Title: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 06/24/07 at 21:46:58 Brand new biker here. Just picked up a used 07 S40 with just 370 miles from Ebay. Here are some pics I just put up today if you want to look... http://home.nyc.rr.com/luxup/S40.htm I'm waiting for my waiver from my MSS course so I can't really ride just yet which is just as well since my left footpeg broke. It got twisted pretty bad during the ride home. Bike shifted in the trailer. It was tied tight enough that it didn't lay on it's side but it went over enough to bend the footpeg pretty bad. At first I was able to ride with it but later, when trying to bend it back I was able to snap it off with my bare hands. Where can I order the exact same footpeg? For that matter, what is the model. I don't have the owners manual and I just started searching for one online but I would really like to replace it with the same exact thing for now. Thanks |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by Kropatchek on 06/25/07 at 03:44:42 Check www.ronayers.com illustrated parts catalog for correct nomenclature and pictures. Then ask the question in parts required. Maybe somone has the part for sale or to give away. Greetz Kropatchek |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by Savage_Rob on 06/25/07 at 05:19:11 I usually compare http://www.RonAyers.com with http://www.CrotchRocket.com to see who has the best price. Both have parts fiche. |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 06/25/07 at 09:23:45 I was looking at the diagram for footpegs and boy, they don't make it look easy do they. There are about a million pieces for 1 footpeg. I read other posts about this but thought that maybe, just maybe it would be easier for me, hah. I consider myself mechanically inclined so after work today I'm heading to the garage with my tools to take it apart and see what I can keep and what is destroyed. Since I'm new to this and know that I know nothing, I will be posting pics tonight of the end result and asking you all for your help - again. Thanks in advance everyone. |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 06/25/07 at 20:08:28 Ok, not bad at all. I shredded the rubber (how often do you get to say that) to get a better look and here you go... http://home.nyc.rr.com/luxup/images/footrest.jpg ...left footrest. According to the diagram at crotchrocket http://www.crotchrocket.com/fiche_section_popup.asp?fveh=10118§ion=432140&year=2007&make=Suzuki&category=Motorcycles&tiercode=&dc=947&name=FOOTREST thank you all, I need a new #6 - BAR, FRONT FOOTREST LH. Left footrest but on the right side of the diagram, ok. That and a new rubber and I should be good to go. Minimal tools, time and effort required. My kind of fix. Parts are cheapest at crotchrocket if anyone cares. I checked bikebandit, ronayers and crotchrocket. Since I am extremely impatient I think I'll stop by the local dealer tomorrow and pick up what I need. Hopefully it won't be that much more expensive. |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by geo on 06/25/07 at 20:52:16 Get rid of the passenger pegs. This is not a 2 passenger bike. You have to take the rear wheel off to do this, but when you replace the stock tire, do the deed. There is no reason to carry your fat assed broad on this machine. Get a truck. |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 06/25/07 at 22:58:12 I think I'll deal with the dealer for this one. I sat on enough bikes and asked enough questions there to justify paying them an extra $12-$15 that the parts I would need should cost me. And if I am correct on the amount, I don't mind paying that to not wait for shipping. Also, a couple of the parts I have are just slightly off so I want to compare with new ones and see if I should bother replacing. That and I want to see if they have a backrest and rear rack so I can take an up close look before buying online. As for the rear pegs. They aren't hurting anybody so I'll leave them for now. Besides, if the wife (not fat assed thank you) ever starts to warm up to the bike and decides to take a ride with me (after I get plenty of miles under my belt first) then I don't want any excuses for her to back out. And who needs a truck? I've got the mighty MINI... http://home.nyc.rr.com/luxup/images/Trailer.jpg :P |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 06/26/07 at 18:56:28 This sucks. Seems like nobody in the country has the thing in stock. Was hoping to ride this weekend but I guess that's out. |

I dropped my bike 3 weeks ago & bent the left footpeg. I managed to ride it for an additional week before it broke off altogether. I'd ordered the replacement parts online, waited two weeks for them. Only to discover i'd apparently read the diagram wrong & ordered the right bar instead of the left :-[. So I gave in & ordered the parts from a local dealer. The parts prices were higher but they didn't charge me shipping so it balanced out to about the same. And I got the new / correct part back today, in 5 days. Now, if only I can get that bolt tightened back into place. Hang in there, at least you sorted out the parts diagram correctly so you're ahead of me. btw----anybody need a right front support bar? ;) |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 06/27/07 at 07:57:47 I finally broke down and ordered it from the dealer :-/ $48, not much more than if I ordered online and had to pay for shipping but I still have the wait. At least it should be quicker than ordering online. |

Title: Re: Need help with pegs Post by luxup on 07/03/07 at 20:35:16 Ordered them on 6/27 and got them today 7/3. I finally got my road test waiver on Saturday so went to DMV yesterday to get license and get the bike registered. So hear I am, legal, have the bike all insured and registered and no left front footpeg. What to do? What? Put on the old broken footpeg and ride with that you say. What a coincidence because that is just what I did. To refresh your memory, the broken part that I reattached can be seen here... http://home.nyc.rr.com/luxup/images/footrest.jpg It wasn't that bad. Just had to be extra mindfull of foot position and there was just enough peg to grab on to. Was suprised by the vibrations at around 40ish I think but I remember kind of liking it. I'll have to confim tomorrow when I ride to the gym. Was still glad when the dealer called and said the part came in. Went over, installed it out on the sidewalk and wow, believe it or not but I think having an in tact footpeg makes things a lot better :) So it's on to the next projects. I have a ding in the tank from when the bike tipped over in the trailer on the way over (that SUCKED), and I just got the sigma bc 1606l bike computer so now I can have a handlebar mounted speedo and trip meter. Thanks for all you help guys. |
