THEY ARRIVED!!!! Mine literally just turned up now. IIRC I have to remove the clutch cover just to fit mine Best go buy some oil today so I can fit them for the weekend I suppose.

[GregMember]

Whats the go with the clutch cover AB?

TB

[TrentMember]

In a master stroke of engineering genius, the RHS peg retaining pin doesn’t clear the clutch cover unless you chop it a tad. I’m saying that while sitting on the toilet mind you, haven’t confirmed it myself yet.

Thanks again Scott and the Mustard queen from Battyes!

[GregMember]

You are on the net on the can so to speak theres a master stroke of genius itself :laugh:

My best work is done while I’m on the throne

Crikey the rate of speed I work at this will be a 6 pack at least!

[GregMember]

Doesnt only the brake pedal have to come of Tony?

TB

[TrentMember]

Def the brake pedal and until I try I don’t know about the clutch cover but I do recall reading that it had to go too and that you could cut a notch in the pin to rectify the problem for future work.

[GregMember]

Looking at it Tony you are on the money I reckon, what about if you lift the pin up and file a flat in the round flat top of the clevis pin and then spin it around and lift the pin out. Then you wont need to drain the fluid and remove the cover. If that doesnt make sense let me know and I will ring ya and explain

Nah that makes sense, I was thinking that it was due for a change anyway (I think?) and I don’t expect I’ll ever take the pegs off again so was going to not worry about it but I think it’s a weakness that I should try to address as a “just in case something happens in the bush” though I can’ imagine why I’d need to remove the pin/peg in the bush.

I think that will do for now, thanks for the help but I’m polluting this GB thread I’ll post up if there’s anything interesting to report

Hey Austy,

Will I have to do that to my crf as well…to make it fit …do you know? :blink:

[TrentMember]

I doubt it mate, my KTM was a straight forward job with nothing required to be removed.

Just googled around and found this about a 2008 model

Fitting?: Pivot Pegz are pretty easy to fit. They come with full instructions as well as new split pins. If you need to remove the rear brake lever to gain access to the footpeg pivot bolt (as I did with my CRF), make sure you remove the safety clip at the end of the bolt first. A dab of loctite on the pivot bolt thread will also help it stay in place. Don’t forget to grease the pivoting surface of the lever bolt.

edit: I’m a bit wary of what he’s talking about here because he’s not clear (to me at least) about what he’s referring to. Pivot bolt? Lever bolt? I get the feeling he’s referring to the same thing here and that’s the bolt that the rear brake pedal pivots on. To remove the pedal you will have to remove this bolt and I agree it would be a good idea to loctite it when re-installing. I’m not sure of the set up but I would imagine that any grease you apply would be gone within a short period or worse still coated in crap so unless it’s sealed somewhat I’d skip that personally.

Calling it the pivot bolt when describing the installation of pivot pegs is careless at best IMO.
