Front Right Footrest
« on: October 25, 2020, 06:38:47 PM »
I took the right footrest off to gain access to the clutch casing. I was moving it up and down and it was clicking up into the locked position. After doing this about 3 times it stopped clicking and is now floppy. Can anyone tell me if something is missing or if the thin metal spring type thing is in the wrong position? If something did fly off then I 'll scout the garage floor again, but it would be useful to know what I'm looking for.

By what I can see, it doesn't look like the spring clip is located correctly, it's a long time since I took mine apart, so I could be wrong. I will have a closer look at mine tomorrow.

I've had a look at my footrest and in comparison to yours, it just looks like the end of the spring on yours is not located in the right place. I have marked on your photo where the spring needs to be sitting against that little post and I have taken a pic of mine and you can see that you just need to push the end of the spring back further to give it full tension. Hopefully, this will give you your click back. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the comparison photo. I've had a quick look and tried changing the position of the spring, to no avail. I've looked at the exploded drawing in Ash's dropbox and can't see anything missing. So far it's a mystery. I've had to replace 2 fenceposts set in concrete which involves rebuilding a small brick wall so I've had little time. I'm sure I can wrap my head around it eventually. When you lift your footpeg, does it "click"?

Yes, it clicks, not a sharp click noise, more of a soft click, if you get my drift.

Good, I was beginning to doubt my sanity.

I struggled a bit with this also.

I thought I had it right, but it doesn’t look quite like yours Julie.

It springs a bit, but there is no click, hard, soft or otherwise.

I'm of the mind that the 'click' or lack of it, has little to no bearing on the function. The main thing is that when you put the foot peg in the up position, it should stay up until you knock it back down and not flop down of its own accord. I will have another look at mine tomorrow and see if I can get any better pictures. .

Sean I can see that you have a double spring on there. I think I need to scour the garage floor.

No, it’s all one piece of metal folded over and then bent as required.
