450FX.

I am not going to cut the track since it is already notched out slightly in order to fit the chain roller mount on the regular YZ450F, so to notch it out for the YZ450FX would be taking out a huge chunk of the left side of the track (over one inch).

What have other YZ450FX users done to solve this problem?

Following are options that I am looking at:

1. Cut the whole mount in half just behind where the foot-pegs mount. This would allow the back part to be installed for the chain roller and kickstand in the spring. Only problem is since the kickstand would only have one connection point, it may not be sturdy as the bolt for the chain roller can rotate. I could possibly tap another screw into the part of the frame that sticks out to prevent this.

2. See if a mount off a YZ450F will fit and buy one just for winter use. (If this does work, timbersled should be including this in the fit kit in the future).

my local dealer said they were gonna get a footpeg mount for a straight 450f to solve the problem, but I can't promise 100% it is exactly the same since I don't have one

Was that the timbersled dealer that said that? I am hoping there will be solution from timbersled since this will be a summer bike for me too so I don't want to start hacking and slashing it for the winter.

yeah, the 450f one is the ticket, get one, bolt up, shred more, stress less.

Blitz motorsports here in Bozeman, MT(yes a timbersled dealer) put a 450fx together and they showed me the rub a few weeks ago, they said they were gonna put a 450f footpeg mount on it to fix it, I havent been in since then.

I robbed a mount off my 250f and used it was gonna just hack/cut off the back part of the fx mount. I know yamaha was back ordered and same with Rocky mountain atv kickstand removal kit/mount

YZ one works just fine have one on my YZ450fx and had one on my 2015 WR450f. They are cheap also don't hack the stock one.. I'm pretty sure we have a couple of them in stock let me know if you need one! The 450fx makes a great snow bike except for shoveling the deep powder straight into the air box sometimes. They run strong and work great!

You might be able to get away with just flipping over the footpeg mount.
Worth a try:
