Replacement front footpegs
« on: 18 June 2016, 06:52:12 pm »
My front footpegs angle forward, not by much but enough to be mildly irritating; I think the pivot pins are worn. Are there any solutions out there?


Also, I couldn't find any forum articles about this - have I missed something? Maybe this is where I find out they all do that! [size=78%]


I Googled rearsets but there doesn't seem to be much out there except for Gilles. Are there any others still out there for the FZS600?


Thanks![/size]

If the pivot pins are worn, replace them, simple.

I'd replace them 1st though simply as it will be the cheapest part, go from there, problem solved, job done, if not, look further into the problem
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

I had a problem like this recently. The pivot hex bolts just needed tightening.

There would be plenty of options for replacements if searching eBay.  But replacing the worn pins is going to be by far the cheapest option.

Yep good call, plenty on ebay. Don't get the really cheap ones from hong kong,they're 'high glass quality' which I hope is a typo  :lol
I could do with replacing the rubbers on mine, but it's probably not worth the hassle.
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
