Floppy rear footrests.
Skoti:
Wave washer may work better for a kick starter.
Others on this forum perhaps have experience of that.

What exactly is floppy?
@ Skoti What is a wave washer?
Skoti:
Wave washer has a similar effect as a spring washer.
Wave washers get their name because of their wave shape. This distinctive shape produces spring pressure when the wave washer is somewhat compressed. Wave spring washers are suitable for a variety of bearing applications where a small deflection may be required. It is particularly common to use wave washers to take up end play and for the loading of bearing assemblies. You can search through our range using a number of filters, including inside diameter, outside diameter, thickness, free height and loaded height.

Floppy means loose and wobbly, like a drunk man flopping about. 😁

..and the bit that is floppy is the kick-start arm...it swings out instead of staying tight against the engine when not being used.
