Floppy rear footrests.
Oddjob:
Pretty sure there's a ball bearing and spring involved in that Andy, like the choke mechanism on the 500/550 but bigger. Small indents on the knuckle part that allows the ball bearing to locate and stay in the position set. Could be the ball bearing stuck because the spring has rusted and broke or there's so much crap in the tunnel it lives in that it just can't move.
andy120t:
Thanks - I was just looking at an exploded parts diagram. The spring might be the first but to check/replace.one of those small 'to do list' jobs that I need to get round to!
Oddjob:
Ball bearing No.10, same as the 500 clutch push rod, got some of those NOS if you need one Andy. Spring not available but most likely something around that should do the trick.
deltarider:
I am not sure, what exactly this thread is about. Anyway, this (see pic) is the condition my rear pegs are in, when lowered. That's the sloppiness mine have. How can I address this gloomy hanging down?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Yikes that's worse than mine for being below horizontal - mine are all floppy when in the upright position as well.
Something for me to sort during the cold winter days.
