Right-side foot peg annoying

(1/6) > >>

Mikep328:
My right side footpeg seems to regularly find itself in the vertical position so that when I start moving and try to place my foot on the peg my foot lands on "nothing."  I realize that peg has to shift to allow use of the kick start lever (someday I'll have to try kickstarting to see if it actually works!).

I could drill a hole/install a removable pin to keep the peg in the riding position but wondering if anyone has experienced this and found a less invasive solution.

Nurse Julie:
It should stay down on its own as its got a spring loaded bit fitted to keep it down.
Number 399 on the fiché.

 Yeah, I checked that earlier this year.  The spring is there but maybe it's not quite as strong as it was in 1976!  I'll try a new spring before taking any drastic action!

Mikep328:
OR maybe I won't...DSS shows the spring not available.  :(

Is the spring located correctly because if it doesn't click past the little pin , it won't stay down.
