Right-side foot peg annoying
TrickyMicky:
Just a latent point, but I was always taught, (many moons ago!!), when ready to move off, engage 1st gear, then change feet so that your right foot is ready for the brake in case of a problem. Something to peruse over the obligatory Friday night beer(sssss).

That's what I try to remember to do on the 400f but I've not made it easy for myself by having 2 bikes with gears/brakes on opposite sides! 🤣

Mike,
That spring is double leaf - one part coil inside the other - is yours double? Steve (400/4 parts) might have one. The r/h footrest on both my 400/4 and 350/4 have the correct spring and they are very positive in their action and so far have never flicked up. Think the 550F1 is the same system but not checked. I was also taught to swap feet to cover the brake after selecting the gear - IAM test in 1983!

Thanks, Ian, that's interesting! My spring is not a double leaf!!!

I think my spring has lost it's springiness. ;D ;D ;D
