Swingarm thunk

[Guest jlburgess]

Every so often when I hit a bump, I "feel" a thunk in the swingarm or shock through the left footpeg. It's been doing this since the bike was new, but I can't find any loose bolts or anything. Does anyone have this problem? BTW I have the accessory adjustable footpegs mounted.

Thanks!

What adjustable footpegs?Do you have any pictures?Where did you get them?

You can see the pegs at:

They're $560 and can be rotated down for more legroom.

Mr. Burgess,

 

Does this set up have a much different position than the stock set up? could you post some pictures of the peg location.

 

It seems to me this "sport rider foot rest and controls kit" does not really change the position of the pegs very much or at all.

 

I would like to see the difference.

[Guest jlburgess]

The pegs can be rotated back and down about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. It makes a significant difference to me because I can get my knees in the fuel tank cut outs now. They aren't nearly as low as the ones that Al posted the pictures for the other day though.

 

I got 'em for free on the accessory rebate, so no complaints from me! I think they look better too and provide a more solid shifter feel by eliminating the complicated linkage set up.

 

You can see a picture on the italian website:
